Hey girl yeah she has only been on the methadone for about 2wks, she started at I think 5mgs and only went up to 12.5mgs.  She did do this to get off the norcos, she def has it together,  I think this is the way to go, the way she did it.  I wish I would have done it this way instead of being on mmt.  But oh well everything happens for a reason and maybe I would have relasped idk.  ttyl   sending my love

To:Febninthgirl      You are so strong and I am so proud of you.  I agree I think you are exp some slight wd which is ok    "this to shall pass"      Maybe you should go get some imodium and also people on here say valerian root.  People say it is real good they say it is natures valuim so maybe that will help with the anxiety a little. Keep up the good fight baby girl you are doing great.  Just a little while longer.  Hang in there.
Sending my love

I would say w/d they make you feel like a bad flu. Tummy prob keep you in bathroom. Hot baths or shows we help a lot and if you have a hot tub they do wonders when you are w/ding. Wish you the best and keep us posted. So did you use the methadone as a tool help you get off narco and the off methadone.

Hey sweetie how are you I seen you tried to get a hold of me I am so sorry I had a lot of **** to do today.  So you have not had any mehtadone today? You will prob start to feel it tomorrow afternoon or the next morn.  Prob some aches and pains maybe a hard time sleeping.  I think it will be little to no withdrawl.  You did it the right way.  Call me later if you want.

Not sure how come you were on methadone for 2 1/2 weeks and at 12.5mg? Day 3 is always the worst for you because it has a half life so thats worse day. You will have some w/d and lack sleep so on. Let us know little more so makes easier answer question.
