Opioids cold turkey methadone.

[therevstan]

hi, i just stopped taking methadone. i stopped cold turkey, and got a clonadine patch... i think .3mg for a week. anyway, it helped a TON. then i drank a bit to deal with the other issues of withdrawal. but now....stone sober but pot and alc.. and the occasional xanax. (.25-.5mg) but anyway... why am i farting so much and having digestive and bowel problems.
i used to shoot up like 24-48mg hydromorphone a day and my methadone dose was at max 122mg.
anyone got a remedy or help for it. seriously its like... 2-4 farts an hour no matter what i eat. did the methadone and opioids and alc kill my digestive tract?

im guessing the alc killed my good bacteria and the gas is part of gaining the bacteria back but i dunno. i can figure out serotonin vs dopamine action more than i can figure out this shit. what up guys?

opiate withdrawal oftentimes includes diarrhea and/or problems with one's bowels

there is over the counter medicine which might be able to help. have you heard of loperamide?

Ho-Chi-Minh's right..immodium/loperamide could help.

when i c/t methadone my belly was
messed up for at least 6 or 7 months.
i remember standing outside..
smoking a cigarette with a guy i was friends
with out front of my house..
and passing out 3x within 5 min. because
it had been so long since i'd eaten anything.
seriously..if the only stomach issue you're having
is a little gas..be thankful.
it could be much, much worse.

im VERY happy with how "easy" it was. it wasnt exactly easy, but when you have a girl with a kid who wants you to stop anyway, its a great reason to follow through. i went c/t with other opiates before but...you know the needle still came back, but this time i was set on sayin fuck you. loperamide has helped a little...but still major gas.
