numbness

Is numbness  in hands, feet and whole body a part of withdrawals?? Was wondering I dont see many people saying anything about it.. Ruthie

I never experienced that. I do get RLS which may be the result of lack of blood flow. So, the numbness could be related to that. not sure

Ok I do have some pain issues.I just wanted to see what  was from my illness and what is from withdrawals. It has been 2 weeks and dropped my methadone from 20 mil to 10. Iknow this is not quitting but it's what my ultimate goal is. From everything I have read, tapering is the way to go,Iknow a few people think differently . Ruthie

Ruthie, I think it is great you are planning to quit. Try reading the info on the following website:

It was very helpful to me prior to methadone withdrawl and answered alot of burning questions I had maybe it can help you too I truly hope so.......
