I was on pain management for five months. I was taking methadone, and I have been taken off of all of it. I am having a very hard time with the withdrawal. Anyone know how to make this any easier? I want to jump out of my skin!!

I'd also like to throw in this question as well: How long will this last for?
Also: my doctor was the one who quit prescribing. I don't have to go cold turkey, but all he gave me was 20 5 mg Vicodins and 800 mg Motrins. I'm trying to ration the Vicodins to only 1 or 2 a day because they make the nausea even worse, and they don't help much either.
The doctor thought that I was selling my pills because I ran out early. I assure you that I was not.

Well I have never taking methadone , but I was on cocaine for eight years so I know a lot about addiction, my advice might not fit your needs but I would try to sleep as much as possible I would sometimes take tylenol PM so that I could. Have friends over it's always better to suffer in company than alone. And Good Luck I really feel for you and understand how hard this could be. Please hang in there there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I have managed to stay clean for almost three years. I wish you the best and I will pray that you are strong enough to get through this.

Well I used to do drugs very intensly and when I finally decided that I needed to get clean and sober the only thing that help me overcome that time in my life was keeping active and doing things to get that chapter of my life out of my head. After a few months of doing that it should all get easier.

eat candy, drink coffee, walk, go to NA meetings. Sunflower seeds helped me alot.
PRAY. Good Luck. Don't use (or drink) even if your *** falls off. It'll get better. ONE DAY AT A TIME!
God Bless.
