Hello all,

Read the recent threads on methadone and none of them really addressed my issue so I de iced to make my own thread.

Getting right into it, I have been on methadone for two weeks and am preparing to jump off. I am on a daily dose of 30mg. I have saved my takehomes to help me taper off. I have been to this dance before so I know I am going to be uncomfortable.

I hope this doesn't fall under asking for medical advice BUT.

I was hoping someone could provide me with advice to ease my discomfort. For instance. What kinds of foods should I eat and what should I be drinking? Should I attempt to see a doctor to maybe get prescribed something to assist me? My insurance is wonky right now though so also if anyone knows of anything I should buy over-the-counter that is able to combat the symptoms??

And is there anything else I should do? Stay up before jumping off to try to sleep through the worst of it, etc..

Good ways to keep myself focused and occupied?

You are lucky you have only been on it for two weeks like you no you will feel uncomfortable but if you leve it eny longer you might be on for years..
The only good advise is ride it out .

You should be good to go in a week or two.

Staying clean is the hard bitt matey. Good luck kiddo

Not to make light of your situation but you have only been on it 2 weeks you shouldn't be all that sick. Just work with your Dr on how many mlg's to taper off of and I am sure you will be fine.
