6 days methadone free!

[Jenelle2020]

Wow I can't believe it is 6 days already and I still feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. Am I going to get out of this this easy? All I have suffered is a bit of nausea and today it isn't even there! I really feel this is due to my long and slow taper and I would advise anyone going off methadone not to rush it, it just isn't worth it! Keeping positive here.....

Hey gnarly, my sleep is not too bad, it is broken up but I started to lose sleep when I was doing my taper so I am used to it now. Today is 7 days off and my only complaint is a slightly nauseated stomach, no other symptoms to report. I just hope that this is the worst of it.

Hey Girl......I ment to ask you how are  you sleeping???? I think that has a lot to do with the energy crash so many of us go threw ....it took months for me to get anny sleep  today im happy if I get over 5 hr ...remember no mater how you feel just push threw it better days are ahead
good luck and God bless..............Gnarly

Yes it will..You and sweetness & smilingbright are my Stars..I had no choice to go c/t..I went down to 15mgs on a taper but started to add the adderrall and take the benzo at night..I was finding I was slowly climbing back up..So I had to just do it..I did a OK taper once on the hydo/oxys..Trusted Dr to put me on the dones for a pain issue..RIGHT!!!!
So I am proud of you girls and now I push a taper plan always...You three girls should help ponco calm down..He was on here many months ago..He is doing a taper and I can not answer his questions..lol

[SmilingBright]

Omg!!!!!  So excited for u my girl!!!!! U r awesome and helped me so much for my taper!!!!!  Love ya girl!!!!!

I am sure that the slow taper is the best way to go. I have seen so many people here on methadone that don't take the time to taper and they really suffer. Those comments scared me! I was too afraid of withdrawals so I dragged it out very slowly and it was painless. I totally understand why people want off this drug ASAP, I was one of them, I just wasn't willing to endure a painful taper or worse, go CT. I hope my experience will help someone else.

6 days - that is great.  Sounds like the slow taper is the way to go - I'm sure it was not easy . . . .GREAT job - keep it up!

[toothfairie]

[VICourageous]

Great Job getting clean from the beast...I wish I would of found this site before I went c/t from 3 meds..It would of been such support and a taper is the way to go!!!!!!! Now u go and keep sharing your experiences with the next addict who comes along...

Thanks for the responses, gnarly_1 I will definitely be doing the whey protein shakes and ricart there is not a chance in the world I would EVER touch methadone again! It took my pain away so that was a good thing but I have never craved it, I don't like the drug and it was definitely not my DOC

[ricart70]

Great job !!   keep it up  :)   awesome !     Don't ever go back it's not worth it

[gnarly_1]
