Hello everyone, today is day 7 for me jumping off 20 mg of methadone after years of taking it. Like many of you bluelighters ive read some horrifying post about Methadone WDs and was kinda scared specially because i once did a suboxone 8mg jump and it kick my ass but now i understand that i wasnt prepared, not mentally OR with support meds. One huge important thing that im going to mentioned is i used to take the liquid methadone (i was at 90mg back then) and one time i had to take a trip outside the country for 26 days so my Dr gave me methadone pills to take (the 40mg and 10mg), Immediately i noticed two things. 1) the liquid hits the body faster, like you feel the effects faster BUT im my case at least it metabolizes way faster as well, as in it really didnt hold me 24 hours, maybe 20 21. 2) with the pills it hits you at exactly 2 hours after you take em, 2 hours on the dot for me it was when i felt these bastards however i noticed that they hold me way longer, over 24 hours easy, like 30.
As soon as i got back home i told my Dr to switch me permanently to the pill form (metasedin they are called here), so yeah ive been on those but i had been cutting my dose until i got to 20mg, i could have waited more time and gotten it to 10mg but i had a plan that i was going to the spend NYE clean and well with my family. So here we go:
Day 1
Meds
Clonidine .1 (about 20 pills)
Lorazepam 1 (two boxes of 25 pills)
Bromazepan 1.5 (two boxes of 30 pills)
Lyrica 100mg 100mg (two 86 pills boxes)
Enantyum (for my back pain, pills and a couple of inyectables)
Seroquel 100 (about 30 pills)
Imodium A-D and Pepto bismol
So day 1 i took my last dose last Sat at 9am, now the next day 9am, i feel nothing, I take two lyricas of 100mg, have breakfast and its all good i even got a great good night sleep. I think i took some Lorazepam, like two pills throughout but not bc i was really feeling anxious or something. anyways day 1 piece of cake, but i already assume it,
Day 2
I take my two 100mg lyrica with a lorazepam, felt kinda tired but at this time im like this is nothing when is this bastard hitting me? Again i went to sleep with no seroquel, took some bromazepan and lyrica to sleep.
Day 3
Wow, holy crap, i had a horrible night with fever, like the air conditioning was on and i was sweating bullets for real, i had to changed PJs (like t shirts and shorts) 4 times, cause i was sweating so bad, bad fever, i went to have lunch with a hoodie on (im in the Caribbean right now, took 24 days off work plus i can remote work until next year)
anyways today i started with the clonidine took 1 every 5 hours, two lyricas, and i felt like shit the whole day, very heavy feet. bone ache, specially my back, a bit of stomach ache but i didnt take nothing for it, it was a bad bad day though, fuck me sideways, i couldnt wait for that day to be over. I took two seroquels to sleep.....woke up at 2am and couldnt sleep again until 7am for 2 hours.
Day 4
Extremely tired, again the sweat made me change PJs twice again at night but it wasnt because of a fever, i was just sweating this demon drug, you know what it is. My feet feel that im dragging two boat anchors, holy crap. I feel kinda icky but take my clonidine, 3 lyricas one benzo and feel better almost immediately except for my damn boat anchors feet. Very chill day, every 5 hours clonidine and lyricas, i even ate pretty good that day. But at night I took idk why, probably because i wanted a good night sleep since today was going to be my third day of not sleeping , 3 seroquel and 3 lorazepam 3 lyricas, and ohhh boy did i get retarded mode, the damn pills didnt make me sleep at all they just gave me tremendous munchies and that trip to the get to the kitchen? In my mind i thought i was aboard Doc's DeLorean from Back to the Future going 87 miles, in reality i was baby crawling, thinking "wait, im still in my room"....and then "what, im in family room" and "now this fuc#$%^ living room" "wait why am i in the elevator hall?"Anyways my moms waits until i wake up (prob at 730, i got 3 hours of sleep maybe) and shows me the kitchen, it looked like 3 problems child and a Tasmanian devil had a food fight, there bowls of cereals (many kinds) bowls of soup, spaghettis (im like spaghettis, wtf, how was i able to do that)
Day 5
Very chilled day, except for the diarrhea i had throughout the day that said screw you to the immo and pepto, but the day went well, took my meds (Clonidine lyrica these bitches are doing their job), ate well, drinking my fruit juices, maybe a lil ants in my arms feeling but nothing serious, tired cant lie, felt tired BUT not was tired as before hmmm, spend the day reading, watching movies or tv shows. Again trouble sleeping (just took 1 seroquel, didnt want to do another episode of the twilight zone)
Day 6
Felt less tired than the day before, there was a moment in the day were i felt a bit anxious but took my lorazepam, sleep 3 hours in the afternoon and woke up feeling great, a bit a RLS but nothing serious, again meds are working and also (i havent even touched on this) before doing this i was MENTALLY prepared, for whatever this S.o.b. was doing to throw at me, i didnt care if the meds didnt work and i was going to be the Exorcist for a month (climbing walls, head spinning puking, ive been there before, 15+ years IV heroin user, same story as all u beautiful creatures
so thats important to point out, i came to do this and so far so good.
Day 7
Today is 4:30am sleeping was ok, i think from 12AM to now, and i feel fine, havent take any meds and i decided to visit an old friend of a site, bluelight forum, a site that has help me and its great to see its rule now, cause let me back when this shit opened it was almost like the silk road.....almost
Anyways if you have any questions about me or the WD process (dont let those nightmare stories scare you if you truly feel mentally prepared (very important) and feel like this "medicine" not adding anything in your life but subtracting from it, then do a plan but for real, you know how we are procrastination masters. For me it was definitely - from my life, the colors, the emotions, the tastes, my god my libido, my girlfriend ask me the other day "you know how many times we have fucked this year?" "idk, how many" she goes "six times Funghi,,,,six times this year, i wrote it down" im like "first of all you wrote it down? you weirdo, who tf writes that shit down second 6 times? ok....how about the times we made sweeeeeet love" 0 of course, so yeah it has taken my sex life to single digits numbers, and not to brag but im the kinda the dude that if you see me you go "that guy fucks" (i used to surf and model waaaay back in the day....i still surf though) anyways i felt that i was time i left my opiate life behind me. And i have done after my heroin IV days, years of suboxone (i can tell you how that kick went, ugh) about 12 rehab centers (ranging from 3 months to escaping in 3 days) 2 Iboga treatments, 10+detox , so yeah pretty much like eveeeeeeerybody else in this place.
anyways much love, take care and peace,
Funghi out.
