methadone withdrawals

[hotmetal]

My doctor switched me from 40 mg of methadone a day after 4.5 years to 40 mg of oxymorphone. She said they would be no withdraw,I now know this isn't true. I'm a weld tech that works with robotics and I'm in bad shape. I've been off methadone cold turkey and on oxymorphone about 9 days.Is the worst behind me

Hi, Welcome to Bluelight ! !

Why did your doctor switch you from methadone to oxymorphone? Odd to me. Indeed there will be a withdrawal. Did he/she do a taper plan with you? How are you doing now? Do you mind if I move your post to another forum. Here is The Opioid Withdrawal Megathread and FAQ for starters.

I am off opiates myself. It's not easy but it IS possible, but you indeed need some help to ease the process. Thanks for making an introduction.

some docs are fkin clueless regarding tolerances and cross tolerance and such.

How you 'do' this medication is crucial. Orally unfortunately will not provide any relief..at least not for me. Idk the correct term but nasal offers best results. Good luck and I truly hope you can get some relief!
