It is one of the worst feelings you will ever have. Day one, its not to bad, day two, you start to sweat, and have severe stomach cramps. You do not want to eat or drink anything. Then comes day three, severe muscle cramps, and restless leg syndrome, dry heaves, chills, hot spells, you will not sleep for about a month. You must force your self to eat and drink, everything you do hurts fore a long time.

Will methadone help hydromorphone withdrawl symptoms?
I see these questions alot, but they just do not make any sense to me. If you are trying to get off an opiate, why would you take another opiate? The answer is NO. There is a reason why they give methadone at clinics to get off opiates and not hydrocodone and oxycodone. Oxycodone and hydrocodone half a much shorter half-life than methadone, therefore you need MORE of it to get similar effects. What makes methadone a great tool for opiate recovery is that it lasts so long and because the euphoric effects are much less than hydrocodone. Therefore you can take much less and manage it much more easily at a lower cost. If you take hydrocodone to lesson your methadone withdrawal, then you are only building a tolerance for hydrocodone that will cause withdrawal symptoms as well. Again, why would you take a drug for withdrawal symptoms that cause withdrawal itself? Methadone is the best choice for opiate detox. If you are experiencing withdrawal serious enough to make you think about taking another opiate you are either 1., not ready to detox, or 2., are not being decreased properly by your doctor or clinic manager. The normal decrease rate for methadone is 1-2mg a WEEK. Yes, it's slow, but very effective and will have little to no withdrawal symptoms. This is all from personal experience.

generally no, but it depends on the amount of methadone you take... if you have a low tollerance and you take 4 methadone 10's, then you will nod off and feel very heavy as like heroin... hope this helps...
