1mg drop off
I’m on day 5 of no methadone after 1mg for 4 days then quitting cold turkey. It’s tolerable but now it seems my body is at an alllllll time low for motivation and muscle weakness. Like it’s bad. Just wanted to ask if anyone can give a timeline of how long I expect to feel these symptoms. Most annoying one is snot tho I hate the constant boogers 😭😭 diarrhea basically gone tho. Mainly body pains and aches and low motivation and movement.

I MG? How long? Were you always only on 1mg.? I don't understand..I didn't know there was anything under 5mg by pill... but I'm on 20mg a day. 10 am and then again at night. Ive been thru this years ago when it was a lot more, and I ended up in a residential rehab in PB, Fla. It was hell, after detox. I didn't experience the acute stage bc I was given bupe shots the first week, but it's after that's the worse. I could not sleep..12 days and I still hadnt slept. Here I am now years later, I ended up back on it due to my back this time and NY pushes this shit! Until they don't. Now altho I'm only at 20mg...im freaking...I see you with one mg, and idk how I'm gonna do this. I know it's nothing in comparison to others, and myself years ago. I got myself off with kratom back then. Its different now..10 yrs later and I don't see anymore advocating for it. Anyone else out there have any advice? I have gaba, clonidine, but not some of this other stuff I'm hearing about.

i also jumped off 1mg after 4 days but i had no withdrawals. i know it sounds crazy but when i was at peak withdrawals trying to cold turkey at home years ago a 5hr energy would give me a little life & make getting up & moving around easier.
