It can be done without medical supervision. I just came off of 120mg daily abruptly. I spent about 3-4 days sedated and watched by my fiance, but after that I dealt with the pain and anxiety by meditating and exercising.
Physical work helps. If you are in pain, remember that it isn't real and you can get past this shit. Methadone is bad. It kept me a slave for a long time, and wasted a lot of my life.
I feel like a new person - over 2 weeks without an opiate in my system. I still have long term WD's (irritable skin, restlessness, unnecessary soreness after work etc etc. ) but it's nothing that isn't manageable with showers, lotion, stretching, and meditation.
Your mind is the most important component in controlling your body. Remember your addiction is in your mind, and the physical dependence CAN be broken at any time.
I am not necessarily recommending cold turkey methadone withdrawal to people, because it is very rough, but I am saying that it can be done and I am living proof of this.
If you have any questions on what I did and what I'm doing to stay clean please contact me. I'm here to HELP. Anyone anytime.
