i am a reasonably healthy 46yo female & spent 18 years on methadone before being involuntarily withdrawn from 75mg methadone over an 8 week period. Last 20mg I came off at 1mg per day. I am now taking (not prescribed) 5-20mg methadone per day as I couldn't cope with some withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is not available to me in New Zealand & my GP prescribed zopiclone 7.5mg for sleep.
I applaud your resolve to get clean, but want to caution that methadone is very difficult to get off of. It is used mostly as an opiate maintenance therapy (OMT) to "treat" your addiction, which simply means that they substitute one opiate for another. If you do decide to taper off, remember that methadone is a long acting narcotic and your withdrawal symptoms will stick around for quite a while. You will feel rotten for as long as four to six weeks.
I went cold turkey from 30 mg. of methadone 38 days ago and for the most part I feel pretty good. I still have an upset stomach but the main problem is pain and restlessness in my arms and legs. I'm worried that it's permanent or something. Is it normal to still have rls this long into detox?
Please answer.. I'm really ready to give in and go back to methadone because I feel it'll never end.
the last ten years was Methadone. I stopped cold turkey....I have been in hell for the last 28 days. Today is the first day that I feel like a partial human being. I hope that it is uphill from here. My sneazing is out of control, stomach still irritated, but I feel like I can remove myself from the fetal position that I have been in for the last 28 days.
Does anyone know how much longer it ill be until I can function again?
Please take some time to look at my blogs (by clicking on my name and then blogs)to get more information. My website (www.mdsdrugdetox.com) also has lots of information.
You have a lot to live for and you obviously know what is important in life. Eventually you will feel like your old self again but much better, because you will have regained the trust and respect of your kids and family. And that is priceless...Good luck to you.
He is going to a clinic for professional help. He just started today and they are giving him methadone. Starting him at 30mg, probably going up to 80mg eventually, and then going back down to ween him off. I've read all of these stories about being on methadone for years, and I can't imagine that. Is that a normal time with professional help?
I've never been through this before and I don't know what to expect. I can't imagine this lasting even through the year at this point.

I am on methadone treatment for 9years now, and I have been having this strange feeling everyday I get a "sore body ach" kind of feeling along with a need to catch my breath just for a second or two, I don't know I these feelings I am getting are a real physical symptom of something, or if it is mostly the result of panic?? But these sensations I am having are making me insane, I can't sleep I think that I am drying??
Was thinking of Goin on methadone for only a little while long enough to save some money and go to detox. I would prefer to go cold turkey right now and get a naltrexone implant, but don't have money saved for rehab or my bills. What should I do? Will being on methadone make it harder it get off it in detox. Will it make it better to get on methadone for 4 months the go to detox? I've heard Goin off subs after years of being on it is really hard. I want a drug free life!
I was on methadone for over a year, every single day. i quit at 19mgs about 5 months ago. I started taking suboxone a month after i stopped taking methadone. so im currently still taking suboxone but im taking such small pieces that a whole strip lasts me a while. i take a small piece every morning around 4 am - 6 am then another small piece around 2 pm - 5 pm. my question is every morning when i wake up im in such bad withdrawals that i cant understand why i feel like this.
Every state has different regulation and it may vary from hospital to hospital. It can also depend on your OB/midwife. What they do can very much depend on you yourself, if you got regular and early prenatal care, was cooperative and followed all your instructions; presented yourself as a caring and cared for mother to be, then there may not be any reason for them to test you.
If you are ready to get sober, there are many way for you to get clean, read my blogs to get some ideas on what choices you have. Click on my name in blue and then blogs.

Been taking Methadone for 15 years currently on 150 mg per day and I am getting tolerant and do not want to go higher dose. I cant get off of it without getting very sick. I'm trapped and scared.
