The only good thing about detox is that you can orgasm helllllla! Where as on dope I cant even get wet, let alone orgasm. And guys usually cant orgasm. I have reached orgasm like twice ever on dope. Sex on heroin is lammme
Yeah, I've been on MMT for almost 4 years now, and they just got cheap and as of January 1, 2015 Manitoba no longer dispenses methadone powdersol'n, it's all fucking methadose 10mg/ml, and I have been stable for 2 on a steady dose, then over New Years it was like I went right back to dose adjustment. Wretched chills and sweats, and that fucking IMPOSSIBILITY TO SLEEP!! I find myself taking 200ug of clonidine, 100/150mg diphenhydramine (this was worked up due to tolerance; as if my stupid ass let myself become dependent/addicted to diphenhydramine of all things), as well as my prescribed 10mg diazepam 3x daily (usually take 20mg in the morning 10 at night to stave off anxiety), lately have been having to take alprazolam (1-2mg) for the anxiety as well and still no sleep. I've thrown 30mg temazepam in there now and then to try to get a decent nights rest, I can't decide if I "love" the insomnia, the anxiety (I can barely fucking talk to my loved ones, I've developed a stutter), and THE DAMN TREMORS!! I don't know if I'm the only one taking methadone that experiences this, but I have tremors so bad pre-dose that I have to have someone make my morning coffee, lest I drop it twice or shake all the sugar/whitener off the damn spoon between the jar and cup.My skin was super sensative while withdrawing. It felt like every part of my body was being scraped with sandpaper. I've mentioned this to fellow opiate abusers and no one gets what I'm talking about.
Also the rage I experienced. I was mad at everyone and everything. My husband would just leave the house because I would turn into the most vile human being on the face of this earth. It's 17 months later and I still crave it and get moody about not having any.
Goddamnit yes, the hypersensitivity to literally everything, and what almost tastes like sucking on a penny? I don't even know how else to describe it, but I know exactly what you mean; the best way I can describe it is being a raw nerve, no matter what I do it still loves to sneak up on me. The only other drug that did anything remotely similar to me was fentanyl, or 3MF, whatever the hell this carnie I worked with had at the given time, it was fentanyl and an analogue but that's all I really know.I remember w/ding from a very long methadone addiction, In addition to the nasty sweaty, freezing cold feelings, insomnia, headaches, feeling like doing nothing, but cannot get comfortable no matter what you try...the worst imo, was this really nasty smell, kind of a metallic, furnace kind of smell, I would smell it everywhere, all the time, it got to the point of making me want to puke, I think it was the hypersensitivity though, but Ive never really experienced this on any other drug.
Cravings... That shit will have you for a least 6 months after you quit. - Least favorite because it causes the potential for relapse.
Another one was the sleeping issue. Sleep deprivation in general will slow down recovery, because your brain needs the sleep to rebuild the damage you've done, etc... Insomnia sticks for awhile if you were heavy into your addiction.
hear hearIts easy getting off but staying off is another story.
I actually have a symptom I like for real - having sex was never as good as it was in opiate withdrawal. Every inch of the body was so sensitive.
No shit right? That's one of a couple things I do dig about it. That and hitting the laughter phase where movies and stuff became insanely funny. It doesn't last but it's fun when you get there for a little while.
Wow thought I was crazy. Been manically alternating between laughing and crying. Maybe still crazy.
