Methadone And Morphine Detox From Dr. Perscribe Medication For Pain. (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Had been in hospic for Aids. Doc thought I would die, but got better. Placed on 150 mg of methadone per day and 30 mg of morphine per hour (using 20 to 22 pills a day). Two weeks ago informed no pain clinic would treat me because of high dosages. Sent home for hospice two weeks ago and told they would begin the detox from methadone. Went from 150 to 140 to 130 to 125 to present dosage of 100mg of morphine and same amount of morphine.

I would like to know what symptoms and side effects will I experience from detoxing this quickly from the methadone.

I was forced to detox completely by my Dr., however I was given a medication that stopped the heart palpitations and another med that helped me to sleep and with the anxiety. She was a b**** and only gave me a two week supply but because I hadn't abused my opioids it was a fairly smooth transition. However you can not work or truly be functional at home, but after the two weeks I was doing kinda ok. Not like the tv show, Intervention Withdrawal at all. Those are the ones that clearly abused the meds. Hope you are doing great with the transition.

Yeah kiddo he could've killed you, that's way too high. Methadone has a qt interval that's when the top chamber of the heart beats, then electricity goes to the bottom chamber and it beats. Methadone can mess up the signal, so top beats bottom dnt very deadly (pointes de something) lol, but bottom line 30 to 40 mgs of methadone is plenty unless you have cancer, then i say that's up to patients.
