That is normal, sleep problems are one of the biggest complaints in detox of any drug, subs and methadone can take longer than most. You may go through times of feeling better and sleeping better, then it all starts again. Just keep moving forward, it will get better. You are still in early recovery, especially for subs.

Is there a temple or ashram near you? Early recovery as well as spiritual awakenings are aided by the kundalini and shaktipot of many coming together and focusing on growth. I like the Monkey Temple, the tabla and chanting of the masses brings a trance like state and openness. What group around you do you think might inspire you toward personal growth?

Yeah, we do and did numb ourselves for sure with the subs.  In fact I was an emotional roller coaster for quite awhile after I quit the suboxone but there's no truer word than aftercare.  In the beginning of starting my aftercare, I got an actual physical relief in my brain while at the meeting....I was so desperate for any type of relief at that point that I was willing to try anything!  But, they told me (on this site) to try the 90/90.  What's the worst that can happen??? You don't have to talk, you just have to listen, if you feel at the end that it's not for you, then whoop your at 90 days clean anyway??? Again though, with a little divine intervention, the very first meeting I went to, I heard a woman speak (and I've never seen her again!) and what she said hit home to me so much that I give her alot of credit for my decision to go back.  On January 1st, 2015, I will be picking up my first ever, 1 year key tag (I do N/A not A/A) and have been asked to tell my story on the last Friday of December (which is a very big meeting in my area).  To think of where I was just 1 year ago almost to the day, makes me sick....but the journey so far has been enlightening.  I've learned more about myself in this last year than in the last 42 years of my exsistance.  To stay clean takes more than willpower....this is not an opinion, it's a FACT!  You won't find many on this site that don't work some form of aftercare.  Obviously, your an informed person, look around and find what fits you.  BTW.....higher power (in N/A) does NOT have to be God. It is your understanding of a power greater than yourself!  Keep posting, would love to know what you decide.

Oh yes, your feelings are coming back, this is why we say aftercare is so important, Church, NA/AA, therapy, group counseling, SMART recovery, Celebrate Recovery, and so many choices are out there. Anyway, you will have to get used to feeling, yes, subs do block the emotional center of the brain. It will balance out and you will gain new coping skills. It used to be, I feel......., so I am going to take another pill. That is no longer an option, so now we say, I feel........I'm going for a bike ride, to a meeting, to visit a sober friend, to talk to my therapist, or whatever one finds that works for them. There is a learning curve, in early recovery, so it's good to have a solid team to play this new field. What do you have going on for support locally?

You are on your way buddy, and no maTter what you think or feel, you will get better: energy, clarity, love, all will come back to you. It takes some time, so try not to focus on how you feel. Be good and feeling good will come natural. Keep your eyes on the prize, YOU.

Congratulations! You are well on your way! All of the physical symptoms pass, Im on Day 49 and feeling a lot better, your energy will return, slowly, but it will, especially if you take care of your body and eat/drink well. You may have a shorter w/d time as you were not on it that long, and didn't take that much. You are past the worst, the first two weeks are rough! Proud of you, keep posting. XO. Carrie

I had heard that from others, so thanks for the info. Nothing but opiates made my methadone withdrawal go away and I tried lots of things, too many.

I was just curious about the adderall, the true ADHD folks I have seen taking it, calmed down and seemed less anxious. Does it calm your mind down, or just make the physical withdrawal go away? You say it makes you feel anxious, were you prescribed that med before your opiate addiction or during? Sorry, I just second guess every doctor I even hear about, so bear with me. I'm still working on those resentments, luckily the local opiate doctor retired as I quit taking them. I bought them on the street, but he was the one who prescribed them to people who didn't need them and sold them to me. Anyway, again, you don't have to share anything, I am just fascinated my mental diversity and take every chance I get to learn from a new mind.

If you don't mind I ask, what's the Adderall prescribed for? It's okay if that is private. I know I took it for withdrawal in the past, and it made me more aware of my symptoms and super motivated me to go out and find some opiates. Most prescription drugs I ever took were from the streets and I had no business taking Adderall as a bipolar, so my experience is pretty skewed with that drug. How do you feel an hour after you dose the Adderall?
