I have been taking methadone now for 6 months, and I want to get off of it. I’ve heard of suboxone, but I wanted to know if there are any other ways/methods of withdrawing from it. I’ve gone up to three days off it, and was so sick. I get major anxiety which I take Klonopin for and it doesn’t help at all! I get chills/sweats, head is dizzy and confused, tired, achy all over like I have cancer of something, can’t sleep, irritable, diahrrea, no appetite. Please help!!!

Answer by motel
The best way to quit methadone is to lower your dose by 10% every two weeks until your off (10mg if over 50mg, 5mg if under), not by skipping days. When you do finally stop, keep benadril and Imodium handy. Withdrawls come and go, day 10 and the third week are the worst. They should be all gone within 3 months or so. You shouldn’t mix methadone and benzo (klonopin, xanax, valium), it’s deadly (I’ve seen it many times). Suboxine is very expensive and generally doesn’t work.

Methadone Symptoms: How to deal with Methadone withdrawal with Dr Rodriquez and Delray Center



Methadone withdrawal “Lets talk about Methadone withdrawal. Methadone withdrawal for the most part looks like opiate withdrawal with a few differences. The first difference is that Methadone withdrawal comes on a little later then opiate withdrawal. If somebody stops using an opiate a conventional opiate whether it be a prescription medication or heroin the person will experience withdrawal within a matter of hours to within a day or so. They will start to feel the typical symptoms clammy skin the goose bumps the hot flashes nausea yawning runny nose sneezing teary eyes a lot of pain they feel like you have the flu. An overall sense of discomfort and often depression no energy and difficulty sleeping. Now with Methadone it comes on a little later. Maybe not until the second or even third day will a person experience full withdrawal symptoms coming off of Methadone. this is due to the long half life that Methadone has it last much much longer then pretty much any other opiate medication that exist on the market. Even longer acting medications like oxycotton or MScotton really are short half life medications. They are in a long half life slow release shell but really once that medicine wears off the withdrawal comes on pretty quickly. Methadone itself is a inheritly long half life long acting medication that in no matter how its delivered will last a very long time and of course the withdrawal comes on much later. Other notable elements about Methadone withdrawal is that it …
