cold turkey from 220mg methadone habit advice

You've got everything you need, expect maybe some recovery support to help you through it. But seriously I came of cold turkey at 200mgs and it broke me down to the core, I wasn't the same person for 5 months. And watch those fucking benzos, they withdrawl can bite you harder than the meth.

Anyways, best of luck man. My prayers are with you.

well i think w/ds wont even come into play till aftyer a week if you have been doing it more than month....

and yea the worst wont even start for a couple weeks probably ,so you will waste most of your coping stash before then

taper down to somthin reasonable,or force short acting opiates in yer brain ,like i did

here is A very good OTC withdrawal guide, its the best out of the dozens ive seen, it has everything. Considering the meds you already have I would pick up some L-Tyrosine, 5HTP and
D-Phenylalanine, these will help the mind, for the leg pains use Fish Oil-OMEGA 3 and Hyland's Leg Cramps also heating pads work well too. You can find most of those at GNC and walmart

I also agree with the tapering route, but more power to ya either way...

I'm thinking w/d symptoms would last 4-6 weeks with your current efforts, but not 100% sure.

good luck man
 
He posted on another forum. He said he was fine and was thinking about taking a lortab to see if he'd feel it...

You're on day 8...Maybe you shouldn't take those Suboxones... Buprenorphine is just another very strong Opioid, it will get you high, and maybe get you addicted again...
 
LIKE I SAID THE WORST WONT START FOR A WHILE.....if this stuff is built up in your system ,your runing on reserves right now im guising ,cause if sleeplessness hasnt hit you yt than you havent even started to withdraw

keep the suboxone..yer gonna need em
 
xanax is how i get good sleep.. i just have a lil discomfort in my leg muscles, back, and neck. iam at day 9 and just one suboxone got rid of the muscle and mental discomfort i shall just use in very responsibly .i think this will work justr perfect i only gotr 29 of them left. today has been A VERY TOLERABLE DAY
 
Unfortunately in N. America most states allow a clinic to cut you off as is. Florida for example I know allowed it when I was in that state. The paticular clinic I went to in Tampa, a paying clinic would allow one day of credit , as long as it was not a Monday for some reason, and there after needed to pay your tab. If you could not pay what was then 9 dollars a day [now more] than you would not get dosed. People used to cry in the paqrking lot and beg others who were going in and it was an ordeal just to go past those people because as they say in English, " There but for the grace..."

Now, I am in Israel and believe I am leaving here on July 3rd to go to nation where there is no Opioid Substitution Therapy whatsoever, as well as an almost complete absence of all illicit sedatives [not to mention a death penalty for possesion of relatively small amounts, brining methadone there without a certificate of import would get me killed with just 7 "take homes" of liquid].

I am on 160 and had hoped to be able to bring bottles with me to taper off but I am having trouble with the documentation on that end and cannnot delay my leaving any longer [save another war here which is predicted for this summer, etc]. I too will be going the rough route so take heart [although by now the author must be physically fine]. This is the nature of our love affair [as with all loves].
 
day 11 doing so good. got bude and hit yup my 3 days yesterday for my benzo's. suboxone works wonders. i toook a 60 mg morphine pill brand name had a A in the name. wasnt mscontin the kinds with beede capsules but doesnt bup block your receptors like methadone does? ii hurt mote pysically than anything elese for i have pins in vertebrates and they just ache. almost down with it
 
dude i have no advice but if you can beat a 220 mg. methadone habit coldturkey even with benzos you can do any damn thing you set your mind to in life cause i know that beating a methadone habit like that can be near impossible, i wish you the best luck and i will pray for you
 
sorry for the non helpful response here, but how the HELL did you get the kind of connection to support that amount of mgs habit?

Wow, man that's all I can say...wow.

That's one hell of a rapid detox.

From the cases I've seen (and experienced), Hydro Chronic is pretty much right (although, as always, everyone's a different case). As I started, usually with a dose like that, going straight to cold turkey is tantamount to torture.
Most patients I've seen don't get hit super hard until about day 7 or 8. You must be a very strong person. Then to be fully in the clear would usually take about a month/month & a half...and then you're just beginning to feel semi-ok.

Of course, IMHO, once seriously addicted to pure opiate/oid agonists, the phychological symptoms (PAWS) never really go away...they just get a little easier to bear (very, very slowly). In all reality you might not feel truly better for the good course of half a year or so (as always: YMMV).
I wish I had more time to talk with y'all, because I have soo much more to share, but I'm being paged by the ER (what's new).

But there is a lot of good advice in the replies that I've read so far...at least you had some benzos (and I'd have to second the clonidine and Soma).
I think the Suboxone REALLY saved your ass, though.

And, ahh yes Rachamim (listen to this man, as he is a wise sage of the "Yin/Yang" that is the natural human love that we have evolved for endorphins/opiates/oids)...It sounds like you might be headed to Singapore, Rachamim...
Well, I've gotta fly but I'll be back (shoot me a PM Rachamim, I might have some ideas for you- and of course anyone else that would like to discuss this topic- feel free to shoot me a PM as well.

Bye4now...be back soon...keep up the good work...it can only get better from here.

p.s. And y'all better listen to Sonic...he didn't become a mod of OD for nothing...plus he let you off quite easy ;)
Sonic has done a LOT of hard work helping to bring OD back into line, and he should be highly commended for it (tips hat to Sonic)...back to the grind I go...
