withdrawal day 2

Question

So here it is day 2 without the methadone and the symptoms have really begun.  I actually slept on the bathroom floor. Well laid there and got up from time to time to jump in the shower. Then this morning the vomiting began with the hot and cold flashes.  This is where i began to think maybe if I had just a little methadone to get rid of the vomiting I'd be ok.  Thought it but stuck it out and didn't take anything. I really thought I was ready for this but now I'm starting to wonder if I am tough enough and stressing myself out about how long I am going to feel like this or has the worst of it even started yet?  Sorry about the ranting just felt like talking to someone who actually knows what I am going through. Don't get me wrong I have a great support system at home and all the help I need. I just thought maybe someone here might have a little advice.  Thanks for listening!

i bet if you picked up some immodium some Hylands restful legs tabs and some vitamins you will feel more human, not 100% but a lil better. drink lots of fluids even if you have to force em. Day 2 is gonna be bad but there is light around the corner in just a few short days. hang in there and keep posting your progress..

Search here for the Thomas Recipe.. If you can get ahold of any valium or benzo's, they will help you sleep thru the next few days... Most people here say that until your 4th or 5th day, it's going to be the same. Best to try something to ease your pain! Good job on choosing to quit. If you were getting you DOC from a dr, or you are close with yours, they can call in a script for valium and clonidine, which is actually a blood pressure medication that will slow you and all your bodily functions WAY DOWN!! Best to try to sleep the next few days off! The most recent posts have suggested weed as a good thing to have!!! I personally don't like the stuff, but I suppose if it works it's good! keep checking back... I know alot of the people who post here are just now feeling way better so they may be out doing something for the first time in a week!! Please don't feel ignored. You will get responses!

well this is my first time quitting and my dose was at 80 originally, then about 6 months ago I worked it down to 40, then over the last few weeks i took it down to 20 and then finally i picked up a weeks worth and tapered myself down over a week. Anyone have any idea of how long this lasts?

Weed man, smoke the best hydro you can get. That, and a lot of peppermint tea if you can stomach it. Maybe a gravol will help with that.
