methadone detox questions ......help??

Samantha, You sound like you have beat the worst of the battle. Not being able to sleep, the runny nose and hot flashes are far better than the worst of it, which is the abdomenal cramps, not being able to swallow spit without throwing up, the muscle spasms, being so weak that going to the bathroom is a major chore and the entire body cramping like there is never going to be an end to it all. Find a NON narcotic muscle relaxer and try that.  For the runny nose, I would find something over the counter there too. You really sound like you have won the battle. I am very happy for you and what ever you do, do not go back to the drugs. I know you know it's a dead end street and everytime you get clean and use again, the WD symptoms get worse and longer to get through. trust me, I know. I had it beat a couple times and I went back to using out of boredom (the 1st time) and then I was brutally assaulted, landing me in a deep depression that led me right back to using. If only I knew then what I know now, I would have never picked up again. Good Luck and know that you may have a few more days left of the end of your uncomfortable feelings now, but for the most part, you have it beat and you have won the war!! (try some over the counter sleep aids for sleep). I wish you the best. Please keep us all updated on your progress. And do you have a name and number for your methadone Dr? (if you are from Ohio? hopefully?) Best To You, Valerie
