1week Off The Clinic & At My Breaking Point

Updated

I am 33 and have been on the clinic for 2 years & a daily oxy user for 3 years prior. My highest dose was 120mg I started tapering 6 months ago and was down to 40mg and felt fine..... Then I lost my job & had to do a financial detox.... 40-0 in 10 days. Symptoms were not too bad till the last dose day. The last week has been hell no sleep, burning diarrhea, RLS, skin crawling ect...... I went to the ER they gave me a clonidine patch & sent me home. Haven't noticed a difference at all. I've tried taking valuim & sleep aids but fear I'll be hooked on them, at best I'll sleep for an hour & wake up in a pool of sweat...What can I do? Please tell me how long this will last? I feel like I'll go back to the clinic once I have the money or go scam an ER doc with a fake kidney stone for a dilauded shot & a few measly Oxus that may last a day. I need some help!!

Methadone is notoriously hard to detox from, that's why many people end up on a lifetime maintenance dose of it and never really get completely drug free.

Thus, there is no way to say with any certainty how long your symptoms will last, it can vary from person to person and atom people never entirely stop craving it.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

And you cannot scam the ER, they would do a scan for a kidney stone to check, they don't just throw medications at people, anymore.

How are you doing, now? Have things gotten any better?

Today I was hired as an exec chef at a large complex and I think it's just endorphins but I feel somewhat normal, I don't want to go back to the clinic but may have to because this job will be very demanding, see how it goes!!
