Just wanted to say..send me a pm anytime..if i can help at all i will..take care and God bless.
Congratulations to you for making this decision..it's even tougher when you know what you will be feeling like..You can do it..I jumped off at 65 mg..of course not recommended but it isn't impossible. if you are able to take the time off work and you have alot of support and you already know what you are going to have to go through then i commend you. 50mg is still alot to jump at..we are all here for you ! I for sure will be praying for you.
it took me about 6 weeks to really consider myself "functioning". i will have 2 yrs off that mess aug1..
I will be rooting for you all the way!!!!
You didnt mention if you titrated down or not? I sure hope so, as 50mgs is alot to detox off of. I to have been on methadone for a while, or shall I say, a long time, I started a slow taper about a year ago from 90mgs down to 1mg then jumped off about 2 1/2 weeks ago, & Im just now starting to feel somewhat human again. It,s a lengthy detox, I have issues with the chills, sweats, anxiety, & high emotions & depression, these are only my symtoms, it certainly doesnt mean you will suffer thru all this, but as you know, no one jumps off methadone without getting a good kick in the butt in one way or another & the ones who have it to easy are usually the ones who have subsituted one drug for another, & withdrawls will catch up to them, its just a matter of time. & JesseJames is right, clonidine works great for withdrawals, it helps you sleep & really takes the edge off, but it lowers your blood pressure, so keep that in mind. You did this before, you can do it again!!! Penelope
can you get a script for clonidine, i hear it can help alot. i'm in the process of tapering off methadone right now. not fun.
Hvae you gotten the thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol from the helath pages? I am gald u have the support you need..keep posting
