cold then hot, then sweating while cold

Does anyone know what to do when the cold then hot, then sweating while cold thing happens when I am going down on the methadone? That is the hardest thing to go through. if you are on methadone, you know what i am talking about! just want to know if there is some thing i can take to not feel that as bad or do. Thank you ;)

I detoxed off Vicodin (20per day) and Norco's.... the hot and cold thing happens, I would take as hot a shower or bath as I could stand... It felt to me like it regulated my skin temperature... not sure if that will help, but it did for me.  I also kept a fan on my night stand with in reach.  good luck

I went through the same thing detoxing off Norco and Oxys. I lived in my robe...its easy to take on and off...much easier than changing clothes constantly.

Try taking some paracetamol (Tylenol? Acetaminophen). This should help  minimise extreme temperature fluctuations and regulate your body temperature at a constant level.

All the best. Kind Regards Jeremy.
