[Vinnieanew]

Well, I haven't had a methadone pill since Monday night.  Day 1,2 I was sick puking and not sleeping.  day 3 I actually was feeling a little better.  Now it's day 4 n I feel crappy...Anxiety,,Is this the way it happens, some days good, some days bad?

For me it got worse until about day 17 and then SLOWLY got better till about day 45.  But i was on 30 mg a day for almost 2 months so i was probably off a lot worse than you.  rmember that methadone is one of the worst drugs to withdraw from.

i was taking up to 80mgs of tabs with oxycontin some of the time...then started to abuse suboxone

He4y Avik,

what was your med you're comin off of?

[Vinnieanew]

I definitely feel worse but, it's just the anxiety.  Right now that's the only thing bothering me, which keeps me from sleeping more than 30 mins at any time,

Zakk, hang in there man we both are feeling each others pain right now.  I hope You're attempt will be your lastt attempt to get life back to "normal"

im on day 5 and i feel a HELL of a lot better. just hang in there. the worst is prob almost over. stay strong! it only gets better!

Hang in there..you are going to feel worse on day 4 maybe even 5..because of methadones long 1/2 life it stays in your system. You will get through this. I am glad your family knows but tell them to wait to come at you with anything..getting you while your down is no good..this is going to take some time, and it is well worth it to be free of methadone..

Hey ,

I am on day 3 and I feel your pain...This is my first attempt at getting better....The bad thing is everyone is different.. As I feel half way decent right now, maybe tomorrow I will feel worse....You have to hang tuff and kick this demons ***!!!!!!!!!

I really hope today isn't a horrible one.  One thing is my family knows I am doing this n my finance BUT, it seems when I am at my worst...they have to come at me w/stuff..n I feel my blood pressure from getting really mad for them doing this.  I tell them that while I'm going thru this, they have to just try to be patient w/everything..   But, it's day 4.  I feel worse today than yesterday.  Last pill was Monday night.  It's now Fri. night
