I would like to warn people about going off methadone. I have been on it with only moderate results. I decided to go off. I found that the medical books say (and believe me) it's harder to get off than heroin.
I don't have cravings. I have what they accurately describe as "bone pain" Alth my neurologist has been helping me get off it (very slowly) it is like post op pain without pain killers. BEWARE,FRIENDS! |

They put me on that for about a year. That doc was a jerk so I fired and found another.
The new one changed meds and I stopped one day without any withdrawal problems at all. I don't know if I am "weird". Just wanted to share my experience. I was on heart meds, muscle relaxers, and nervous system disorder meds that have a side effect of relieving pain. WHen those were stopped in hospital, that was really bad withdrawal. Maybe my body works backward.
