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

^ I am up for the job, seriously!

This reminds me of one time I was standing there listening to my ex boyfriends dad and ex boyfriend have some sort of heated discussion and I chimed in, and I just remember his dad looking at me like I had two heads and he said, "what, are you his lawyer?"
 
^Scagnattie's always looking for representatives...just send him a recent photo and a list of your hobbies...

Methadone 17 days, they dropped you at 4 a day(better than what a lot will do for you), you're sleeping 4-7 hours...but waking up all anxious and shitty feeling...

10 days from now, my guess is that you'll be much better...like a few others have said, you'll have some lingering symptoms, but manageable...

Once you feel like you can breath, and you're not feeling so stiff, the depression will subside..it's doable.

Day 23 today. My routine is still the same. Wake up at 3 am, smoke a bowl, pass out. Wake up at 7am, freezing and shivering, run to bathroom and smoke a bowl, try to fall asleep again, can't. Everytime i take a nap i wake up in a panic and immediately have to get up.
 
That sounds like the elevated BP of withdrawal. It sounds like your body is still withdrawing from methadone. There will be elevated norepinephrine and noradrenaline, but IT WILL PASS. Just keep pushing through, a day at a time.

Pregabalin and clonidine or gabapentin are sometimes used to calm the nervous system in withdrawals.

That's exactly how I get...anytime I even try to sleep, I come to with that horrible feeling in my chest...eyes watering, nose running..but I'm telling you as someone who's been there, you're turning the corner.
 
Huh, do you still feel withdrawal from methadone at day 22 ?

If not, disregard. If you still have some slightly more than bearable effects that prevent you from working, going to school, going about your life, a small amount of suboxone for the remaining week wouldn't make it worse when you had no more suboxone. The suboxone would make the landing even easier then you could get rid of it entirely.

Sorry, but at the very least this is very big risk with no upside to it...At worst, it's just horrible advice, no offense...
 
Don't go near any Suboxone at this stage - that would be utter madness and set you right back.

You got this. You are handling this. Just put one foot in front of the other, a day at a time. I'm battling away myself and know how hard it is. Your body is learning how to function without opiates again. At least it can do that. Some people's bodies are shot with severe health problems and will never relearn how to work properly again. To have another shot at a functional life is a gift. Keep battling.
 
Man you guys are awesome. Though, i have ZERO intention of taking any opiates at all, even if i were to be in an accident or something lol. After 23 days there's no way i'm turning back now. As long as i'm constantly high on bud, i'm decent lol. But when it's out of my system upon waking up, my body's in a panic.

Also, i've been taking .2mg clonidine upon waking up and before bed, i feel as if a patch would be 100x better.

I feel like i have another 20-30 days atleast until im feeling amazing though =/
 
^ I did a lot of opiates when I was 14-17, while my brain was developing and I'm not sure what effects occurred. I am on bupe now, just to feel normal.
 
Everybody's body takes a different amount of time to resume producing and working with endorphins again, like your body did before your opioid abuse, but the opioid negated your bodies need to produce these endorphins that make you feel "normal", so it's having to learn it all over again.

I don't think that taking opioids of any kind would be the solution to this problem induced by opioids...

I honestly never felt normal even after a year of quitting methadone...

I hate to say that though.

I did a lot of opiates when I was 14-17...

It may well have taken you longer to get proper endorphin production back. This is why young teenagers should not use opiates for extended periods unless absolutely medically necessary.
