methadose

Avatar f tn i am a reasonably healthy 46yo female & spent 18 years on methadone before being involuntarily withdrawn from 75mg methadone over an 8 week period.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.
Avatar m tn There is great support here and we can help you with home remedies and such to ease the withdrawal process. I hope you consider it.
Avatar n tn I applaud your resolve to get clean, but want to caution you 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. There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves. I would only guess that if are successful in doing it at home you don't end up in my clinic.
Avatar m tn my personal sub doc (VERY EXPENSIVE BY THE WAY) assured me it was giving me my life back.... easy to say when you are not going thru methadone withdrawal and want to quit hurting. but in reality its the toughest 2 weeks of your life. I have a very physical job (I move furniture) and fell hook line sinker for that lie. I went thru 4 days of hell making sure I didnt get PRECIPITED WITHDRAWALnow I am struggiling with 7 days clean. I have slept a grand total of 12 hrs sleep.

Upon returning home, I immediately started to reduce my Methadone, until I had stopped using it on the 15th. The Percocet ran out on the 17th.
Avatar n tn HI its never a good idea to use another narcotic to grt off one you wind up cross addicted methadone withdrawals last a long time you will be addicted to the vicaden b/4 the methadone withdrawal is over you best bet is just biting the bullet and jumping although I would recamend tapering down some more b/4 you jump trying to use vicaden as a get out of jail card wont work it will just postpone the inevitable good luck with your detox......
Avatar f tn Yeah, It sure sounds like methadone withdrawal, I,ve been slowly weaning off methadone for almost one year, as of today Im at 3mgs, & while Im ok at times, their are other times when I get cranky, emotional, and the worst of the worst is the lack of energy, I take so much pride in my home as this is my first home I bought, & its most peoples dream home, well since getting under 12mgs I have let it all go, dishes in the sink, my bathroom looks like a huricane hit, laundry is piling up, I

1298677 tn?1308444251 Just remember this Josh, you can never safely use again, even if it is not opiates you use, it will lead you back to your drug of choice. I want you to never have to go through the withdrawal of methadone again. It is the worst of drugs to clean up from. I just wanted to say, you give us all hope and we think you are awesome for being so determined to become a better person and be nicer to yourself!
Avatar f tn She still had awful withdrawal the first 24 hours even on methadone. And some mild withdrawal after the methadone tapper had ended. Irritable, shakey, low grade fever and lethargy.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know any home remedies for Tramadol withdrawal? I've taken them for 2 months straight at least 6 a day and now feeling awful!!! Please help!
Avatar f tn 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. You may want to switch to something shorter acting, talk to your doctor about it, and taper off of that. There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves.
Avatar f tn There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. especially from the long acting opiate like methadone (if you are still on it). I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves. I would only guess that if are successful in doing it at home you don't end up in my clinic. Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates).
4244020 tn?1351613916 Im helping my husband with a at home methadone detox before he goes into a year long christian rehab program. He has been on Methadone for 8-9 months. He was on 60mg and started detox on short notice. He went down 40, 20 then 10 all in one week. He stopped taking methadone Sunday (its Tuesday). He tried a facility for detox but they had some funny business going on so he is at home now. He has me and 4 other people watching him constantly.
Avatar m tn I have done a couple of these inductions, for people who are on high doses of methadone and who failed tapering several times and who are desperate to get off the methadone. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME! I am a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, and I worked with unconscious people for ten years-- so I have a comfort level that a person without such experience shouldn't have!
Avatar n tn So if there are any others out there that have been through this and have any home remedies or anything at all that may help me get through this, like I said, it will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I stopped taking vicodin and had some methadone to help with withdrawal. I've taken methadone for about a week now and have just a couple left. I've taken 1.5 for a day or 2 and then 1.25 for 3 days. I have 1.25 left. My question is, will I have withdrawals from the vicodin even though it's been over a week since i've been off them or did the methadone just mask that withdrawal? Also, will I now have withdrawals from the methadone?
