I am on the 6th day of being totally off methodone. I was not cocky enough to do it cold turkey though. I had been on a daily methodone dose of 195 mg at the highest for a couple of years and then lowered the dose over a period of about a year down to 20mg. Then I got fed up with the rules, the jerky counselor at the clinic, and the expense and did a rapid detox from 20mg down to 1 mg last Thursday. Now, although I have done the detox pretty carefully, I am feeling worse, not better. I have NO intention of ever getting back on pain pills (a 12 year addiction) but feeling like this really SUCKS! How long will it last? I do NOT want to take ANY medications so what are some of the other things I can do? You are all the experts, can you tell me?
