  Hi, I was wondering if any of u feel really weak when going through withdrawal?  Like it's just really hard to even go up the stairs?  It's also hard to even get a deep breath.  OMG when does it end???!!!!

Hey Teri.....as you know I am on day 3  of my detox (this time) and I have little or no energy....haven't slept but a few short moments .....but I have done this before...and I WILL DO IT THIS TIME.....my experince is that after about a week or so your energy will begin to return...of course the better you take care of yourself during and after the detox the better off you will be....I'll say a prayer for you and try to send you some strength....please be good to yourself and keep walking the road to getting free.....as will I.......peace.......

   Hey guys, thanks for the comments.  I'm not even all the way off methadone yet, I'm tapering and on 2.5mg a day now, almost done, I can't wait!  I've just been trying to give my body time to adjust to each drop.  I feel pretty awful now so I can only imagine what's to come!.........Teri  :)

When I was in withdrawals, I had terrible weakness.  Just walking from one room to another was a huge effort.  My legs were so heavy!  I also had increased anxiety and felt like I couldn't get enough air in my lungs.  I used Valerian Root and found it to be very helpful.

Yes honey we all feel that way. What day are you on? I promise it will pass. I'm almost a month clean and I have energy now. It isn't the same energy I had on pills but its my very own and I love it. Are you taking vitamins?
