How long do methadone withdrawal symptoms last - part 2

I know your pain I M going on 2 weeks with out it.

I'm on day 9, I'm decent, just exhausted always and stomach problems left. How much longer do I have of this

I'm on day 10 without methadone. Was on for about 3 years for chronic pain. Had to start seeing a new Dr bcs old one who prescribed my methadone moved and new Dr says she doesn't prescribe ANY narcotics. I went from 90mg a day to nothing. So my physical withdrawals started to get really bad around day 4. Although most of the physical symptoms are gone, I'm still having a hard time sleeping and can't eat much of anything. It's really hard but u have to force yourself to get out of bed, and if u have to, go to the er. They won't give u narcotics butt they can give u meds for nausea etc.

why dont you just go walk into a methadone clinic? what state r u in ?

Just wanted to personally thank you.I'm kicking methadone habit myself and didnt know what id need.Ive been thru it before,but in jail so i know it feels like your gonna die...But im at that point where im ready to quit.It effects EVERY aspect of my life! Literally! But the remedies of Ginger root,vitamins,milk thistle,etc was greatly appreciated. Bananas for leg cramps...i wouldve never known,lol..But i hope your still doing well and away from "the monster" aka methadone...

I am a mom with a drug addicted son. I lost my own mother in the middle of my son's addiction. I have been  through it all with this son ,lying ,stealing , abusive behavior,etc. etc. He was sicker than hell withdrawing  from H while my mom is dying of cancer and sicker than hell taking all the pain killers that led to his misery.

Your mother knows who you are. She knew all along you had it in you to kick this problem. I am sure she wished you never had to go through this pain,as it is hard to watch your children suffer. She forgave you long ago for the problems that came from the addiction. Please do not punish yourself, forgive yourself for things not being as you wish they had been.

I miss my mom so much and I understand the longing to be able to speak to her. That was the hardest part. I will tell you now what I have discovered, you already know what she will say. She lives on in your heart and your mind. I now hear in my head exactly what my mom would say if I could talk to her. It took me a while to realize this as initially when I thought of her I was filled with sadness about how she died. Now I hear her thoughts and am filled with comfort not sadness.

You are so strong and you have done a wonderful job of taking back your life. Your mom knows and she is very very proud. Please try not to be so hard on yourself with the regrets. It is not what your mom wants. She wants you to live your life to the fullest and let go of the past.  Take care. You are a wonderful person. Your mom always knew you were,

I've been obviously feeling crappy but not like I thought or everyone said, I'm scared that its gonna keep getting worse.. havrnt had any diarea but badddd body aches fatigued and no energy... can anybody give mr any useful advice? ... please

This was very helpful to me, I feel guilty every decond of of every day for putting my parents through what I did, I am really trying to get better I am on my 4th day with no dose.. I'm giving it all I have, I'm only 22 years old and when I walked into the methadone clinic I weight 95 pounds and they put me on 220 milligrams I started weaning myself down with my take homes because they refused to wen down and told me I was not ready after 3 years of being there. I am going to cold turkey from my last dose on Saturday which was a hundred milligrams and to be completely honest I can't stop crying and I am so terrified... any help is appreciated :(

Wish I never started this stupid shiy

I have been on methadone for about 8 years but just lost my doctor.meathadone has helped me more than anything.anyway right now life is not good i cant wait to get back on methadone so i can have a normal life.The last 8 years i have never been so happy so i do not have one bad thing to say about it.To each is own and for me it works it dont take away all my pain but it helps me cope with it so i dont want to kill myself.

Hi, this is my first post.I have 23 days since I dosed last. I was on Methadone for 2 1/2 years.The highest dose was 70.I had weaned my to 4mg, Then jumped off. first few days is tolerable. Then it began; pain everywhere. It seems like symptoms of clausterphobia. Cant sit ,cant stand.
What helps-Hot bathes, hot shower with massage shower head.Sometimes I can do it 15x per day.Drink water.On the days you think you can-exercise Definitely helps.As I am sure we all know sleep disturbance is chronic.
Have I thought about running back to the clinic?Yes-but my mind is saying JUST TOUGH IT OUT!! So I do. HELP!!

Can you call me I need support to get out of same situation 3 six 0 eight 2 seven oo fifty-three
