Methadone withdrawal- mental and physical problems
Hey yuckin, hang in there please!!! If you want off of it bad enough you'll tough it out. I know it sucks ass, but it will pass. I've been thru it too. The rls is awful!!! I would just kick my legs up and down on the couch til I was winded and if rls started back up, id do it again. Over and over again, eventually I wore myself out and would be able to sleep an hour or two. See, I don't have insurance so I couldn't just go ask for stuff. But then my new Dr decided m was the right thing for me. I did rapid taper a while back and did ok with it. If you can try trazadone for sleep. I swear by it!!! I still take it and most times sleep well. I wish I could help you more, but really stick to yer guns boyo!!!! I wish you the best and will pray for you!!!! As always, Mama (Oct 17, 2012 | post #41340)
Methadone withdrawal- mental and physical problems
Hello all!! I've been on here quite a few mos ago when I had a very bad experience with m. I took it for pain management, but only for a short while. I have since moved on from m. I was diagnosed a few mos ago with fibromyalgia so I stayed on m until a month, month and a half ago. It was not helping me. I chose to do a rapid taper. I fortunately had only one icky day......thank God, now I've decided to take tramadol. It works great for fibro, not so well for my other issues. But idc!!! I've gone thru withdrawals and I just wanted to die. I think every single one of you are a strong individual and can kick m's ass!!! You have to stay positive, and vitamin b12 helps too!! It's going to be a long road to recovery, but It's well worth it. Also maybe some of you can get an antidepressant, Idk everyone's story so take it only as a suggestion. Prozac not only helps my fibro....for now......but it also makes you just feel better mentally when it starts working, which can take up to 3 weeks. I'm in a way better place today than I was before. Positive attitude and perseverance is the key. No matter how crappy you feel!!! Remember that crappy feeling the next time you wanna use. Focus on how great you will feel soon. That's all I got for now LOL!!! I wish you all the best and may God speed!!! Mama (Oct 17, 2012 | post #41335)

Methadone withdrawal- mental and physical problems
Good morning all!!!! Talena I agree with you. He was a very rugged cowboy, but decided to work on the railroad here. Shit ton more money to be made. My babies are great!! Thank you for asking!!! My youngest...my so just turned 3 two weeks ago :( my two oldest daughters went to their dads til the 11 th and my 6 yo daughter is super stoked about starting kindergarten!!!! No matter how bad it between my bf and I , I still have to give my kids a sense of normalcy. Ahhhh pink Floyd.......one of my all time faves!!!! It's pretty funny if you all think about it.......us ladies have some great taste in music LOL!!!! 80s is my generation music and so lots of good times!!!! 60-70s I grew up with cuz of my parents and family. My girls of course like the new hip hop which some of its pretty alright. Contrary to me livin in the sticks......I'm not a big fan of country music. I'm really into 80-90- to present rock and Muse. My pain management is goin ok as long as I stick to my schedule. Which was hard cuz my bf taking my pills away. I finally got them back from him. I picked up my phone a pretended to call the cops. Ha!!! Mother f@#$er got scared LOL!!! I've been sleeping on the couch lately as well cuz I can't be around or with him. I'm way to hurt. Like I said the other day.......I think I'm avoiding the inevitable......ma kes me very sad. But hey....who knows maybe God has someone else in mind for me!! Anyways......my methadone usage and routine has been working well for me. I also started a big vitamin regiment as well and to be honest, I don't have near the headaches, and I've lost weight!!! Well have a great day everyone. I will be on a lot today cuz I'm not doing crap today!!!! Have a lovely day!!!!! As always, Mama (Aug 3, 2012 | post #39686)

For the sake of argument.....I HAVE holding out. I'm goin kinda crazy LOL!! But It's not working!!! S.o. I have a few other womanly tricks a could use on him. He's just a jerk and i think I'm delaying the inevitable. (Aug 2, 2012 | post #39674)
Methadone withdrawal- mental and physical problems
Good morning!!!!! Jon.....I absolutely love the Muse songs!!! My favorite right now is Endlessly, my all time favorite is resistance, undisclosed desire, and Survival. Survival kinda reminds me a little of Queen tho, but still a good jam!! As for your advice.....LOL.... .id love to cause pain to him....he's a jerk and I know it. If i didn't have anything to lise I'd put a bad hurt on him, but I don't wanna go to jail. Been there a few times not much fun!! I'm so super happy you are sleeping!! That's the worst thing ever!!!! I can handle feeling like ass crack, but i CANNOT take not sleeping and the restlessness. I still take trazodone for sleep. Not everynight but a couple times a week. Anyways I absolutely love Muse so all the songs are pretty much my faves LOL!! I have about 40 songs downloaded on my phone on my mo3 app. Amazing band I think. Hmmmmm wonder if the singer is single??? Ha!! Just kidding!! I'm so glad you are feeling better!!! Much love, Mama (Aug 2, 2012 | post #39673)
Methadone withdrawal- mental and physical problems
hey AB...I haven't looked back at posts yet..just got back from moving tractors....hot as Hell out and no more stuff at their old place thank heaven!!!! I am only taking 10mgs a day. 5 in the morning and 5 at night and i feel it helps a lot,especially for the break-through pain that the Cymbalta doesn't take care of. I honestly don't think my dose on either med needs to be adjusted. Of course I'm closely monitored by my doc and there's the addiction factor as well,but It's working great!! I'm sorry your trip wasn't all that you expected. I want so badly to go to Canada and bear hunt and go pike fishing. I'm hoping I can go next June. I was supposed to go this year,but 1 sister had a baby and the other is pregnant with twins and they couldn't go. But next year my oldest daughter will be 14 and i think that's a good age for her to go. All my children like to fish and hunt,but then again we don't have many lethal animals around LOL!! Maybe a mountain lion or two and tons of bobcats,but they generally leave you be. My bf needs a huge wake up call and understand that I'm doing what I think is best for me. He really only thinks of himself tho. Oh well. I hope you're doing well!!!! I'm gonna go check cows and ride my horse a while. Have a great day and i will chat later!!!! Much love, Mama (Jul 29, 2012 | post #39547)
