Avatar n tn well the 1st day was not that bad, but today i feel pretty sick. how long is methadone in my system? i was at 25mg originally & went to 0 in about 2 weeks. just wondering if its outta my body yet & if this is the worst of it.
Avatar n tn How long does it take to get oxys out of system so you can start feeling better. I take 260mg a day. I am coming off them. Last time i was sick for 4 weeks finally gave up and started to use again. Is there something out there to help you while coming off them. I heard of a med to take away the cravings. Where can i buy this product. I really want off but can not afford to be sick for that length of time.
Avatar m tn wow a 50% drop in dose thats huge with methadone its al about the % in drop where not allowed to discuss taper plans in the open forum but ther is some gret info if you surf this opage hit the health pages under methadone lets just say you went 40 % 2 fast and at that its going to take 3 to5 days to hit you I think your doing thid backwarfs though I would go off the hydro first dont do any thing for at least a week then the hydro then the methadone and with the methadone you have to go slow espe
Avatar f tn Well sometimes people are on it for years and others are on it for only months but it's different for everybody and the important thing is not to rush because otherwise u will fail and the purpose of methadone is to help avoid withdrawal so that u can get a job and b a proactive member of society without spending all ur time and money chasing that opiate buzz from oxy or vicodine or dilaudid or any other drugs.
Avatar n tn i read yout post and had to respond immediately,don't start with the methadone unless you do a 5 day taper 1 time only,2.5mg's first day and then minus .5 every day until your done.
Avatar f tn How long will this last? I am 22 days free of opiates. Althoough it has been so incrediaby hard, The withdrawls are like nothing I have even expieneced with the oxy wd. Methodone is HELL. So much worse than what I Have expiereced before.. I have tried calling the so callled "County Mental Health" They absolutly no help., I have called twice telling them about the angels and what they want to do .Now What?
Avatar m tn dose anyone know definably how long methadone stays in your system 4 days now could be worse
Avatar f tn How much u on cos it depends on how much u on to how long it takes to get out of ur system. It has a half life of 36hrs. don quote me on that. Cold turkey Monday morn 7am- 2 mg Tuesday night 7pm -1 mg. Thursday morn 7am-.5mg Friday night 7pm-.25mg Sunday morn 7am-.125 lack of sleep and restless legs were my 2 big issues to overcome.

Avatar f tn t answer questions regardless the reasons about how long drugs stay in your system .They are written in the forum guidelines I am sorry if you found this offensive . I believe our community Leader Saras message was to let you know in no way shape or form to upset you .
Avatar f tn I cannot say how oxycodone will make you feel in comparison with methadone. I can however, share that in my experience, oxycodone is a much less debilitating medication. It causes less somnolence than methadone, and is not as effective as a pain medication. For some who get great analgesia from methadone, other medications can help with the side effects. For example, I used ritalin for the years I was using methadone.
Avatar m tn 5 mg every week until I got to 5 mg then I was more sporadic in how much and how often I would go down and how often. I got down to the 1.5 a day and was doing well. I think my problem was a) it cost me the same at 1.5 daily as it did 25 mg daily. Therefore I did not stay on 1.5 long enough. I should have done another week and every other day. I had not been there long enough for take outs.
Avatar m tn I think when people start reading your post there going to need a little bit more information to be able to correctly answer your questions. How much methadone and how many vics a day? If it were just the vicodin, the w/d process would be about 5/6 days, but with the methadone included, may be longer. And if your looking for energy, DON"T!
Avatar n tn It will pass you need to get into a recovery program how much methadone did you jump off of ?
Avatar n tn I guess my question is how long does it take for that methadone to get out of my system completely if I quit cold turkey from the 70 mgs. I was doing the 105mg dose for about a year and a half? Also, when using suboxone after a heroin dose, I'm the type of person that would go into severe withdrwal if the H was still in my system. I had t wait at least the 12hrs. So.....
Avatar n tn I would like to know how long it takes for methadone,morphine,and oxy's to expel from your system especially methadone. Need to have a clean drug test.
Avatar f tn And 40mg to 140mg is a huge jump,is a doctor prescribing you these meds? Also yes,methadone has a very very long half life,so it stays in your system a long time. In your fat cells,blood and bones. Not a good drug at all.
351846 tn?1273615544 I have been on opiates for 10yrs and now suboxone for the last 3 my question is HOW LONG till my body stops wanting this stuff???!!!! Mentally I'm soo ready to stop but I cant without going through the usual: runny nose, chills, the runs and all the others.. I have weened myself to 1mg suboxone a day but that doesnt seem to be enough.. What do I do next??
Avatar n tn t want to get back on methadone because of how long the withdraw is. Tried to quit 30mg of methadone for 6 days and thought after day 3 it would get better but by day 6 I felt worse than on day 3 and didn't see a window of when I'd feel better so got back on. It stays in your system longer therefore making withdraws longer. So I had a friend who had suboxone so I spent a week breaking off small tiny pieces of it until I ran out then started taking tabs for a week.
1503566 tn?1290278128 Sorry you feel that way about methadone, but to me methadone saved my life as i was a IV user before i got on methadone. do you think maybe your dose was too high? I know witht he dose im on i do not nod off but i take more them directed to get the nod off feeling!!
Avatar f tn try not to let the time line discourage you you do get better slowly your dose wase low thats on your side but it seams like the duration has a lot to do with it also one yr is long in terms of methadone but it isent short ether ...right now just try to keep a positive attitude it will help more then anything else....
Avatar f tn How do I help my mom ween of the sub ...she had been in a meth clinic for about 6 yrs when my dad passed 2 yrs ago I mover her here to delaware they kept her on meth another 2 yrs she decided she wanted to detox off the meth well instead of decreasing her dosage weekly they just bumped her right to suboxone of course she had gotten sick body had to adjust ,,,.well she lost her job a few weeks ago she would pay 25.00 for a months supply of suboxone has now jumped to 160.
Avatar f tn He has no desire to use drugs now, but how will he feel with the methadone out of his system and how safe is rapid detox? The clinic in Tampa is supposed to be one of the best and you spend several days in the hospital. I guess I'd like to know what you all think. I'd like him to at least try the taper and he is leaning towards the rapid detox.
