Opioids 17 Days free of Methadone (How long to feel normal?)

Dont give up, most people cannot get past the first 5-7 days, the worse is over!

I was on 205mg/day methadone, plus my 6 days carries I would double/triple dose and I came down from 205mg to 15mg (gradually) and jumped off completely at 10mg, with only benzos and codeine pills to help.

I will say this, methadone like THC is fat soluable therefore it takes a LONG TIME, months perhaps 2 months to get past the discomfort and 2 more months for the dreams and psychological torture/cravings to leave. Within 1 year or so endorphin levels will return to normal to the point a 5mg percocet will have you fucked like the first time.

Its a long jurney but I salute you for doing this good.

p.s. I learned over the years that the best and 100% natural alternative for Immodium/loperamide is Poppy Seeds ingested by the tablespoon for gastrointestinal discomfort and diareeah. Its much more effective and a lot safer to eat 3-4 tablespoons of poppie seeds than any amount of loperamide and it doesn't matter if the seeds are washed or not b/c the logic in this is that the seeds absorb a lot of water that causes diareah but too many and you get very constipated!
 
Hey there mate , i am in the same situation as you are.
Day 14 here of WD from methadone ( 110 mg/d for about 3.5 years ) and it sucks , i don't feel any better , i can't sleep at all ( tried with xanax , weed , melatonin everything ) it's just killing me.I don't know what more to try , i don't have medical insurance , i can't get Kratom here in my country ( tried to order 2 times and every time the package was confiscated ) or any mild opiate / benzo from the pharmacy .
I am thinking on going back to heroin for 1-2 weeks and then get WD from it for 6-10 days , i know it's not that good of a option but after 4 days without one single second of sleep it's the only option i can think .
I can take the pains i have but the lack of sleep is the worse , day by day i feel weaker and more and more depressed!
Anyway , good job OP and i am glad that you are already feeling better , wish you the best.
PS: sorry for my english , it's not my native language.
 
I hear you have 2 more weeks. If I was you i'd switch to a TEMPORARY suboxone induction and then stop that too. Do not go long term with suboxone like too many of us made the error of doing. It doesn't get you high (sometimes it does but barely, very strange substance), it makes you totally normal. With methadone you know you are on something. So suboxone is even more insidious in it's shackling of your brain and soul, why should I stop if I finally feel normal? I hear taking it for a month after stopping methadone is the way to go anyways. Maybe even just a week at 2mg and then 1m, then 0,5mg etc.

No, one dose wouldn't restart your withdrawals but.. it's still probably not a good idea to risk taking another opiate that long after being off methadone. If you've already made it 22 days.. keep going. That's when it will start to get easier.
 
Thanks man, i strongly feel like any opiate is an opiate and would F* me over upon using just one time, so i havent used anything, not even the immodium out of fear it will prolong withdrawal haha.
 
i just did my last 2 bags 15 minutes ago my tolerance is 20 bags a day .. all i have is 4 10 mg methadone pills is it too early to take them i want to feel a nice buzz not gunna lie but i don't want to go into w/d

I've never taken methadone before btw
 
how many do u suggest is a nice amount to ingest? and can i mix with klonopin?
 
^^

No. Do not mix with benzos. That is very dangerous. But honestly, if you're habit is 2 buns a day of dope... 40mg's of methadone isn't gonna do shit for you. It'll keep you out of withdrawal but you're not going to get high on it at all. That's way too low of a dose for a habit that size.
 
i just want to keep out of w/d's bc I'm snowed in . thanks so at least if i take 3 (saving one for tomorrow to be safe) i won't be in w/d? and I'm planning to stop i have a script of subutex how many hours after the 'done do i wait to take the sub? greatly appreciated and that is my last worry
 
^^

Yeah it should keep you out of withdrawals, yes. You might still feel slightly uncomfortable because that really isn't that much methadone for a habit that size, but it'll be lightyears better than cold turkey.
 
ceekay, 40mg of methadone should probably take away withdrawals for 24-72 hours, though with 20 bags a day im guessing probably only 24-48...

Suboxone/Subutex you need to be in WITHDRAWAL when you take it or you'll experience SEVERELY worse withdrawals for a few hours.

Some people have taken sub 7 days after methadone and still have gotten precipitated w/d's.... Just wait until you can't take it anymore

I don't want to answer for him... but... I'm gonna :)

He meant that the methadone for a habit that size is not gonna like, get him super high or anything, and he may still feel a tad uncomfy.. but its lightyears away from if he did it cold turkey. Light years away meaning that it will be way better than if he went cold turkey
