I was in a clinic for 5 years. I suddenly lost my income and could not taper down. I dropped off directly after my final dose on 3/17. I went into a rehab, the put me on 10mg Librium. But after 5 days they wanted me to go cold turkey and spend all day running from chores to classes, etc......They are insane and clearly have no knowledge of methadone withdrawal.

I left on the 24th and went to my moms house. I have enough Klonopin for a few days, maybe 2 days worth of oxy and hydro, and plenty of tramedol, My questions are will taking any of them prolong the methadone withdrawal, and if not how long should I take them to avoid dependence on any of them.

TIA

2 days worth...you're like that fat dude saying he slimmed down 2 belt holes...nice unit bro. How many mg in total you have?
 
Did you cold turkey the 130mg a day?
I cold turkeyed 120mg of 'done a day back in '05 and only lasted 10 days and ended up on bupe.. i even had klonopin, clonidine, baclofen and hydroxyzine to help ease the wds and it didn't work. It was rough but NO where near as rough as the bupe wds after being on it for only 2.5 years.. no matter what you're gonna have to deal with wds IMO/IME.
You can put them off as long as you want, and with luck with shorter acting opiates and tapering them you may be able to reduce the severity of them but there is always some shit to deal with at the end.
 
A hand full of 5's each. I been on a benzo every 6 hours and it hasn't been nearly as bad as it should be. It is nothing compared to my first time in 2010. I lost 60 lbs in 2 months then. Without the meds I would be in a world of pain. With them I am at like 60%.
