Cold Turkey Off Methodone

[ladyrhea4]

I am on day 6 of cold turkey off Methadone and I was talking 10 Mg's and that was it, I use to take 80mg a day..but for the past few years I have been taking 10 Mgs and I just could not take it any more. But the worms under my skin is killing me..is there anything out there that is Natural to help me and when does this Peak? When will this stop..?
Help,
Thanks Ladyrhea4

thanks for writing, I keep checking to see if anyone has wrote. I really don't feel like talking to anyone that I can't be Honest with at this time in my life ...You know it is hard but I left the house today and went and got some of the Vit.s that I saw some People list and I will get a couple of the other things over the weekend, what ever I missed and when My husband gets home I will buy some stuff to eat better for me. I have had such a hard day today...And it has been driving me nuts that I can't remember anything, I was even trying to count how long Its been Since I stopped. It was Mothers day that I stopped not sure how long ago that was...LOL...
And I have 2 kids getting Married in June one of the 4th and one on the 26 and since my kids do not know about this, Only one does and he does not know that I'm smoking Weed to help me out. I'm tired of all the lies..or Hiding...I did not get high off Methodone I used it for Pain, but you know you can't live with out it and I don't know if your body and mind can just make me think I have pain, Well it can but I mean...Was it always that? All I know I have to be off thanks for letting me just talk...and for checking on me....Thanks allot, xoxox Ladyrhea4

Day 6, yesterday i said was day 4, but apparently insomnia has warped my sense of time. Anyway, your giving me hope, all of you. My w/d isnt methadone, i quit cold turkey from 32mg's of suboxone. I always thought i knew what pain was, i was wrong, i know now. I actually fell asleep at 6am, woke up at 1 pm, and had my first meal last night around 3 am. I woke up, and i felt so much better, i was so so happy, its over, i made it, awesome! NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 hours later, a physical feeling like nothing in days past took over. Im crippled again. I am on Thomas recipe, started yesterday. My hypertension caused me to start seeing stars while walking, needless to say, my face is no longer pretty. A 3/4 inch gash above my eye. Oddly, everything else hurts so bad, i barely felt it. I took 3mg's klonopin and 0.2 mg's clonodine so far today, just waitin for them to kick in. Pray for me, im scared of tonight and tommorrow.

Hey thanks for writing...So for today it seems to hurt more. I think I will stop writing for a Min and take a couple of Ibuprofen and see if that helps. Yesterday was better but I still don't feel like doing a thing. I will try to do what you said today. As far as the Vits. and such that everyone has talked about I can get those On the weekend. I wanted to drop in and say "hello" and thanks for writing me it sure helps to have someone to talk to and with my husband working out of town its hard to be Running the house and be in pain and want to just yell if I could...Well I will check in later.
Thanks So Much,
Ladyrhea

Well thank You so much and I want to say Everyone has been so darn Nice..and as I figure out the place I will come to your Group you talked about. So its day 7 (oops I wrote 8 ) earlier...but anyway I'm so happy that today I did a bit better. I did some Laundry that made me super happy and Got Cleaned up that was a Big Thing.. This as everyone knows is so Hard and feels like it won't end..I thank You so much for the kind words and all your help I will write what you wrote down and go to Walmart this weekend.. Husband will go get stuff for me, does everyone feel like staying in the house and not see People..I don't want to be Social..and I have 2 kids getting married one on June 4th and the other on the 26th of June - the one that is getting married in a couple of weeks just told me last Night and she has No Idea that mom was on pain pills..
I would hide it from all 5 of my kids..

Well I hope to hear from you again
thanks for all your help xoxox Ladyrhea

HI ....man I feel your pain and know exactly what your talking about methadone su@#s to come off of....try not to get discouraged you have made it 6 days... it lasted 7 full days for me and then some of the symptoms lingered on for 2 weeks ..methadone is a slow detox its different for everyone but your symptoms like mine are typical methadone withdrawal symptoms ...try a nice hot soak in the tub this did more for me then any other thing it relieves a lot of the symptoms and helps relax you...my nerves where off the charts with anxiety early on this will go with time also...you can try some of the stuff others have suggested the highlands restless leg stuff helps a bit...you can get it at walmart wile your there pick up a 3 in one vitamin...calcium/magnesium/'zinc it will cut your withdrawals down considerable and its only 6 bucks for 250 take 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner this really helps ...
right now your just going to have to be ok without being ok for a wile longer ...jumping off at 10mg is usually pritty ruff but you all ready know that so just hang in there your thew most off the physical stuff now....be ready for the energy crash its next and it can be diblatating ....try and move around as much as you can...I know its hard to move right now but force yourself up and around it will help you recover quicker this is nothing that you just get over in a week the physical part is over but the mental starts and that can take a wile...Im 7 mo clean today and life is beautiful again but it took a wile to get here...also if you can pick up some whey protein shake mix again at walmart for 12bucks it is full of vitamins and amino acids as well as protein all of witch the brain needs to heal I still drink 2 a day the chocolate flavor is good you just mix it with milk....just try and hang in there the best you can....I dont know if you believe in God or not and im not here to shove him down your throat if you dont but if you do I found praying was extremely helpful thew out this experience he's all you got at 3am and sleep is one of the last things to come back so you may want to give it a try...keep posting with how your doing will all try and help as much as we can...just know this...in the end it is so so worth the fight good luck and God bless...Gnarly

Hi~  Try otc's for pain relief. Try Motrin 800mgs up to 3 x per day. For restless legs and wormy feeling: drink OJ,tonic water,try Hylands Restful Legs(from Walmart),take vitamins with calcium and magnesium,soak in a hot tub.  All these things will help those legs.  Keep up on the water intake and try to walk a bit.
We have a forum member,Gnarly1,who will see your post. He's very experienced in this area and will be a huge help to you.
Hang on and keep posting!
