Methadone Detox
I went from 40mg/ml methadone. 30 to 20 to 10 to 5 to 2.5 for the last 7 days. Herendous Upper Abdominal Pain to the point of feeling as if Labor pains started and I was bout to birth a new me. My waist went from a 26 to a 30. This Monday I am free 2 weeks. This was not by choice, 35 years ago I toyed with drugs. Not Today. I am asking how many Methadone rehab centers we need ?
SHAWN stated he had been on 2.5 for 7 days... to go from 40 to 0 in seven days would cause SEVERE WITHDRAWALS. I think it's important for others who are reading and going through this to not be mislead.
Over the last 10 years I had been on upwards of 300 milligrams@day of methadone. I decided 8 months ago to get my $hit together. I weaned down by ten mills UNTIL I hit 20@day. Then I only cut by 2 ***@**** 2 weeks. Then at 10 ..I cut buy 1mill every two weeks..until hitting 2. I then stabilized for a month. Then cut to 1 mill for 7 days then OFF. I AM ON DAY 5 & doing OK. I DID HAVE THE HOT/Cold flashes for the first 2 days. GI PROBLEMS for sure..IMMODUUM HELPS TONS! I do feel very weak...but not TOO BAD. I'm eating fine sleeping 3 hours with TRAZADONE ( I've always taken this and it's NON NARCOTIC).
I DID HAVE RLS during this process...but it seems to be dying off. Definitely irritable.. My senses are heightened..smell especially...and I'm coughing/gagging...Not fun But it's manageable! The key is SLOW& STEADY. Keep your eye on the prize! You can..CAN do it. It's so worth it!
