Methadone withdrawal at 3mgs

[Ashy022]

I have been on methadone for nearly 3 years. My highest dose was 80 mgs liquid methadone. In the last year I've gone done slowly with no problems. I am now on day two of coming off 3 mgs and am wondering what to expect. I've withdrawaled from h b4 and it was horrible and lasted 2 weeks. But I haven't really felt n e symptoms yet this time except feeling a little weak. I've heard it can take 2-3 days to withdrawal with methadone but when I've tried stopping b4 I started right away. I've also heard some ppl don't withdrawal at all. Am I in the clearing bc I'm at such a low dose and already on day 2 or should I expect it to hit in a day or two? If n e 1 has gone thru similar experience of getting off at a low dose pls post. I'd like to know what to expect and for how long if I do start withdrawaling soon.

Hi Ashy...I'm sorry to hear you have an ear infection...darn those hurt! Or at least they have every time I've had them. I always seem to wait until its unbearable, and by then I've got the ear pain radiating into my jaw, neck and tonsils. I hope you caught it early!

I just wanted to add, methadone has a HALF life of anywhere from 12-60 hrs...so it could take up to three days for just 1/2 of it to leave your system...then up to 3 days later, half of what's still left leaves the body, and so forth. So it can take SEVERAL days for it to even leave your system. I didn't know that when I first started detoxing. Kinda crazy huh??!!

And congrats on your clean time...one day at a time :)

Hi thanks for the update. Sorry you haven't been feeling well. It is not uncommon for people to get sick after they detox.have you tried a Netipot? To help clean out your sinuses?  The opiates stop everything up and then it comes back with a  vengeance. It is ok to take the antibiotic.
it is important to keep yourself nourished and hydrated. Fruits, veggies, protein. Drink hot soups, smoothies, ensure.boost if you don't feel like cooking. Yes the sun does help unfortunately it is winter. Do the best you can.
Congrats on your clean time you are doing awesome.
Keep on keepin on.. Sending prayers . Hope you are feeling better soon,
Debbie
