I am 5-6 days into cold turkey withdrawal from 20mg methadone taken daily for a month. This was purely recreational; I have used opiates 3-5x a month for the past year and had always managed to avoid withdrawal, until now.

Anyway, I am utterly exhausted as I work 29/30 days a month and have gotten very little sleep during w/d. I am curious if taking 5-10mg hydrocodone tonight to help me sleep will throw me back into day 1 of withdrawal or if it'd be relatively harmless. I need to get through a 16 hr day tomorrow before a day off Monday and could really use just one night of rest, but not if its gonna cost me bc I don't think I could go through the past week again while maintaining a rigorous work schedule.
