How long it take, until you slept at least 5hrs?

If you have cold turkey methadone, how long until you got some good sleep?

i was certainly addicted to methadone.....and it seemed like forever before i got a good nights sleep ......................I especially hated the night sweats and even started hating nightime itself ...... this is more than a year later and I am onehappy camper for prayers that have been answered - even if not on my time schedule - - that methadone was a monster and i had experience with about everything you can come up with - - - methadone takes the cold turkey award this year - no need for an envelope....I can tell by the pll that I am not alone. One thing puzzles me - nothing would knock me out for that period of time - tried a couple ambien every few hours and chased them with a couple of valiums -----  I dont think a thousand milligram of thorazine would have dented the insomniac that I was up against.....

I had the toal opposite problem as far as sleep..i slept like 12 hours a day..so much i really had to concentrate on stopping this behavior..perhaps depression..not sure...when i went back to work it was a real bumber as it went on for a few monts...8 hours is my norm

I went c/t off of 25 mgs.It took me a little over 6 weeks to finally get at least 5 consecutive hours of 'real' sleep.No matter what we're coming off of it seems problems with sleep and energy are the physical symptoms that seem to linger the longest.Hang in there,You're doing great.It will come in time.....Peace....Kim
