Methadone withdraws?

by djd8080, Sep 04, 2009 12:01PM

Tags: methadone, methadone withdraws, relapse, oxy

I've been taking about 20 mg of methadone a day for 5 days. Do you think I'll have withdraws from dones at that dosage and length of time? I'm hoping I don't. Before that I was only taking around 60 mgs of oxy a day for around 5 days. I caught myself before the relapse got bad.

Are you saying you took 60 mgs of oxy for 5 days only then switched too methadone for 5 days only. No prior addiction or addiction history. This does not make complete sense, but if I go by what I hear you saying 60mg for 5 days and then 20mg of methadone for 5 days then Maybe not. Need background. Why did you end up taking them? To understand enough to say one way or another. At 10 days you are on your way to addiction. Things vary person to person etc.

you should not feel major wd's from what you said.

but definitely dont stay on the 'done for long...........take it from a guy that had to go through major wd's to get off it.
