Hi, I've been on methadone for 2 years (10-30mgs/day) but have been off now for 8 days. This was not by choice, it came at the worst time because I am on vacation and I ran out. It has been terrible because I have 3 kids and were going to disneyland. We've already gone 2 days but still have another 3 ahead but I don't know if I can do it because of the lack of energy and weakness that I am feeling. So basically I wanted to know how you all have gotten by. I've tried energy drinks and pills but nothing seems to make me feel "normal". I've read about st. Johns wort but am very skeptical. Any advice or if anybody knows if I can go to the er and get suboxone (being from out of state that is the only place I can go).

L-Tyrosine may help. 1500mg-2000mg but start as low as you want. This stuff wont kil you.
Im on day 10 of detox from 5 years of methadone. Dropped off cold turkey from 41mg. People do go through this all the time, especially in prison where you are left with no choice. I cross off a day on the calendar every time 24 hours passes since my last dose since every day feels like one when you are having sleeping issues. Though unlike most, I would rank the severity of methadone withdrawal much below heroin. You need to give it a good 2 weeks and you should be making some good progress.
