JNew12 > ...I came off 50mg of methadone and 4mg of xanax at the same time..now that was hard! I stayed up 6 day in a row, first I tried unsion, melatonin, and remeeron to get some sleep, but it did not work.
I don't know how on earth you did that! I was taking 300 mg of methadone for pain (without much result) and pissed off my doctor who cut me off cold turkey. I went through 12 days of the worst hell on earth one could imagine. Couldn't eat, sleep, everything smelled nauseating, drooled, runny nose, the shakes, suicidal ideation, but all I could do for those 12 days was sit on the couch and drink water out of a bottle (couldn't hold a glass). Friends had to walk me to the toilet. Couldn't bathe, didn't care, just lived minute to minute in distress. Horrible. Never, NEVER try methadone unless you get a guarantee from your physician that they will wean you off of it.
And Xanax too? Wow!
