Gnarly is right on track...I was on Methadone 30mg....got down to 15mg and kicked it immediately after hip replacement surgery, with small doses of Vicodin 5/500 for about 2 weeks. Now on day 51 and I certainly don't want any! See, when taking any drug the "receptor sites" within the body and brain are robbed of vital nutrients, which it must have in order to produce endorphins naturally. Envision a bowl of cereal at breakfast...you have the bowl "receptors" the cereal "neuro transmitters" by no milk "drugs or Vitamins". The cereal needs the drugs or vitamins..milk... to properly fire to the brain that I'm enjoying the cereal and am about to become full..."happy"...follow me? thats the easiest way I can explain it! Hope it helps...trust me I'm a research addict!

I feel your pain today is day #3 off of methadone for me. Listen to Gnarly he is like the methadone detoxing expert. I have 4 kids and have lost it with them so many times in the past few days it's unreal. The vitamins seem to help some and I've been taking melatonin at night and it helps a little too. I think I slept for 90min last night. How old is your daughter? My kids are 9, 5, 3, and 6mth. I told them I have the flu. Last night I cried for 2 hrs straight over nothing. I know Christmas is right around the corner and I hate to be sick for the holidays, but ultimately this is the best gift we can give our children a clean and sober mom. Good Luck!!!

HI im a little confused about what dose you jumped from 110 or 15 and did you do a proper taper to get to 15 b/4 jumping.....even coming off at 15 is a ruff road get up to walmart and pick up a 3 in one vitamin calcium/magnesium/zinc
start takeing 4 in the morning and 4 around dinner time it takes a few days for it to work but it will cut down on your withdrawals if still in pain add potassium
or eat lots of bananas there full of the stuff your not the first one that jump off to high and the next 2 weeks are not going to be fun after the 2 weeks pass most of the physical stuff will be over with then you get hit with the energy crash and no sleep ....it already sounds like you at that point .....recover is possible I was on 150mg for 6 1/2yrs I tapered over 8 1/2 mo going in and out of withdrawals so there is no ez way of getting off this stuff once your detoxed I have a few other things that will help you right now we need to get you detoxed this may take a month and for me it took 90 days to feel human again keep posting for support its alway a bit slow at night so check your post and post back to me about going from 110 or 15 and how long it took you I will try and help you I will check the post in the moring I work the night shift good luck and God bless.......Gnarly
