Cold Turkey Withdraw Methadone
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I am on 7 of going cold turkey after being on 55mg for 3 years. This is the worst thing I have ever been through and to make things worse I'm going through a break up.. My body hurts, stomach kills, can't eat, can't sleep, constantly feel anxious and nervous. Craving a fix bad. Depression has kicked in big time. ??. How much longer will this physical and mental torture last.

Honey try to find a another clinic that you can get into. You can actually go into cardiac arrest. I want off of it and I ended up right back using again and now I'm back in the methadone clinic and if I want to go off of it then I would do it by five milligrams a week. I would never ever even attempt just stopping.

Hello, Kirsty! How are you feeling? Has there been any improvement, yet?

It may take a month, or so, before you really start to feel better. Methadone is well known for causing horrible withdrawals, that's why some people never get off of it and end up on a lifetime maintenance dose.

As reported by the FDA, other withdrawal effects may include rebound pain, diarrhea and fever.
