Look man, the withdraw from methadone and sub's are brutal. The insomnia alone can last upwards of 30 days. The you have the sociological stuff too deal with on top of that, anxiety,depression. Don and sub's are a trick. both of them are just as addictive as the H. Go to the hospital and tell them you need to kick they will help you. But don't let them trick you into taking that crap. I currently operate a drug rehab in Kentucky, if I can be any help, please e-mail me @ ***@****. good luck and God bless you.

Ive been on heroin for 6 months, bout a hundred dollar a day habit. Trying to stop. Had a very little dose early this morning at 9am, by lunch started withdrawing, cramps, sweats, diarrhea, ect... took 30mg of methadone at 8pm and it kicked in by 9. I feel great now. My question is Will I eventually withdrawl from the Methadone? If so, Is it bad like the heroine withdrawls? Should I switch to suboxone in a few days? Which is better to take when getting off heroin, suboxone or methadone? Please post and let me know what to expect. I need help.Thanks

Like you I'm pretty much on day 3 took my last pill Tuesday mor ing. Nights r tough..no matter how many sleeping aids I take nothing works. I eventually fall asleep after three hours. I get leg spasms and can't get comfy no matter what. I was on about ten, ten hydros a day and have to quit because my rx ran out and I moved out of state so no hook ups. I heard today will be the worst day. I have a script for xanex I've been using and drinking 5 hour energy. We've made it this far so we can do it! I've been taking pills since 03 and sick of being broke even when I get 120 tens a month, but they don't last long. We are almost there so don't give up. Think how awesome christmas will be...it will mean your one month sober about to start a new year and a new you! I'm here if u need..no sleep for me for awhile!

I have seen people have them on them and coming off them when you get up to that higher amounts .This is a giant step but its a good one the only I would suggest is the a doctor can prescribe you something to help like colanide I used zanaflex its a muscle relaxer it helped sooooooo much Of course I did not sleep for 4 nights but its has really been worth it .It will be for you too.

mmm, had a seizure two monts ago from tram, second one, grand mal, busted out my two front teeth and broke my nose,now need reconstructive surgery and went through extensive, expensive tooth restoration, mri's catscans, ent, and now have to commute to birmingham for university level surgery. I was fortunate to have someone there. tramadol lowers your seizure threshold,a nd i'm not epileptic, i just happened to not hav enough water that day, i would say have someone there
