i'm doin it...CT 12hrs in...

[quinner]

i took my last pill 6:30 pm last nite, just woke up and have to break my usual routines because my mind is just wandering to ONE place and one place only.  I was debating meth/sub and CT last night and i just said screw it and i didn't go out to score anything.  NO MORE.  I,m already feeling bad and i know its just going to get worse...someone help me through this.  I see my doctor at 9 am today, i hope he can RX me the clonodine and valium he promised.  Someone talk me through this please

[quinner]

i was giving the valium because of a alcohol addiction as awell, DR. wants to make sure i dont withdraw from alcohol cz that can be deadly according to him.  Right now i am feeling week in the bod and especially the mind.  its only been 15-16 hr since last pill and i didn't realize the symptons start this soon.  knowing its only gonna get worse is killing me.......

Edit: AS QUINNER SAID--

Meant to say "As This_Big Said" Only 2 Clonodine per day and Monitor ur Blood Preassure!!

IF it begins to go below 100/60 , on EITHER  number, Start Drinking Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of water - Like a Gallon and lay down. Ur BP increases if ur lying down.

I also had Clonodine for Methadone Detox....Do urself a HUGE favor and ask ur MD to give u a Weekly Methadone Taper. I understand your pain as much as anyone. The Clonodine may only seem to work for a couple of days - then the real WD will kick in. The Valium is ur best friend for the Restless legs but not much else.
As "QUINNER" said - do Not take the Clonidine more than twice a day, no matter ur struggle.
Clonodine started out in life as a Blood Pressure Reduction medication -- that teamed with Valium will Kill u. Meaning ur Ur blood pressure will go so low that your internal organs will fail to work.
Im a Cardiovascular Technologist and am quite familiar with that drug as I am with Methadone addiction.

Stay away from Suboxone. Try and talk with ur Dr about Weekly Tapering--I say weekly   because we cant be trusted with High quantaties of Dones....
God  BLess u and Im living proof that u will get over the Methadone addiction, its just gonna suck for a couple weeks. Stay off the Uppers unless absolutely necassary.
My biggest Suckfest right now though is Severe Lower Leg Pain that Ive just posted about and dont know if this is normal with Methadone WD's??

Diazapam if im not mistaken is Valium. As far as "as needed" It should have  like an hr limit or something on the bottle. Its a anti anxiety med so if you feel like you need one, take one. You might also call the pharmacy or your Dr and ask how often you can take one. I liked IBprophen(sp) for pain (Advil) I took the rx dose of 800 mgs. I'm sure your DR told you DO NOT take that Clonidine more than twice a day. What mg is it? Just curious... How are you feeling overall?

The Clonpdine is great. If you can, monitor your bp. I don't know why they gave you the Diazapam, I don't agree with it. What did the doctor say it was for? Just please, please be careful with it. It is addicting.

I know Tylenol is rough but you don't want to take any more opiates and it is a pretty small window you have right now. As rough as it is, give it a bit more time to see if what you are feeling is re-bound pain from withdrawal or the real deal. A lot of us go through this during detox and we think the pain is real and end up using. So you really have to check yourself with this one.

Try and nice hot soak in the tub to relax your muscles. Read if you are into that or watch a movie. The heating pad was my best friend the first week.

Most of all, hang in there.

i got clonodine to take twice daily, and 5mg diazapam to take when needed, how do i know when is "when needed"  And really, tylenol for the pain?  is there anything else that helps because im starting to feel like i got hit by a bus.
