What Will Help With Methadone Withdraw?
Question by Steve: what will help with methadone withdraw?
Best answer:
Answer by Ann
Tapering off slowly, not stopping abruptly.
Take medication under supervision from medical staff. It CAN be done on an outpatient basis. Usually a medication is prescribed and taken to help the withdrawal symptoms. Since it is a narcotic drug, there will be withdrawal symptoms. But it’s easier and safer to taper off slowly.
There are some resources online to help explain the process. One is here. Take a look:
http://www.wikihow.com/Withdraw-from-Methadone
They suggest: “If you are on methadone, consider reducing your dose slowly to 30mg. Then switch to subutex/suboxone (buprenorphine); stabilize on that for a while, then slowly taper off the subutex.”
Please try dialing your doctor’s office if the symptoms get too bad. The prescribing doctor’s staff should help you get more information. If you can’t tolerate the withdrawal alone, you can try an acute psych facility or detox center. I don’t know where you are, so I can’t recommend any.
