Avatar f tn t already found the article look in the health pages and find the Amino Therapy Protocol and it is specifically designed for methadone withdrawal.....Do not let people scare you though....You have done a fantastic job getting down to 6 mg's and your withdrawal will not be as bad. As soon as you can get some mild exercise keep going and work your way up to 45-50 minutes a day 4-5 days a week and I promise you will feel better quickly.
Avatar m tn Does anyone know what the protocol is for methadone withdrawal in Florida? Do they help with symptoms for just send you home?
Avatar f tn There are a few members that will be along shortly that are experts in methadone withdrawal....Gnarly is kind of the resident expert on methadone withdrawal....He taught me a lot when I went through my withdrawal.....I honestly tell trusted friends that I would not wish methadone withdrawal on my worst enemy......BUT....It is beatable....I am sure you were not even getting close to being high from the methadone and it was more of a maintenance thing.....Keep going.....You can do this!
Avatar m tn I havent been on here in a long time. I have got my addiction under control and feel much better.My question is for a friend. How long does the amino acids take to start working? What are ya'lls experenciences with it? How much does it help. she has been on about 60mg of methadone and or hydrocodone for a while now. I am very worried that she may do something stupid if the pain becomes too much. Please help!
Avatar f tn There are some things you can do to ease withdrawal. Check out the Thomas Recipe and Amino Acid Protocol listed on the main subs. abuse page on the bottom right. When is the last time you took methadone? Have you been off it for a while?
Avatar f tn hi guys, i was just searching the internet for things that might make methadone withdrawal a little better. i know inevitably its going to be awful, and theres not much i can do to make it better, but there might be some things. im tired of being attached to these liquid handcuffs. ive been taking 20 mls now for about 6 months and just cant seem to taper down anymore than that. i took my last dose today. Does anyone have any advice, or anything that made them feel a little better?
Avatar f tn I thought it would help me live a normal life, while getting high on 5 bucks a day methadone. I am now living ,married to a methadone clinic ,and treated like a frickin drug addict by my doctor. Why did i think this would help? Anyone thinking of getting on Methadone......forget it, u will be sorry. I guess my question is how can i get off this **** (is there something that will help the pain i am thinking of putting myself through), How long will it take>?
Avatar m tn And you may have something there - you wouldnt be the first person to get off methadone by getting back on an opiate and then quiting.......methadone is a bear! Some research that I came across indicated that the rfesearchers couldnt tell much of a difference from quiting 30mg of methadone or 3mg - keep your nutrition up - the AminoAcidProtocol is very good. It even helps the "brain fog" that comes around.
Avatar n tn good luck, keep posting, and gnarly and others have a lot of experience with methadone withdrawal and are great at giving advice.....God Bless!
Avatar f tn ve got methadone to begin with but my withdrawal from roxys was a hard one and I got very scared when I started cramping, fearing I was causing my body to miscarry. I just want to do the right thing but safely.
Avatar f tn the withdrawal ease is just vitamins. that are mentioned in the amino acid protocol. i think the withdrawal ease is more expensive. eat a healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated.
Avatar n tn I would suggest you get a plan in place in case she goes into withdrawal. What dose of methadone had she been taking? She was on it for several years so the withdrawal can last a while. If she does go into withdrawal, she (and you) need to be prepared. Dehydration can make all symptoms worse and can be dangerous in and of itself. The ER is an option if she is feeling really ill, though I know our local ER will not prescribe any narcotics for anyone (pain patient or addict.
Avatar f tn I tried and failed to get off methadone for a couple years. Finally, I took 4 days of Norco 150mg then stopped everything for three days until I hit about 25 on COWS scale. I took subutex in the morning at 8 and in 30 minutes I was clear headed and my horrible dope sick went away. Suboxone and Subutex are not for everyone, but I believe it is saving my life. Mind you, I am following my doctors directions and going to counseling weekly.
Avatar f tn Please if anyone has any advice or has been in this situation and has a child that didnt go thru withdrawal or have complications at birth please respond! Thank you!
Avatar m tn I've been off methadone for about 3 and a half months now and the withdrawal symptoms still haven't gone away. I was on 110 milligrams of methadone for 3 and a half years, i detoxed myself very fast (in 3 months time) but i can't stand the withdrawal symptoms any more. Its not that the withdrawal symptoms are that bad but it's bad because its been SO long and i'm now willing to do subutex because i don't know how long this will continue.
Avatar f tn I would stick to the Thomas Recipe. Withdrawal Ease is expensive, and in my opinion not worth it for what it is. You can easily get by with just a few of the products it's got in it and do just as well. What are you detoxing from? We can give you a list of things you can get at GNC or Wal Mart or CVS. That's what I did........
Avatar m tn Hello everyone. I was around here not much over a year ago whinning about my terible methadone withdrawawls. I wasn't clean for long after I finally got to feeling ok. Thought I could dabble with opiates and got in trouble again and methadone is the most readily available and cheapest for me to get ont the street. Anyway here I am again about two weeks into 'done w/ds. Should have stayed around here more. Hell I'm 57 years old! Will I ever learn?
Avatar f tn For almost two years now I have had suspicions of my spouse being addicted to methadone. Four days ago, he finally admitted to me that he was taking it and wanted help. He is now on day 6 of detoxing cold turkey off of 60 mgs a day. To give a background of how it started: a little over two years ago, he fell off a roof and hurt his back. He begain taking vicodin (prescribed) for that and when he ran out of his presciption started buying them off the streets.
Avatar m tn When you say Meth I'm a$$uming your talking about methadone mot methamphetamine? Right? Anyways, if this is correct it seems like your daughter did it backwards as the methadone seems to be the standard protocol from expecting mothers detoxing from opiates. She should have stayed on the methadone and let the Percocet go. Whatever she does should be done under the care and advisement of her OB but here is some helpful info below that you can present at a dr visit.
