Sup everyone. 23/m. This is probably the first- or one of very few graphs/diaries of documented methadone withdrawal you'll find. I've searched hours and hours on how long it would take, using many different search phrases and realised VERY, VERY few people make it through the withdrawals.
(UPDATE) So far, i've made it 49 days, with only one use of dope. So read on, and good luck everyone.
Just looking to hear about how long it took other people to feel normal after stopping methadone. I've done hours of research but it's surprisingly hard to find many answers, but most have said 2-12 months. Hoping to hear about people who felt great after a month.
I'm on day 49 of no Methadone. Went from 30mg, to 40, down to 10, then to 30, relapsed, then raised and capped at 75mg for a couple months until I was told because of my past dirty UA's at the clinic I would either face paying $22/day, or go to outpatient treatment 3 nights a week for 3 hours a night. F* that I said. Was already driving to the clinic 530am mon-sat before work. I was enraged because I got myself clean a month before being told this. So I said F* you, put me on their taper, which was -4mg/day. Didn't feel the slightest discomfort until the morning of no done.
Days 1-2 - not that bad.
Days 3-14 - F*ing sucked. All the normal w/d symptoms, though not near as bad as Heroin, but still miserable nonetheless. Lessening of fatigue only noticeable change throughout the days.
Days 15-16 - slight improvement in all symptoms.
Day 17 - slight improvement I suppose, but still sucks a**. Sleeping has sucked every night (1-17). Waking constantly in a panic. 4-7 hours of sleep/night.
Day 27 - gradual improvement, stomache discomfort better, but slightly annoying still. Hunger and energy are returning! Sleep has improved a little, but I still wake up at 7am unable to sleep longer. Still have to smoke weed right upon waking to feel decent and curb the insane chills. Hormones are returning, happier, laughing more, anxiety is improving, taking showers now rather than bathes because i have the energy to stand, and happiness is returning. Still though, it sucks when the weed wears off.
Day 38 - overnight the withdrawawls lessened by about %15. Relief. I was losing hope.
Day 40 - finally woke up in the morning without an extreme flood of adrenaline forcing me up and out of bed, but still haven't slept past 7am. I still don't get how i managed to once sleep in til 9am one morning between weeks 1 and 2... Oh well..
:: NOTE :: Graph is only up to date as far as day 44, i estimated the remainder.
FYI new-comers to this thread, I literally could NOT have made it this far without 2-3 Hot baths/showers per day, and LOTS of pot. Clonidine seemed to help me sleep and calmed the restless legs and goose feeling slightly, but don't expect too much. Weed is the ONLY thing that drastically helps withdrawals. Day by day... Hang in there

, . Eventually after around 2 months I got on Suboxone, I guess for the first time the doc realized this has been hardly a game for me for a long time now as I can remember how he refused to take me on methadone numerous times. Anyway, now I'm glad that he helped me with taking me on Suboxone and helping me get off clonazepam.
