What are methadone withdrawal symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about What are methadone withdrawal symptoms
methadose
Do not take methadone that has a very long half life and really has the longest withdrawal symptoms out of anything. Next to herion that is. Subs also have a 72 hour half life so also very long withs.
So whats this Subutex? Is it the Suboxone or part of it. I'm on Suboxone and it makes me so so sick i throw up half hour after taking it. Also it gives me real bad stomach aches. Even the taste is unbearable now. Probably cause i anticipate the throwing up. It is horrible. Its turned into a nightmare I'm hoping that this week when i see the Dr. that he will switch me back onto the methadone I'm insisting on it. Not another day not another week....
and just a heads up not all but most sub doctors dont know what they are talking about....mostly just want to get your money....they will try to start you off at a high dose trust me you wont need to be on anything more than 8mg to start....i was doing 1-2 bundles of heroin a day IV and i started at 4mg the first day and second day dropped to 2mg and i was fine.
do your research on your own in regards to subs....
s only natural that Methadone withdrawal will last longer then heroin or pills, the withdrawal symptoms are the same as any other opiate withdrawal not worse and not less. Please don't believe everything you see online,and definitely don't expect your experience and withdrawal symptoms to be the same as someone else's.
This individual will almost certainly experience opioid withdrawal. While "unpleasant" this will not be life-threatening.

Anxiety
Muscle aches
Increased tearing

t have any withdrawal but I hated the way the methadone made me feel. I have a few methadone pills left but I do not want to take them- I would rather have the withdrawals. I also should add I have ativan to take for anxiety, I do not take them often but if I need them, I have them along with ambien to help me sleep.
I am the last person anyone would suspect of this and so ashamed I am even in this position. Anyone have any advice or insight on what I should expect?
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.
At this point, you may have some loss of calcium, minerals or other components that could be adding to the withdrawal symptoms. When we receive patients who are already withdrawing for a certain amount of time, we always do full blood-work and start supplementing everything that they have lost prior to going to Domus Retreat. If you have a family physician, have them check you out to see how they are able to assist you with the remaining symptoms without the use of opiates.
The level of misinfo on here about this subject is sad.
Here are some facts:
There is an EXTREMELY HIGH risk of miscarriage if you detox from methadone while pregnant.
Lowering your dose WILL NOT mitigate neonatal withdrawal symptoms after birth. The fetus absorbs much of the dose, causing mom to be in constant withdrawal if dose is lowered, which is dangerous to the fetus. Federal methadone guidelines now recommend dosage increases during pregnancy.
Yes, the baby will go through withdrawal.
you were on it for 10 years so I would definitely say that the problems you are experiencing are methadone withdrawal even though you are taking the subs.
my daughter has weaned herself from methadone, is now having withdrawal symtoms. should she continue taking
the methadone, should she continue to wean herself off and suffer the side effects? what are the worse case symtoms
she may experience. any suggestions i may pass on.
Ive never been through that process, and I know alot of states, counties are different in how they deal with methadone(opiod)dependence when they are arrested. From my own experience methadone has been my own personal battle along with others, but the methadone was the costant and Im still in the process of beating it completely. I wish your daughter all the best, maybe she can get off of methadone, I dont know the situation but I can tell you its a hard one to kick.
Are the withdrawal symptoms I am suffering from the suboxone withdrawal or are they from the residual methadone withdrawal? I suspect that these symptoms are still from the 30 years of methadone I put into my body since I've only been off of methadone about 2 1/2 months. Can anyone tell me how long they suffered methadone withdrawal symptoms after a long methadone addiction? Should I continue to stay on the four mg.
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 I think your feeling the methadone withdrawal its post withdrawal can last a few months it would be great to be narcotic free but the patches should be bringing some realeaf the patches are hard to ween off its ezer if your on hydros or percs then taper off from ther or just pull the plug on all of it and go threw the withdrawal but ill beet its the methadone messing with you it took me a good 90 day to start to feel right after I detox off the stuff hang in there better days are ahead good l
s I know want you off methadone for 3 days OR when you are in kinda bad methadone w/drawals. That being said, on my 2nd day off methadone, (was on 32mg's) , I took a couple Vicodins because of the w/drawals. On the evening of day 3, I was tested for the amount of methadone still in my system. I only had a tiny bit, (also popped positive for opiates, but explained why), and was given my dose and felt fine in 1/2 hr. Actually, felt great.
I am horrified at what will happen if I have to stop talking them. Are the withdrawal symptoms worse with methadone than with Vicodin?
Do you plan on tapering at all? Even though you have only been taking it twice a week, that is a pretty hefty dose. I don't really have any experience with methadone except from what I have read so I don't have the knowledge to answer your question but there are a couple of members that do. Gnarly1 and KC both know a great deal about methadone. They have both tapered off and are clean from methadone and everything else. I'm sure they will be along during the day to help you out.
I have been in your shoes before. Unfortunately, methadone is a tough one to kick....The withdrawal symptoms are not worse than others but it sticks around for a lot longer.....The positive thing is that you are coming off of methadone.....the other positive is that you will start feeling better here soon but you have to understand that methadone is one of the most difficult things to detox from on the face of the plant....So you can take that one of two ways.....
