Tingling back-30 days of methadone

[j_done]

Today is my 30th day off methadone & it's been horrible to say the least but things seem to be getting a little better except for this awful tingle/pain in my back that feels like a million little bugs are under my skin. Will it ever stop?

HI coming off methadone can be a ruff roas the first month I was sick all month it gets better with time but its a slow process it took me a good 90 days for all the symptoms to go away then I started to get well this is typical for methadone withdrawals some people beat the system and heal faster but fro most its a slow process hang in there you will get better slowly start drinking whey protein shakes there 15 bucks at walmart for a 2lb can the chocolate is good just mix with milk it got the amino acids as well as extra vitamins and raw protein your brain needs to heal drink 2 a day till you come around the go to 1 a day this will help you heal faster keep posting for support good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

  YES...I would dose off then outta nowhere I would wake up to my heart racing like I had been out sprinting or something....it would scare me so bad...I just learned to try and take slow deep breathes and it really helped...but I know that really s*cks!...hang in there and it will go away for sure!.....

I've been taking the Epsom Salt baths nearly everyday. It seems to help everything but my back though. I've also been having times of rapid heart beats. Did yours do that?

   it will stop for sure..I was having the same thing...mine felt like I was being shocked all over...I've been off methadone for 33 days today and all the withdrawals are pretty much gone...I still get a few here and there..sleep has been my biggest problem...have you tried hot soaks on the tub with Epsom salt??...that seemed to help me alot....

I had about two weeks of terrible rebound pain and then it subsided.  Do you have a TENS unit that you can use to distract the pain signal?  If you don't have one you may want to ask your doctor for a script for one - they are usually around $100 and can be purchased from a chiro or other provider.  I never go anywhere without my TENS and it has saved me.  Check into it.
