Methadone detox
Hi, I am new here. I am at the hospital detoxing from methadone, soma and Dilaudid because I am sick of being out of it. I have two ruptured discs. Does any one have any suggestions to help me? I am day one.

Thanks 4 ur comments. Sleeping is ok but I am also on seroquel still for BP. I am having RLS which I loath but I am trying to push through. I felt great last two days but I am feeling achy today bc I am stopping ultram. I would say the worst part of this whole thing has been RLS..it can really drive me bonkers-I get up walk around, use heating pad Etc. But it is cutting my sleep short even with seroquel. Talk to u soon.

Typically the physical stuff lasts around 5 to 7 days (I wasn't so typical as mine went on for about 2 weeks). And that's when the mental side of withdrawal really kicks in but the symptoms can be managed by a lot of different home remedies. What is your intent here? To give up all the drugs? If that's the case, it is possible to quit cold turkey - YES you will be uncomfortable for a while, but it will pass. Kind of like a really bad flu. And as I said, then you can manage those symptoms with various things - supplements, vitamins, and most importantly, some form of aftercare (i.e therapy, NA/AA, addictionologists, etc.)
And there are a lot of members here who have experience with the sub route, and I'm sure they can offer more insight into that process. It tends to get pretty quiet here on the weekends though but keep checking in I'm sure someone with that experience will respond to you.
