Methadone withdrawal how long
Common Questions and Answers about Methadone withdrawal how long
methadose
When i started taking methadone i knew nothing about it. I didn't know how hard it was going to be to get off of it. It was agonizing for me. Not knowing Suboxone had the same withdrawal effect I started taking it. I was on it for a year and a half and decided it was time. The withdrawal was so horrible that I just couldn't hack it. So, I started taking hydrocodone. it's been 2 months since stopping suboxone. I am ready to be DONE with it all.
There is not set rule of how long and how bad withdrawal can be.
I hope he has a speedy and easy one.
God Bless you both.
Many people stop breathing at night and die with only a few drinks and taking methadone. I cannot tell you how dangerous methadone truly is and how hard it is to come off of. The Clonodine is good and will help keep you calmer and help with the blood pressure but check out the natural supplement amino protocol article and try some of the natural supplements. If you use them and take the Clonodine, it will be over in a few days.
Read about sub induction, and you will see that methadone requires special considerations. Read about methadone withdrawal before you use it. Check out the suboxone/subutex FAQs at the bottom right of this page.
Have you tried to taper the Oxys? You want to educate yourself before you go experimenting with trading one drug for another. Good luck.
I did make it though and it has been 2 yrs. How long has your daughter been on methadone? She will have w/ds for at least 6 weeks .Hopefully the mental health facility can help her with that. I would say that it is definately possible for her to be having those things happen because of the intensity of w/d from methadone. Please keep us posted..
I returned to methadone as was best option during pregnancy.(fortunately baby had no withdrawal symptoms). Haven't used heroin for about 5 years but so scared of withdrawal, thought i would be on one of the above for life. Baby now 19mths & have been withdrawing slowly so can still fulfill parental (single). I am currently on 4mg and have conflicting info regarding what to do next.
Hi~ Boy,it sounds like withdrawals are continuing in a bad way. Who gave you the methadone? A doctor? Can you call him/her? What and how much did you take before the methadone?
You need to treat each symptom separately. Get Peptobismal for your GI issues and
dramamine is good for nausea. You need to eat and get a lot of fluids in. Are you doing that? Once you get some nutrition you should feel stronger. Start taking vitamins.
How much methadone were you taking and for how long? Do you plan on quitting these drugs cold turkey or by tapering. Tapering will make your withdrawals less than if you didn't taper. I believe that the heroin detox is harsh but is over with much faster than methdadone detox. So we really need some more information from you.
I am curious to see how bad withdrawal will be. I have gone days here and there without using.. Only took 40 mg methadone a day, and if I didn't have that 80mg of Oxycontin... Has anyone gone through withdrawal after this short of time?
Yes and no. After multiple attempts at "replacement tapers" I've come to the personal conclusion that they do not work for me. Maybe if I could turn back time and do a short 5-day Suboxone taper after my mild hydrocodone addiction it would've been possible, but not after long-term maintenance with a long-acting opiate.
Could you please provide us with more information on your situation so we can better help you? How long have you been on methadone and at what dose were/are you at? Are you going cold turkey or are you going to taper? I think the first thing you should do is talk with a doctor and either figure out a taper plan or get some meds to help with the withdrawal if you are in it already. Sorry, don't know what else to say until you provide more information. Please let us know what is going on.
