It may be given out like candy compared to opiates and have no intrinic value...but if you start taking it regularly alongside your opiate and then run out...well I had no idea what I would be in for. I'm on 220 mg methadone per day as maintenance - a high dose. I'm a very fast metabolizer, so my doctor put me on clonidine as a way around upping my dose even more. I ran out early and had my last dose yesterday. Well...I had a feeling I might feel just a little crappy or tired...I started feeling a bit anxious early this afternoon. Flash forward to now - full blown panic attacks and opiate withdrawal that is just as bad as it would be had I missed my entire dose of methadone. I was visiting my family and couldn't eat a bite of food, and had to be driven back early, it's that bad. It didn't help of course that I've been sleeping AND eating like shit for the past few days. But any thoughts I had about it being mostly psychological are gone now - pupils the size of my head, pouring sweat and chills. And it is unbelievably messed up to have this so severely when I just took 220 mg of methadone this morning! It feels like day 2 after IV heroin withdrawal, no joke.
Be careful with this tricky fucking combo. My dose wasn't even that high, I don't think..?? Two 0.1 mg pills twice per day. I took extra on some of those days, but not by that much.
