View Full Version : Withdrawls get worst and dif. symptoms with time:
I've noticed I've gotten different symptoms with time. And the withdrawals have become so unbarable that I can't even leave the house. I haven't done anything (methadone or ocs) since sunday and from sunday night until now, I have been sweating so much, freezing cold even with layered blankets over me and unable to walk straight and see clear. But when I first started doing ocs I noticed more of hot flashes and stomach pain, and now (3/4 years later) it's more of sweating tons and being freezing cold (worst part) and then really bad back and body pain. It also helps that I'm off of xanax right now. =( I really get bad withdrawls now due to the fact that school is keeping me from working. And I really can't take this anymore. It just keeps going on and on and gets worse everyday, but does anyone know a rough timing for how long methadone withdrawals/oc withdrawls last for?

Look, in the same boat as my last dose of OC was Monday morning. It was bad for a while but started researching about how to get through it easier and ended up getting some Loperamide (active ingredient in Imodium sold OTC). This will help some with w/ds, no euphoria but takes away the gut wrenching pains and will make you feel a little better. For the chills ,maybe drink some coffee or stay covered with a thick blanket, not a lot you can do there as far as I know besides drinking some hot beverage. I don't know your tolerance but I took about 12 pills (recommended dose is 2) but a low dose will not help. Also I was told earlier to get the liquid next time since it reacts quicker...Hey don't expect a lot from it but it definitely helped me some and is well worth getting it...Hope this helps...
Also its almost 5am and I'm still awake and I took 6mg xanax to sleep and have a job interview in the morning. I'm sure it will be fun with no sleep, but (and sorry if this downs you out) I got 10 OC 80s waiting for me in the morning,,only a few hours left of pain for me...Hope you get better though seriously...

Methadone withdrawals ain't gonna peak for 7 days or so (more if you were on a high regular clinic type dose which you're not, right?). Since you're doing both it really ought to be leveling off by now since its been about 5 days. You really don't wanna be fuckin with the done unless you got a constant supply though. I do it inbetween times without H but I generally have access so that I don't have to deal with those wd's. Who the fuck knows maybe I oughtta just go on subs (you too)??? Seems like people are able to keep straight and party here and there but then again I've heard they just don't work for some either.
Oh, and by the way, trust me wd's just get worse with time, 34 now, been a junkie or on the clinic or both for more than 15 years and every kick over the time just seems to get more and more unbearable. Probably not what you wanna hear, but definitely true. And tolerance seems to go up so much faster and quicker too. Also hard to answer how long the done part will last without knowing how much you've been taken of that and OC for how long and how regularly...

Apologises if i'm buttin in, for the chills etc, hot baths helped me.Helps stabilise your body temp and stay in the bath for as long as you can. One thing though, i would stay away from the booze! It may knock you out for an hour or two, but will space you out even more. I always look at WD's a like a clock, the more iv'e gone past noon the more sufferin it will take to put the clock back to "normal". I too am on the juice, have to buy it on the street here in spain. As i'm well out of any system. Good luck...I know what yor goin through.

you're right Robo. One would think that over time the WD's get easier to deal with just because you are so used to them, but i find the complete opposite-- they get worse.
You're right wds don't get easier-they get worse and done wd is very bad,but it's doable.
Much respect to you Love and I hope it passes quickly.

True, but I hadn't forgotten,she's suffering enough and people are sadly awake when they're in pain.
I will say this,Love there will be a lot more of this pain and a lot of other kinds of pain,if you don't wake up.
Good luck Love.

Like mentioned above the Immodium helps greatly I took 10 at a time plus I had some trams so the combo made the WD's bearable..Good Luck ,,I hate the chills and the sweats,,also get the shits as well
yeah i hear ya, Nick. I meant it in good fun.

I'm bad/conficted.I saw my rxing doc on Tuesday and she wrote my a script for injectable M,but I haven't cashed it yet.I just look at the script(like an idiot) I can't believe I'm going back to the grind-it hurts.
Still,I'm going to try and stabilise and kick again-I'm NOT giving up,but I can't afford to be drinking and falling to pieces now.
Sorry bro,but you asked.
Oh and watch the C.That stuff WILL fuck you up.

Nah no need to apologize. i really do hope shit gets better for you Nick. You're a good man. and don't need this shit. Regarding the script, follow your heart; no one would think any less of you for filling it. Shit, you did things many of us only FATHOM (regarding the CT and all that) so I think u deserve a little happiness from time to time.
And the drinking is NOT good for you, and you are quite right about the C and me. It wasa bender, cause today I am not gonna fuck with it--> I don't need another monkey, ya know?
but pls do take care, and we got your back, so know that.
later Nick

dude methadone w/d's can last for like 2 and 3 weeks of physical hell. but if u can make it you will be able to conquer anything in life...
You do know that beating an opiate addiction can actually make u stronger. i went into opies knowing i would have to face the worst pain in my life.. now i feel no pain ever, rewire ur brain man... When i detoxed i would just think to myself that my head was a separated from my body and was a seperate entity that was detached from my body and the w/ds are easy.... i dont know what im talkin about, im insane... or was i just on...special K? noo... i was not...
look at ur pupils when detoxing lol and they will be bigger then if u took 3 hits of acid, and 2 mdma pills!
everyone will think ur on something when ur not...ur pupils wanna just be small again@!
gonna go pick up the orange stones today...shall i fade?
Nick, sory mate i,m comin out wiv my sth london shit and yur between a rock and a hard place. I'm still navigatin the site and didnt really catch on too lively. I hope you do whats right for yourself.... Best wishes...Raz

One time i had a forced wd upon me after a 5yr stretch of chasin and drinkin the juice, man the worse experience of my life. I stupidly decided to drink brandy to knock myself out. Man i wound upon another planet. My pupils had no colour, just black sockets of strung out doom. My missus hid my passport as she knew if i had it i would've been on the first plane out of there. when i eventually came down off planet doom i went in search of and of course i found it , in a strange land without speakin the lingo..It is amazin what your motivation is when tryin to score!!

No, I don't drink tea (and my ukranian ex boyfriend thought I was crazy for not liking tea, I guess it's a European thing?.). That was one horrible experience. I got some methadone later that day and some today, so I'm better now. But I may start switching back and forth with the ocs and such and keeping the ocs dose very low, I don't want to feel like that again.

:( are you serious, 2 to 3 weeks?! That's like having a very long flu almost. Yeah I know my pupils get so big when I w/d, my mom asked me before if I was on something because of the size of them and I flipped out, like "No I'm not on anything!". GOSH that is so true. I was also like if I was they would be small! (I should not have said that though, because now she knows what to look for, it's surprising how a lot of people don't know about the small pupil thing ;) .)

I rarely do oxys anymore. But heres my problem. I can't go to rehab/done clinic because my parents can't find out about this, theres no need to drag them into my problems and ruin my life. If I get too sick, I'll switch back to ocs and w/d off of them, because I have before and have been successful with it. But I know methadone is serious and I'm careful how I take it.

that's not a bad plan love as long as you can keep a supply of oc's for emergency and not take them. i have a fat backup sack of pods that are for reserve emergency use only. but who fucking knows i could gobble them up tomorrow and be fucked when the real w/d need comes.

Yeah, well that's why I usually just wait until I need them and then call someone.

in all honesty if you don't want your folks to know about what you're up to you could try subutex/suboxone (of course, it's expensive) if you wanna give up the roller coaster ride that opiates provide (can't blame you if you don't wanna stop either). Just something to think about.
and regarding not wanting to drag your folks into this, they are your PARENTS--your problems ARE their problem.
