i’m taking methadone 10mg … 3 times a day … when the time comes to quit taking it what can I expect to go through and for how long? detox, withdrawals etc.

Answer by smartsassysabrina
When you stop taking it you will need to go to a detox center or “Methadone clinic”. Withdrawal symptoms will be headaches, itching, feeling of creepy crawlies under your skin, insomnia, and possibly hallucinations. If you get proper treatment during the detox phase the symptoms may abate after a week. If you go it alone, expect it to last much longer, up to a month.

HYDROCODONE………………..?

Question by random: HYDROCODONE………………..?
one of my best friends takes hyrocodone everyday…ive taken them a couple times before and i know what it feels like. he spends alot of money on them and gets his pills from people he knows. im pretty sure he is addicted to them. since i known him ive noticed he gets mad very easy and he gets very irratated when someone doesnt do something he wants them to do. what are the long term effects of hydro’s as far as heath risk goes?

Good luck to both of you.http://www.mamashealth.com/substance/prescription.asp
