How do I help my husband whos coming off methadone with the withdraws? ?
Ello. I was wondering what I could do to help my husband whos quitting methadone. What happen was back in August our son was born two months early. Due to the high stress that came with that he relaps and started to do heorin again. Around Christmas he came and told every body that he had messed up and needed help. His family member helped him by taking him to a clinic where they offered methadone. Hes been there for maybe a month now. This morning something had happen and the lady refused to give him his daily dose. So he left and decieded to just go cold turkey. Now Ive never done drugs or known anybody who has. I just know that coming off this is very long and painful. So my question is what should I expect in the next while and what can I do to help and be supportive? And is there any home remedies or something I can get at store to at least try to help with the withdraws pain.Any advice would be so helpful. Many thanks in advance

Help with fathers Methadone Withdrawl...?
My father in law has had a UTI, and has been on methadone for years for his pain. The doctors are slowly reducing his Methadone. He has gone from 50, to 30mg daily this week. He is staying at our house so we can monitor him. When he went to the doctors on Monday his B P was 140 90. Now his blood pressure is 140 100 and 130 99 the last 2 times we checked. He is flushed and getting cold sweats. He is in his 50's. He has been drinking lots of water to help flush out his infection. What can we do to help this process and make him feel better? Thanks

Help with detoxing from Methadone?
I am in a methadone program due to long term pain from cancer now " cured" in which I was taking high doses of narcotic pain killers. I have no problems with any of that. It was what was needed. Now, I am on methadone as it is a very effective painkiller which I still need but my goal is to have my doctor ween me off over the course of a year I didn't " get here" overnight...I" m not gonna get clean overnight. There is no shame, at all, in taking prescribed medication for a very serious illness but I want to get off the painkillers as much as possible . It's unreasonble to think that this is going to go fast. Also, again, no shame...one wouldn't tell a diabetic that they need to not be dependent upon insulin, right? Pain slows healing, increases stress, which can also as we all know kill you. I am on 30 mgs. day of Methadone I have already decreased, over the course of 3 months, from 35mgs my max dosage . What would be a good, slow & steady rate, to drop? I am giving myself six months, if possible. Thanks
