Wondering about side effects from methadone withdrawal

[sky537]

Hi I would like to know if anyone experiences after missing only one drink 65mgs do you get  very weak I mean you can hardly get dressed weak. I live in Canada I'm a 42yrs old women I've been on methadone for 2yrs I started tapering off in July/08 Its now Dec/o8 I was at 140mgs when I started going down, if anyone has any feedback for me I'd really appreciate it.Thanks sky537

definitely normal for missing a dose. its giving you a taste of withdrawals I'm sure. withdrawals can make you feel extremely weak, and I know methadone being one of the strongest opiates its probably very bad. I used to wake up every morning sick when I wouldn't take norco right away, my body was already feeling w/d from waiting 8-9 hours between doses. best wishes on your taper!

What you are experiencing from missing your dose is very normal...I was on methadone for almost 2 years.I went c/t off of 25 mgs and I'm coming up on 10 months clean.If I can help you out in any way please fell free to shoot me a pm anytime.All the best...Kim
