Hi...well the liquid intake is critical to detoxing it flushes out your system without it your symptoms will only get worst....I recamend a case of gatoraid to start with if your not big on drinking get a shot glass and drink a shot every 10min this will keep you hydrated I cannot over emphasize this enough the kidneys play a huge role in detoxing your blood gatoraid is good it taste well and has the electolights in it to keep you replenished if your tight on money walmart has a generic that is just as good a lot cheeper the key to sucsessful detoxing is not only flushing your system it is also eating corectly NO red meat for a wile chicken is good as is fish lean protien grilled or baked you want to keep inflammation down that is what give you the bone aches there is a lot more to this then meets the eye blueberrys are great but pricy at least around here no alachol and limit even over the counter meds your trying to purge your system of everything this is the goal...now im not a marter for pain ibuprofen is preferable to acetaminophen it is ezer on the liver you must understand the body is under a huge stress load wile doing this even the small things you can do help this is not one in leaps and bounds but in baby steps....walmart also has a cheep whey protein shake mix it is 16 bucks for a 2lb can just a scoop full to a glass of milk the chocolate flavor is good and it will give you the raw protein for energy and a dose of the amino acids to heal the brain 2 a day is what I recamend keep posting get the gatoraid first if money is tight a case for you and your hubby and a cheep timer for the 10min intervals keep posting for support.......Gnarly
Hi I started at 30 but quickly went up to 150 by 10mg every week I tapered off but still went threw the ringer geting off the crap as for the symptoms the worst of it will be over in around 2 weeks the things that hang around for me was the ''energy crash'' witch is diblatating and the lack of sleep it took a good 90 days for me to get threw it im bipolar so the lack of sleep threw me in and out of manias in a word it s ucked I have devoted most my time on this forum helping others off this stuff and have helped a lot of people detox from all sorts of doses the higest was 120 mg ct so what your doing is very doable it is just harsh for the first 2 weeks I do recamend you join N/A it will give you a place to shair what your going threw with people that understand the support is ausum I still hit 3 or 4 meeting a week it is part of recovery trust me your going to need all the help you can get where all here for you just hang in there you will get threw this........Gnarly

i have been listening and searching music on YouTube everyday and at the beginning of withdrawl played world of warcraft but seem to just be bored with it now. and watch my 2 boy 8&7 year olds and husband play all these games on there ps4 which i find boring more then not ocasslionally im intrested also NIGHT TIME IS WORSE im sorry im all over the ****** place as far as explaining what im going threw but my brain is not functioning correctly oh and im supposed to go back to work on monday (i work for family so they know what i am going threw but im the secertary for our buiness and handle all paperwork and there really needing me not to mention my husband lost his job last month so i am needing the money but just the thought of me going back to work makes me even more achy and anxious and my brain is confused and weird and with all the papers i deal with daily id prolly just **** em all up anyway.
being a mother going threw withdralws is thee worst to cuz my boys are living off of ramen noodles and pbjs after school they dnt mke a fuzz at all and not only do they make it themselves which is okay theyre taking care of us also and i mean every beck n call every 15 minutes are you okay do you need anything mainly from my youngest my older one will help also but will get an attitude if he has to pick up which im breaking my youngest likes to be needed and loves attention but as a mother i cant help but to feel like a low down dirt bag of a mother i mean i cant even get up enough will to wash my mounds n mounds of cloths
oh and BTW i live in a low income based apartment they do yearly housing inspections of every apartment and GUESS what mines may 22 and ive got alot of deep cleaning and organizing that needs to be done before then wiping down walls and all that **** will i even be able to find the energy before this appointment to get what i need to have done done??
my husbands being an ******* he struggles with anger as it is...and when he cant sleep at night its the worst or if i ask him to stop by the store for food after picking the kids up from school i have no license and cnt drive i cryed for an hr straight this morning because he was just being uncaring and an ******* about making oatmeal and while i was crying on the couch with my head and whole body covered with a blanket he tells me to get up sit up to quit crying its guna do no good that theres no reason to cry bcuz were the clearest minded weve ever been which is ******** i sure n the hell dnt feel vlear minded and how dare he say that to me unsensitive ******* and thats exactly what i called him i mean i know hes experiencing DT also but id never say tht to him if he was crying....im angry at him still and feel like id like to **** him up...im not a baby and if and rarly ever i cry ud never know bcuz ill never give a human the ability to attack me whilw im weak so crying for me is a big deal and to have my husband tell me to preety much get ****** and to get over it is ****** up and of all people ATTACK ME WHILE IM WEAK AND VULNERABLE

Hi good to see you post as for your symptoms it is fairly common jumping at a dose as high as you did the detox last about 10 days to 2 weeks but the ''energy crash'' is worst then any other opiets I have detoxed off of and the list is long congrats on day 8 as for your hubby the thing with his junk can happen I was on the stuff almost 7yrs somewhere in there I lost all desire to have sex but once I stoped the crap it came back with a vengence his glands are all stoped up and it can be painful I hate to say this but the only thing that seams to help will be sex and if he is really backed up that can even make it worst he may need to see a doctor if it dont go away as for feeling worst on day 8 methadone is a real mo fo to get off of you just got to go threw it I was dope sick almost 90 days with the ''energy crash'' and no friggin sleep I have never detoxed and had the symptoms last so long some people come around in a month but it is a 60 to 90 day grind for most as for the body aches take a hot soak with ebsom salt it will help you may need several a day im proud of both of you making it this far you just have to lean on each other for strength there are several members here that have kicked the done and im sure they will respond when they see you posted again just know it is so so worth it to be off of the liquid handcuffs when it is all said and done it will be one of your greatest accomplishments hang tuff and keep posting for support Gnarly
You were on a almost 80ml of methadone weren't you? And quit c/t? So yes,it's probably normal you'll feel like this for a couple weeks to even a month. Getting a bit better everyday probably around two weeks. I'm sure gnarly will see this and answer,he seems to know a lot about methadone. Good for you for hanging in there!!
