I Was On Methadone For 16 Months Then Tried Detoxing
UpdatedHello, okay long story short.. I was taking heroin for about 6 years then got pregnant and was put on methadone in jail. I later continued methadone at a rehab facility for a year and remained on methadone for about 16 months. Then, I started decreasing on my methadone from my max dose when I was pregnant at 80 milligrams and got down to 55 milligrams on a taper. Then, the clinic told me that I could no longer go down 10 milligrams and that my taper would have to be five milligrams a month. I got frustrated and realized that I was going to be on methadone for another year, hated it and then had the bright idea to try to detox myself by taking heroin for the last 3 weeks to a month and now I am eight days into withdrawal doing it completely cold turkey with only kratom and ibuprofen pm. Can you please tell me or give me an idea of how long these withdrawal symptoms are going to last? I have everything from the sneezing, RLS muscle aches, pain, hot and cold sweats, the chills, nausea, all of the above. But I am doing it at my amazing mother's house and I have a beautiful healthy 16 month old son named Ryder that gives me the strength to keep going ...can you please suggest anything that would help? I want to LIVE MY LIFE ..IM DOING IT FOR ME, cus if i don't do it for me i cant do it for my son...thx
