I have been on methadone for 6 months, gradually decreasing my dose to get off this stuff.. I was on 5mg about 3-4 days ago, and had to stop because im going on a trip sunday. Im not sick to my stomach but my body feels warm but I am constantly freezing. The restless legs has turned into a restless entire body. Hot showers help a little but is there anything else I can do? Will this get better or worse as the days go on? If it gets any worse, how can I make traveling on a bus tolerable?
I forgot to add the constant fatigue and the fact that my legs burn just walking up the stairs..

opiate detox

My fiance has been on Methadone for an opiate addiction for 3 years. He recently has started the process to wean off of it. He was on 120 mg per day. He is now taking 67.5 mg. He is stepping down 2.5 mg per week. This week is the first week that he has started to feel withdrawals. He is sick at his stomach, hot and cold flashes, goose bumps and he says his whole body is aching. Is there anything we can do to make him more comfortable? He is very determined to get off of this stuff and I just want him to be as comfortable as possible.
He is doing this through a clinic and doctor. No he is not on this for pain management. He became addicted to opiates (oxycontin mostly) out of misspent youth in college. He cannot switch to suboxone until he is down to 30 mg of methadone. Mostly it is the nausea and pain in his body that is most bothersome.
