Common Questions and Answers about Methadone natural detox

methadose

Avatar f tn I am taking 17 mg of methadone daily, started 20 yrs ago, it took a long time to get down to that level. I am at 4th week of peg and ribo, and am getting ready to start victrellus. I take a vitmin for people on methadone called " VITADONE" It makes a differance with methadone side effects, and gives more energy.
Avatar m tn on for over 40 years and it took a lot longer. There are many factors here..I will say that the Methadone detox took a bit longer then the other opiates, BUT I also was snorting Adderall from the streets (no adhd) with mine and took a Benzo at night to come down..Man what a DETOX!!! I detoxed at the age 56 back in 2012..I sure have learned a whole bunch about this disease..Both from AA/NA and in a Scientific way..
Avatar m tn t recommend anything other than vitamin supplements or natural helpers. If you take suboxone this far into the worst detox a person can go through I only feel it would be a setback. Please hang in there and remember your almost through the darkest. Many thoughts and prayers your way.
Avatar n tn thats not a typical methadone detox symptom, you should take this information to your doctor, when people pass blood through their urine, it is sometimes undetectable with plain site and needs to be sent to a lab, the fact that you are seeing blood in your urine is of concern the real methadone detox starts on the 3rd week, how long have you been clean?
Avatar n tn I stopped taking the methadone unfortunately and started back on the h. Now I get my methadone from my private doctor, and when I try to take like 50mg a day a detox like a mofo. Anyone know how to get into 90 day programs paid by the state? im from IL. Chicagoland. I also have insurance that covers 90 day programs apparently. any advice?
Avatar f tn It seems like its almost like suboxone or methadone in that you will have to detox from it once you decide to stop. Im posting a link from another site where people discussed there use of Kratom....you should read it before trying it. http://www.drugs.com/forum/need-talk/kratom-miracle-all-natural-supplement-took-away-80-wds-61718.
Avatar n tn when on methadone when do the bad side of detox really start??After 1 day or after two weeks??
Avatar m tn I'm currently in a methadone maintanance progrm. I started abusing xanax now I want to know how to detox off the xanax?
Avatar m tn Hi well congrats for taking your life back I also was a methadone addict for almost 7yrs went from 150mg to 1 mg in 8 1/2 months methadone is a ruff detox but it is doable if you can get up to walmart and pick up a 3 in 1 vitamin calcium magnesum zinc start taking 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner in a few days you will notice a improvement in how you feel they only cost 6 bucks for 250 and I used that brand when I detoxed keep posting for support the last 20mg are the hardest part but
Avatar f tn As desperate as I was to get off methadone this was never the path I would have gone down, & I dont believe this would work as well for methadone addiction, as methadone has such a long half life, it,s been 55 days or so since I had my last dose of methadone & I still have some mild issues that may take many more months to recover from, theirs only one sure safe way to detox from methadone & thats to titrate down to a low enough dosage & jump off, Im a baby when it comes to detox
Avatar f tn I have been reading about people using methadone for a quuick somewhat painless detox. I know that there will be w/d no matter what and I also know about methadones half life and how evil those w/d are. I have 10 10mg methadones and was thinkong about taking 4 on day 1, then 3, then on day 3 taking 2 and the last on day 4. Anyone ever used or heard of this before?
Avatar f tn I was an addict for 25 years, and opted to get help from a psychologist for the underlying issues that were the cause of my pain (before trying to self medicate). You can mask that pain, with drugs, or you can deal with it head on. IMO, get a psychologist, and if you deal with a psychiatrist, do get anti-depressants and not xanax or something else that will only add to the list of things that you'll need to detox from.
Avatar f tn I mentioned methadone, because a natural herb doctor, said " that I need to start with methadone", but I know a lot of people that are addicted to methadone. I just want it to be over with. I feel dedicated, but scared at the same time. I think I just need major support!!
Avatar n tn Hi - just wanted to update you on my methadone detox, this forum is a nice place to vent & get some answers.. im now on my 3rd day of 0 methadone after detoxing myself. i went on methadone for the same thing as some of u - thinking 'harm reduction'. i can't rag on it too bad b/c i'm a lot better now than i was before. before i was always hitting the streets to re-up, getting in trouble at work for taking long lunches to meet my dealer (who of course are always slow).
1264367 tn?1408104163 ve been sober for months and I talked with my PCP and he suggested that I detox off asap from methadone. I brought up that maybe my gastroparesis is from the methadone. I'm only 26 yrs old, female, and I thought that after years of drug abuse, this was going to be the time I can finally change my life and be healthy, but it's worse than before! I can't even live!
Avatar f tn Awe Lily- I am sorry you are going through this. It is certainly not PAWS as everyone has said. Methadone is a long detox. I wasn't on methadone but oxy with nalexone (similar to suboxone) and my goodness it took me 3 weeks at least for the bad physical symptoms to go away. At 2 months I finally felt good. Please listen to Vicki in terms of the Senekot for constipation. I have 2 autoimmune illnesses that cause alternating diahrrea and constipation.
Avatar m tn HI methadone withdrawal can last a wile your threw the worst of it but sleep was a problem for me for around 90 days dont take drugs to try and help it out it will only create another problem your best bet is get involved with some sort of support group this is really hard to try alone you can try some whey protein shakes for the energy crash and there are natural sleep aids but time is your friend when quiting this stuff try and hang in there good luck and God bless....
