Methadone Withdrawal?
Question by : Methadone Withdrawal?
I have cystic fibrosis and have been on methadone for 4 years to manage my pain. I decided to wean myself off the medicine since the doctor doesn’t want me to get off of it, so she wont help. I tapered from 3 – 10mg doses a day to 2 – 10mg, 1-10mg, 5mg, and now 2.5 mg over the last 3 weeks. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help ease the withdrawal symptoms. I am not having any of the mental cravings I hear others speak of, but the physical withdrawals are torture. Does anyone know about how long this will last? I broke down and went to the ER bc my dr is out of town and they wrote me a script for 10 1mg ativan. I’ve never taken that before. Will it help with the jitters I am feeling. I just feel like I’m going to crawl out of my skin. Polite responses only please, I am not a drug addict, I am a patient with severe chronic pain. Thanks for your help. I heard benadryl will help, is there any truth to that?
