Hey john.....about your withdrawal.....first off methadone has a 1/2 life of 36hr meaning you usually dont feel the decrese till a few days go by there are exceptions to the rules I know people who would feel it the same day.....keep pumping the vitamins calicum/magnesium/zinc in about 3 days you should have some releaf also dont rush this it will only get you sick the last 20 it is critical you go slow keep posting for support we all want to see you get clean............Gnarly
I was one of those people who could sleep and that's all I wanted to do when coming off opiates. (sorry to those who can't sleep!)
I didn't visibly have sweat coming off me, but I did notice my underarms sweat more and so did my feet. I sweated mostly at night.
I was freezing cold even with blankets, extra clothes, space heater, heating pad, you name it.
I take a beta blocker blood pressure medication regularly for migraines. If you are just starting out on them or now taking the clonodine, then yes, you could be tired from them as well.
Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about low T or anything else like that right now. Try not to over think your symptoms. It's hard not to when detoxing, I know. When we do though, it increases our stress and anxiety. You are doing very well and soon this will all be behind you.
Hi John...I agree with you on the doctor issue..It is good to have a doc that knows about methedone...And the money the Phams & Doc make on our addiction...WOW...Maybe you are going through male PMS...You know some guys do...That is like "Hot Flashes"...It could be the meds???I am not a Doctor...You just hang tight you have come along ways and have learned alot...OK I do know about the cold weather too!!!!

Hi John. Chills are all part of the WDs. You are doing good!! Just treat the symptoms and buckle down with it. You are almost at the finish line!! Don't stress about every little thing. Stress will make you sick as well. Try to relax and just know it will all be done soon!! You are doing great!!
