HI although you dose ant that high methadone is a powerful drug so even 10 or 15mg is a lot if you could find some and taper yourself down getting off it would be a lot ezer .....I wish I new a cure fro the sleep thing but it is the biggest complaint about coming off this drug most sedatives wont work so dont wast your money the sleep thing followed by the energy crash is the 2 hardest parts of doing this both will go away with time but it can take a wile for me it was 90 days we have had members do it in 2 mo but again it takes a wile you just have to grind it out gradually you do get better its just painfully slow try a 3 in one vitamin calcium/magnesium/zinc you can get it at wall mart for 6 bucks take 4 in the morning and 4 at dinner this will reduce the withdrawals you feel as you come off it it takes about 2 or 3 days to work but it dose help as for the energy crash I recomend whey protein shakes again walmart for 15 bucks the chocolate flavor is good you just mix it with milk drink 2 a day this will supply you with amino acids as well as vitamins and the raw protein your brain needs to heal its not a quick fix but rather building blocks it will also help with the energy thing you can try liquid B-complex it will help a bit but again really God and time are the only cures hang in there keep posting for support good luck and God bless......Gnarly
hello and welcome to the forum.
do you want to stop taking the methadone or you stopped only because you supplier ran out?
this is your third try? you can do this. it is going to take work on your part.
detox and withdrawal are definitely uncomfortable and definitely su ck.
your body has to detox all the poisons out of it and has to heal this can takes months.
look at the health pages on the bottom of this page. there is alot of information there.
the amino acid protocol and the thomas recipe will help make you more comfortable.
skip the valium and use otc natural sleep aids, alteril or sleep by nature made.
get some one on one counseling and hit some support groups.
sending hope,prayers, and encouragement
