I came off Methadone after 7,5 years use to cope with my 13 years addiction to opiates.
Basically lots of them, including Fentanyl, and others for breakthrough pains.
It's been one of the hardest challenges I had with substances so far. Not easy..
I used to have that image that I was "sober on methadone". I had a normal life.
It took me years to realize I had to change.
All my previous experiences with withdraw lasted 5-7 days. I'm struggling with methadone as of January. Still have some nasty pains, leg cramps etc.
At this time though, it seems that my body literally ran off of endorphin and I'm really tired everyday. Sometimes all the time..
I can't just stay in bed, on top of all this craziness, I have to work, travel, deal with my kids everyday.
I'm going nuts!
