I have currently been on a methadone treatment program for almost 18 months now. I was a pretty bad heroin addict for several years previous. I have been clean for 18 months July 4. I have worked my way down from 80 mL to about 21 mL now. This is the worst part. I wake up every morning with cold sweats, accompanied by sneezing/other withdrawal symptoms. But the past week, I have a pretty steady cold sweat going on that comes and goes in waves. And I'm starting to really have to watch my physical activity. I've had sex twice today and I am already having restless legs and cold sweats.
I really really don't want to have to do so much watching on my physical activity. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips/advice on how they finished off the end of their methadone treatment, or even just anything to help ease the anxiety/discomfort. I am totally willing to suffer a bit. just not quite like this. Like, has anyone tried Suboxone for Methadone detox? I have 2, maybe 3 subs somewhere that I can *maybe* find, but if that won't be enough then I'm not even going to waste them.
I am a 21 year old female, 115 lbs, 5'6'', and have a fairly fast metabolism. I am also looking into using Syclovir. I used it one of the times I got clean for heroin detox and it was FUCKING AMAZING. The worst I felt was a bad head-cold, and some uneasiness sleeping - but I could still sleep. However, because of the longer half-life with Methadone I am just worried that it may react a little bit differently.
Anyways, sorry if I rambled a bit just wanted to get in as much info as needed. PLEASE let me know if anyone has any advice, I really don't want my sex life to suffer from this!
Thanks much,
