My prescription was changed from methadone 80mg A DAY to oxycontin 40mg twice a day. ID been taking the methadone for 8 months and I have never went through anything like it. It severe withdrawal, after 2 weeks into it the oxy would not help pain and would only subside methadone withdrawal for about an hour then it was back like id never taken anything. You hurt deep down in your bones, sweat and freeze, joints hurt, you cant eat, cant sleep and then after 2 weeks of this it gets worse until it finally goes away after a month. But hang in there and get off it and just take what you can to get through it . There is no situation worse than being on methadone because it does nothing for pain you just take it to function.

Man, I feel for you: there are soooo many severely addictive drugs out there; and so many people with really severe physical illnesses who need medications but hate getting hooked on 'em ~ like me!

I recently lived (barely) thru eight days of Lyrica Withdrawal: Drenched in sweat, shivering uncontrollably, vomiting, weeping, hallucinating, gasping for breath, staggering from one room to the next, barely sleeping, even suffering sudden and dangerously violent convulsive seizures! Pregabalin withdrawal is beyond HELL! As I say, I just lived through 8 days of it and then I scored and fixed (legally: I went to the pharmacy & got my Lyrica and took some) and I just woke up from about 4 hours of Lyrica-induced heavy sleep. But the RELIEF! While I was in Withdrawal I don't think I had any Delta-wave sleep at all, which is very wearing and exhausting. If I hadn't had the Hydrocodone to alleviate some of it, I wouldn't have slept at all. As it was it was an abominable ordeal I do NOT wish to repeat.

Maybe Percocet (which I've never had, but I've had Hydrocodone) might not turn out to be the best medication for your pain. But if by any chance you end up being switched from Methodone to Lyrica, be aware that Lyrica IS very effective for nerve pain; BUT it is also very, very habit-forming. GOOD LUCK.

I wouldn't think much more than a few days although it's gonna feel like a week or more! I took like tons of 10mg vics a day plus other stuff for years and now I have been on Methadone for 8 years and am now trying to deal with the withdrawl of detoxing from that demon....whatever you do, try an stick it out and keep away from methadone!! Drink lots of water to flush your system and hang in there wish I had a miracle answer for you, good luck!

Yes you will still feel the d.t.'s from the methadone. It has a 72 hour half life. you can determine the time it will take to completely rid your body of the drug. Then you will have to deal with the mental withdrawls

Methadone is well known to cause withdrawals, regardless of what it is replaced with. That is why many people end up on a lifetime maintenance dose of it, rather than ever being able to become drug free.

What were you taking it for, was it for addiction treatment, or pain?

You should not be switching from methadone to percocet which is very addictive also. If your Dr. can perscribe suboxen try that. It helps to take away the pain of opiate withdrawl.
