Quitting Methadone Cold Turkey 120mg Need Advice

Hi I have some questions about all the things I am going through from quitting 120mg methadone without tapering down and I'm doing it cold turkey! My husband won't let me take suboxone which really helped me before plus I have Lupus and a serious back injury so I guess I don't have an option. The symptoms I am having are anxiety, severe depression never happy and I use to be a happy and funny person, severe pain, and I can't be on my feet for more than a couple minutes because my calf muscles literally kill me and I have no idea what to do it has been 23 days but I heard it could last months so I am really scared also I need to attended school ASAP! So if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Britta,
WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU STOP COLD TURKEY?????? Methadone is not a drug to play around with. Of course you are going thru all those things, your body is accustomed to having methadone in its system. It can actually be very dangerous to do what you are doing.

My advice is to get back on your regular dose and do it the right way.

Good luck.

Hey


COLD turkey can be dangerous. Try to get back onto programme and do it properly you may think it will take ages but once you start reducing youll be more comfortable.

Good luck

hi Britta,
what is going on with you? Are you OK and have you gone back to your clinic to do a slower detox??

We are thinking about you.
