I go to a methadone clinic in Dallas and I'm on a weekly schedule. Double dosed twice so now I'm at the end of my week but on day 2 without methadone. Any suggestions? Anything I can take to help calm my nerves?

Clonidine is the best thing for cold sweats, and benzos help with anxiety. Loperamide (Immodium) is also very helpful for physical WD symptoms (of all opiates/opioids, not just methadone).

Clonidine is prescribed? Anything thats over the counter that will do similar things? I don't have access to benzos or clonidine.
 
Loperamide is your best bet then. I would look into some sedating anti-histamines (doxylamine is a good one) that are OTC as well to help you sleep. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is helpful for some people but for others it causes certain symptoms (namely RLS) to be worse.

I recommend checking out valerian root. It is OTC in the U.S.
 
Loperamide if your trying to detox, if detox is not your goal than obviously oxy/dope will work.
 
Lol I survived. I'm down to 30mg and is been 5 days since my last dose. I've been having withdrawals like crazy but not as bad as it was when I was on 100mg.

Immodium is working! Tried it today and it's a godsend.
 
Methadone withdrawal is a bitch! Took me 3 and a half weeks to turkey. Well I'd say some loperamide and benzodiazepines like valium would be your best bet. But personally get some benzodiazepines as theyl help get you some sleep and IMO help with mental zaps. Also stop you from having a possible seizure witch happened in my case anyway..
