Hi...well the liquid intake is critical to detoxing it flushes out your system  without it your symptoms will only get worst....I recamend a case of gatoraid to start with if your not big on drinking get a shot glass and drink a shot every 10min this will keep you hydrated  I cannot over emphasize this enough the kidneys play a huge role in detoxing your blood  gatoraid is good it taste well and has the electolights in it to keep you replenished  if your tight on money walmart has a generic that is just as good a lot cheeper the key to sucsessful detoxing is not only flushing your system it is also eating corectly  NO red meat for a wile chicken is good as is fish  lean protien grilled or baked  you want to keep inflammation down that is what give you the bone aches  there is a lot more to this then meets the eye  blueberrys are great but pricy at least around here no alachol and limit even over the counter meds your trying to purge your system of everything this is the goal...now im not a marter for pain  ibuprofen is preferable to acetaminophen it is ezer on the liver  you must understand the body is under a huge stress load wile doing this even the small things you can do help  this is not one in leaps and bounds but in baby steps....walmart also has a cheep whey protein shake mix it is 16 bucks for a 2lb can just a scoop full to a glass of milk  the chocolate flavor is good and it will give you the raw protein for energy and a dose of the amino acids to heal the brain 2 a day is what I recamend keep posting  get the gatoraid first if money is tight a case for you and your hubby and a cheep timer for the 10min intervals keep posting for support.......Gnarly

thats horrible, large dose to be kicked off like that. I seen a buddy of mine be kicked of 120mg he was sick for a month and it wasnt half sick it was full on couldnt eat for a month sick where he lost close to 30lbs and couldnt keep any food down. ITs been afew days you havent posted, how are things going? Did you go to the doc? If it was me i would find another clinic and do a proper gradual taper detox or go to an inpatient clinic for a month. Stay strong!

sorry for not responding in forever i just have not had the energy for a darn thing, pathetic really its day 8 since iv taken a dose of methadone and havent used an opiate....my symptoms are backs achy hot cold sweats chills confusion blurred vision ANGER&DEPRESSION to the max today is the worst ive felt since starting i dont understand why in the hell on day 8 am i feeling like its getting worse. my husband is feeling worse then i am physically but mentally has a better head. i feel like thrasing my house and feel like if i didnt have kids id blast my brains out at points.HONESTLY if i could have every physical symtom and not feel like i have no life in me emotionally and the no evergy id take it i mean its day 3 for me witihout even being able to get up enuff energy to shower im struggeliong HARD today ecspecially with the depression i already struggel with it enough as it is i hate to feel sad no happiness whats life for without happiness and joy with that being said i went to the emergency room late last night my husband and i both and they perscribes us
Ativan 1mg (keep in mind i HATE benzos but i have to admit after taking i passed the hell out
Clonidine 0.1mg (and im not sure how that that works only because yesterday i had taken potassium zinc magnesium and a b6 vitamin and also 4 40mg vyvanse in the morning(to get me to an appointment) and then again 3 40mg vyvanse at 3pm because i NEEDED sonething to make me feel happy and give me some energy. and aldo smoked some CBD bassed  marijuana for the first time in 3 years SO with all these things that id taken yesterday i dont know if it was the cholodine that took the back restless away or what it was BUT i just took my dose today 30 mins ago and am still experiencing acheyness, so I dont know.
a concern of mine though if anyone can give me some advice is my husband his balls are killing him he said hes never felt a pain like it  before. when he first felt it we had sex and he said it went away or subsided afterwards but its back now and worse i told him to go wax one off cuz sex to me right now is thee LAST of what i want and normally im more sexual then he is but i dont wanna cuddle dont wanna kiss not a damn thing. BUT  i do want to be taken care of anf fed and all that its fuckn weird and i HATE HATE HATE feeling like this. also my husband when he pees he feels as if hes done and then a significant amount of dribbles come out after hes pulled his damn pants up i cant find anything like this on any other forums whats up with that and numbness of the tip of his penis and toes and fingers.

so im still here and havent relapsed on opiates.even tho i know tht im using vyvanse and adderall and weed to help with the withdrawal which is replacing another drug for another. i have to start some damn where and anything to subside these damn symtoms thts non opiate ill take..also i can not get up enoug energy to eat nor do i want to eat but i get hungry so i been eatn oranges bannas ramen noodles and oatmeal and as far as liquids i have NEVER been one to drink much water in fact if it aint flavored id perfer not to waters the essence of life yes i know but ecspecially when my mouth taste like dog **** water does not a damn thing for it...so ive been mown down popsicles and id like to believe there saving my life from dehydration but could be wrong.  
somedays i feel like maybe i should just go to a suboxene clinic like today but then the other half says no **** that i feel like i wanna blow up every methadone clinic in the world and slowling torture the man who invented it. sorry for my psychoticness but this **** is torture and inhuman,,,,,God'll take care of them thoe. also i took 2 5-htp pills today and im also guilty of not taking my vitamins everyday i mean how is one even able to take
- 1 Potassium
-1 zinc
-1 magnesium
-1 vitmen B6
-2 5htp
-1 clonadeen (evry 8 hrs)
-1 Ativan(every 8 hrs as needed)
-3-5 vyvanse or adderall a day
When i can even eat solids barly this **** upsets the **** outta my stonach
any suggestions for that? okay well im signing off now i will try to respond at least once a day from here on out or at least my huband will...for today thoe i feel the worst and dont understnad how when im on day 8

Sincerely
~**** METHADONE

You were on a almost 80ml of methadone weren't you? And quit c/t? So yes,it's probably normal you'll feel like this for a couple weeks to even a month. Getting a bit better everyday probably around two weeks. I'm sure gnarly will see this and answer,he seems to know a lot about methadone. Good for you for hanging in there!!

Hi good to see you post  as for your symptoms it is fairly common jumping at a dose as high as you did the detox last about 10 days to 2 weeks  but the ''energy crash'' is worst then any other opiets I have detoxed off of and the list is long  congrats on day 8 as for your hubby the thing with his junk can happen  I was on the stuff almost 7yrs  somewhere in there I lost all desire to have sex but once I stoped the crap it came back with a vengence  his glands are all stoped up and it can be painful I hate to say this but the only thing that seams to help will be sex  and if he is really backed up that can even make it worst he may need to see a doctor if it dont go away as for feeling worst on day 8  methadone is a real mo fo to get off of you just got to go threw it  I was dope sick almost 90 days with the ''energy crash'' and no friggin sleep I have never detoxed and had the symptoms last so long some people come around in a month but it is a 60 to 90 day grind for most as for the body aches take a hot soak with ebsom salt it will help  you may need several a day im proud of both of you making it this far you just have to lean on each other for strength there are several members here that have kicked the done and im sure they will respond when they see you posted again just know it is so so worth it to be off of the liquid handcuffs when it is all said and done it will be one of your greatest accomplishments hang tuff and keep posting for support   Gnarly
