So as an update to my previous post a while back I’m now on day 18 and it’s been more or less ok. While withdrawal symptoms have been subjectively mild. Clonidine and Xanax has helped a lot. (Especially if you can get hold of the 0.3mg clonidine patches) those made me less sedated/dizzy as it’s slower release.

No doubt it’s been tough.. mainly due to how long this has lasted. I’m still not 100% but close enough. One thing I want to say to anyone who may try this.. watch out for dehydration. I have been drinking tons of water, some green tea, and water with liquid iv packets ( helps muscle cramps) but I have had persistent diarrhea for over two weeks and I ended up in the hospital for IV fluids as I had a few vasovagal episodes where I knocked out. Should have been taking Imodium this whole time. Also I have lost a lot of weight. From 235-195lbs (I am a 6”0 male)

Lack of sleep is the absolute worst but I finally managed to sleep 8 hours last night for the first time so I think I’m about done with the worst.

Also I have totally lost my cravings for crap food like processed stuff, ice cream, candy. So that’s been nice. I swear methadone makes you crave it. I also feel less lethargic and lazy.
