methadone withdrawal vitamins

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.

I was taking methadone to get off of pain meds the withdrawal didnt seem as bad as the methadone wd. My ? is what supplements do I need to get to try and get better.

Methadone in most cases are a few weeks withdrawal. It seems like you have all the vitamins , minerals and directions. 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.

s you will see some great info on vitamins to come off of methadone ..... Go take a look at it ,i think it will be very helpful.

I have heard that dropping under 20mg of methadone is the hardest so here I go again. I have been taking vitamins, amino acids and walks to stay healthy. Reading posts and support from family and friends have helped me so much.. I will keep people informed of my progress and how it feels so maybe someone wanting to do this can see how long and how it feels to do this. thankyou again for everyone's support and anyone else doing this, you can get threw this too!

Only slow tapering at a rate of 5-10mg/month which can be supported by a good Vitamins and Mineral supplement and most importantly Clonidine and possibly a bit of carefully monitored Klonopin (a broad spectrum anti-depressant can also be of use in many cases) is going to give you anything coming close to a significantly reduced pain and anxiety withdrawal from methadone. Even a bit of oral marijuana can help, I say oral to eliminate the lung damage from smoking it.

i don't know about methadone withdrawal but I am on day two of w/d from oxycontin and dialaudid. I think the clonidine, b vitamins, and l-tyrosine are saving me from the worst of it. Do you have any support from your doc? You could try calling a drug crisis line to get some advice if you really can't cope. I've done cold turkey before and it took about 8 days before I felt human again. I heard methadone can take longer.

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.

HI Welcome to the forum...

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.

Hi im with weaver on this one 40 is a bit high I always recamend the single digits to come off of we have had member detox off high doses but it ant pritty it would be best if you continue to taper the vitamins that will help with withdrawal is a 3 in 1 calcium/magnesium/zinc you can get it at walmart for 6 bucks it will really cut down on the withdrawal you will feel take 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner give it a few days to work as for the withdrawals they will come and go as you taper the

I have been on methadone for 2 1/2 years and have been tapering down for about a year of that. I am on 4mg of methadone now. It got the hardest when I got to 12mg and since 6mg it has been even more difficult. I was prescribed neurotin which has def helped witb the withdrawal and also clonidine which helps when I can't sleep. I just don't want to be dependent on another drug when im done with the methadone. I was planning on dosing to 3mg then 2mg then 1mg being on each for 4 weeks.

ve seen of fentanyl detox and my own year long, slow methadone recovery, I think fentanyl and methadone are only different in dosage. The full synthetic nature and side effects of both methadone and fentanyl make them very close tie for the worst detox ever. As I vomit and shat myself in my yard from methadone detox, I remember wishing I was a heroin or any other kind of addict. Anyway, mute point, but wanted to share. How much and how long methadone use have you got under your belt bullseye?

t feel too bad by monday, but you will be in withdrawal. The methadone is in your system for 5 days, and half of it is gone in 2 1/2 days. I don't quite understand why they want you in withdrawal if you are going to a methadone clinic. I have heard of it though, but it seems strange. Are you going to an outpatient or are you going to stay there?

Also, will I feel just the Oxy withdrawal or will the Methadone still be lingering around in me to cause withdrawal from that as well?

i currently titrated down to 13mgs of methadone today...I was originally at 80mgs. I have been at the clinic for 11 months, spent the last 8 months titrating. How long would the with drawls last if I just stop all together at 13mgs?

50 yrs old-been on methadone 8months because of a norco addiction(lasted for years.) trying to get off this stuff. Went down in 5mg incriments and when i got to 30, had awful nervousness so went back up to 35 (have been as high as 75mg for 2months-my stable dose they told me.) requested to go back down to 30, although wont go into effect til tues. My clinic says they only deal in 5mg incriments. Would vitadone help at thus point?

What over the counter vitamins should you take while on MMT? Like Vitadone, but something at Wal-Mart. I've only found posts for withdrawal from methadone. I am not withdrawing, just want help with the sweating, sugar cravings, tiredness, etc. Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! I am currently on 120mg of methadone. Just obtained my maintenance dose, and have been coming only for two months.

well its really up to you jumping at 4mg jump starts your recovery buy a couple of weeks I tapered down to 1 from 150 and tapering below 5 was miserable and my final withdrawal was no worst then tapering below 5 so I tell everyone jump and just go threw the withdrawals there is no getting around them you go threw them no mater how you go off its just a mater of how soon you start get yourself a case of gatoraid and some highlands restful legs you can pick both up at walmart your final withdrawl

I felt like I had wait attached to my legs but I slept like a baby. Call gabapentin. That will help not as good as the Requip. I’ve been through methadone withdrawal quite a few times and every other withdraw there is I used to be a rockstar on this website haven’t been here for a while.

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

hi, your partner will get back to normal but it does take a good amount of time, if he was on it for ten years, 8 weeks isnt such a long time, if you think of his body and mind being reliant on it for such a long time, please dont give up, get all the information you can , read the health pages, top right hand corner of this page, it has "detox and nutrition"with methadone withdrawal, and lots of other help and advice for you, i really wish him well, take care and god bless.
