I just cold turkey kicked 100 mg methadone, and it is the worst thing ive ever done.

Anything I can do to stop these massive withdrawl symptoms. Ive got benzos, they dont do NOTHING! Ive got some oxycodone and they barely knock the edge off. Ive made it almost 3 weeks now but im feeling like crawling out of my skin and going to hell. Any other suggestions, besides gettin back on the "liquid handcuffs"?

Hello,

You did take a very big step.. Are they open on Saturday's where MAYBE you could go in and talk to someone about putting you on a lower dose so you don't have to indulge in all the pain?!?!?!? My step sister goes to a methadone clinic and also goes through some stuff.

I know your probably sick of the place, but just to get yourself to a lower dose then stop cause I know just how strong one 10mg methadone is... that's like taking ten of them a day.

Did they say they you could not come back now??

You have to at least drink small sips every 15 minutes or so of gatorade or ensure. If you become dehydrated you will have to be hospitalized. Take motrin or tylenol for the aches ,pains and fever. Over the counter natural sleep aid, alteril or sleep by nature made. How is your heart rate?

Yea, your going through hell! Is there any way you can drink Gatorade. Your probably very dehydrated which makes everything worse. No turning back right? Just take this 1/2 hour at a time. You will get to the other side. I hope you have some help.

Cant eat, cant sleep, Hot, cold, fever from 99.5 up to 101.4 everything that ***** is basically what im goin thru......

I was on 135 mg. I was coming down and I let my dumb *** counselor talk me in to stopping b/c I was getting back surgery. After the surgerythe clinic would not send me a nurse to get my med, and I was not able to go down the 2 flights of stairs in my apt. and then drive a car......... So I just said eff it ill quit. Big Mistake? Im just in  a way right now and I dont know what to do......

Omg I couldn't Fatham just going Cold Turkey at 100 mil of Methadone?????? I know they treat us like we are their property its all a psycological GiG with them but as long as you maintained a clean U/A then why didn't you "TRY" to just start coming down slowly? I'm only asking cuz I started in April never surpassed 40mg even though they TRIED convincing me I needed it again its all about the money...Im now as of Today at 25mil and come monday 20mil.
As I have wrote on these forums I made sure to read everything b4 I stepped a foot in those doors and I knew Methadone was stronger and much harder to kick than ANY Pain med we ever took....I'm going to email you something...Please check it and let me know what you think??
hang IN THERE
