Happy jump day

I decided to do it already...took my last dose of 3mg yesterday 8am and dumped the rest of my bottles down the sink- that part felt really good! Scared to death.  Thought I would feel worse today but I don't feel anything other then being tired from working last night.  Expecting the worst for tomorrow.  I got my hands on about 40 Clonidine so I am going to take those along with all vitamins- also bought some protein shakes and lots of water. It helps so much to read other peoples stories on this site.  Today is 3 months exactly till my sons bday so looking forward to being a human being again by then.  Feeling good about this! Just wanted to share...hopefully will get some sleep tonight.

Hi ..with methadone the withdrawal takes a couple of days to hit methadone has a long half life with that said it also lasts a lot longer your withdrawal will be about 10 days then the physical part is over the thing that makes methadone so hard is the recovery time a lot of that has to do with how long your on it at what dose and your age some people get lucky and have it pass in 30 days most of us it is a 60 to 90 day grind just know you will get well sooner then later keep posing for support...................................Gnarly..............................
