Is there anything that helps with Methadone withdrawals?
My fiance has been on Methadone for an opiate addiction for 3 years. He recently has started the process to wean off of it. He was on 120 mg per day. He is now taking 67.5 mg. He is stepping down 2.5 mg per week. This week is the first week that he has started to feel withdrawals. He is sick at his stomach, hot and cold flashes, goose bumps and he says his whole body is aching. Is there anything we can do to make him more comfortable? He is very determined to get off of this stuff and I just want him to be as comfortable as possible.He is doing this through a clinic and doctor. No he is not on this for pain management. He became addicted to opiates oxycontin mostly out of misspent youth in college. He cannot switch to suboxone until he is down to 30 mg of methadone. Mostly it is the nausea and pain in his body that is most bothersome.

Can I take Clonodine and Advil together?? Clonodine is for methadone withdrawal; for rapid heart beat.?
My dr prescribed me Clonodine for the rapid heart beat associated with methadone withdrawal. I would like to take a larger dose of advil for some aches and pains, like 600 800mg but I'm unsure if this okay w the Clonodine. The Rx paperwork for Clonodine said to double my dose of Clonodine if I plan on taking Advil or any NSAID's. But I'm wondering if this is correct and if so, is doubling my dose accurate? Right now my regular dose is 1 2 tablet 0.1 mg in the morning and a full tablet 0.1 mg at night. I also take Requip for RLS and Wellbutrin for depression

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE METHADONE WITHDRAWALS AFTER JUST 6 OR 7 HOURS? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!?
PLEASE, FIRST OF ALL, ONLY EXPERIENCED PEOPLE OR DOCTORS OR COUNSELORS ANSWER MY QUESTION...THE LAST TIME I GOT A BUNCH OF KIDS TELLING ME TO GO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND IT MADE NO SENSE AT ALL here is my story...I have been going to a methadone clinic since dec 2, 1009. they started me out on 30mg and every 2 days you can go up 5mg, so I did and when you get to 60mg you can go up every 7 10 days 10mg. Its now late March and I am on 120mg of LIQUID methadone.. not the Wafers . HERE IS MY QUESTION Over the past 2 days about 6 or 7 hours after I have dosed I start feeling aches and pains, hot and cold chills and today I have a mild fever. it hurts really bad to go up and down stairs, ...basically it feels like I'm having withdrawals....BUT WHY? I thought with methadone you are suppose to not go through withdrawals for about 24 to 48 hours...I have only had the flu once, so I dont remember really what its like to have the flu ....or a very bad cold for that matter...so do you guys think I am coming down with something or going through withdrawals for some reason? My husband said he quit going to the methadone clinic because thats what was going on with him this was before we knew each other but he took alot of amphetamines, so his metabolism was fast...all i know is I've been doing everything right, I AM NOT doing any other opiates or anything..PLEASE ANY INFO WOULD HELP SO MUCH....ive been on 120mg for about 3 weeks and i cannot go up any more because the state law now says if you take benzo's which i do, i take klonipin you cannot go any higher than that and that was fine with me anyway. please help I forgot to mention, and " Thank You" to the girl that responded first to me by the way ...actually I didnt mention, I am an addict AND a chronic pain patient. that is why I am on a high dose ...and I have been persribed my klonipin for over 14 years, so I know alot about them, and I really really wish that could of been the answer to my problems, but actuaally I dont take my klonipin every day...so I dont think that is my reason anyway...BUT, thank you SO much for your advice I was addicted to Dilaudid and Oxycontin from surgery after surgery and ER visits from Chronic endometriosis..Last year I had both ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, but I still had alot of pain..and addiction so thats why I started going to the methadone clinic. I have tried Suboxone, but it didnt help for my pain...however if it's the methadone causing me to go into withdrawls after such a short amount of time I WILL go back to the Suboxone again to the person that wrote to me first, thanks so much
