Methadone Question

I'm trying to get off Norco/Vicodin for the millionth time! I ran out of any type of meds and I have 9 methodone, 10mg. I took 3 this morning and this seems to be my blocking dosage.

I only have six left. My question is when I'm done with these six, which will be in two days, can I expect to be thrown into terrible withdrawal as if I'm starting over at day 1?

I was hoping just being off all the opiates for three days would lessen the withdrawal I feel once I get to day 4 and take nothing.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I didn't get it from a doctor :-( Got it from a friend, hoping that I could finally get off the horrible meds I was on.

Just looking for a simple answer from someone who might have experience.

Hi Cali

I think withdrawal is unpredictable no matter what drug we're using - there are usually many factors in play. I have no knowledge of methadone but I assume it would be the same?

If you're worried I recommend you see a Dr and get some expert answers.

You could also look at our Suboxone/Methadone detox forum:
