WTF is going on with me???

Not sure where to post this, so Mods feel free to move it as needed.............


I am going on my third day without opiates of any kind. I have been at this game for many years, and I have kicked many times, and in many ways, all of them hellish in their own distinct ways, but this time I am perplexed..

I last took something on Friday night. I took about 80mgs of methadone pills.. I had been using OC and H daily for some time now. And when I would go a day or two without would be sick as would be expected. Well here it is Monday afternoon, and no real withdrawal symptoms.. I got Mon-Wed. off of work thinking that the worst would be over by then, but I haven't gotten really sick yet.. I am worried that it is just taking its time showing up, and I will be in full blown WD"S Thurs. when I have to go back to work....

Has anyone else ever experience this? Am I just getting lucky here? (yeah right)

I am really fucking confused, if anyone has had this happen to them I would love to hear about it...

totally normal.

100%, it is the Methadone. It is holding you, you should start to feel withdrawal symptoms by tomorrow. They come on very slow with Methadone.

Good Luck. Maybe you ran close to outta dough and tapered?
Anyways Good Luck. Kickin my damn self.

I have a friend and he never had WD's, he does H daily, but can stop for a few day, a week, a month(s) and no withdrawing what so ever, no sickness/flu nothing. It's kinda crazy. But yea the methadone has a lot to do with helping you.

It's the methadone..give it a day or two, it'll wear off..it has a long half life and is great for keeping you well, even moreso than bupe..

and btw, your avatar freaks me out :D I didn't notice it was siamese twins at first, I thought it was two diff people, lol.

I thought it was the methadone, but in the past few months i have used it when nothing was available, and still got sick the next day or so..

I kinda figured that this was the case but I was just kinda hoping somehow i dodged the bullet..

Oh well, thats the price we pay.. I got my Doctors appt. on Friday.. I was just trying to get back to doing it when I wanted to get ripped and not have to depend on it...

Good Luck. Maybe you ran close to outta dough and tapered?
Anyways Good Luck. Kickin my damn self.

yeah I was just tired of spending so much money when my meds ran out early...

good luck yourself...

Every time you recently stop and use such a high dose so soon after, you set yourself back at least a week. Sorry to put the thought into your head but you will feel w/d symptoms after about 4-5 days and will be slight but may persist for up to 10 days.

In my case, I would be losing sleep, feel sweaty with the chills, feel a bit anxious with some nausea ... try to eat more during days 4-6 as your metabolism will speed up, as well.

Methadone just lasts so long when your tolerance has been lowered ... I'm sorry to say it but there's no way around it.

However, exercise, distractions and mental strength can minimize the fear factor.

Well going on day 5 now, still no symptoms really, maybe a few psychosomatic ones that come and go quickly.

Maybe it has something to do with me not taking a whole lot before I went CT. I had been kinda broke and was using very sporadically, with one or two days of nothing in between days of ( in my opinion) very low usage. (ie: 1 bag of dope, or like 8 mg. Diluaded, or 60 mg oxy..) So maybe this unintentional taper helped me out some...

[Ickyuck]

I'm in the same boat (sorta).... no serious WDs physically cept the usual. BUT.. my MIND is driving me nuts with crazy cravings. .

[jlaw666]

I haven't really had that bad of cravings, but I have been broke so i knew I couldn't get anything if i tried.. But, now I have some money and things are seem to be changing... Maybe its catching up to me finally or maybe i am just fucking insane.. I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow. I just hope I am not real sick when I have to work on Thurs. I work long shifts I will be going in % pm and getting off at 4 am... Hopefully I won't have to get something to get me through til I go to the doc on Friday.. I really was thinking that I had beat it..
