hi Ryan your advice really resonated with me. For so many years I made excuses and half passed attempts at getting clean. This time I have used that "drive" you were talking about because it is a battle.I have 17 weeks clean the longest for 30 years and yes it was the hardest thing I have done in my56 years, but worth all the struggle and pain. Thank you for once again great advice.,and to the lady withdrawing from methadone hang in there and stay strong it's worth it to start living again. love to all.
Took me 30days of W/Ds coming off 9+yrs of methadone. I jumped off 80mgs and was one of the hardest detoxes from opiates ive ever experienced. It is something you can do just know it will come to an end and you will heal. You will learn a lot about how strong you are and how much we can go through during it. I wish you the best of luck who posted to Ryan.
For 13 days it was really severe. Check mark on every symptom you get from opiates. On day 14 I felt it was over and fell asleep that night for the first time and got decent sleep. Once I woke up I was in severe w/d's again, they were just as severe as they were on the 4th day. This broke me down mentally since I had got excited thinking it had ended. The w/d's from day 14 to day 23 were bad mentally and physically. after day 23 the severity slowed down each day till after day 30. After day 30 I finally started feeling better. The mental part was still bad for 2 months after the fact of the physical stopping. I also had waves of physical that would pop in for brief moments during this time also. Its been 9 months now and I am still clean and couldn't be more happy to be off methadone. All the symptoms have subsided and I had to relearn what "normal" sweating and "normal" cold chills are. For awhile each time I felt cold chills or goosebumps I thought I was starting to W/D again. I documented my entire journey through those 30days btw with everything I took to try and take the edge off. Thanks for the question sorry I replied a month later.
that was so brave of her to reach out & ask for help- and go to a meeting. the first step! kudos. hope she remembers each persons withdrawal is different. but one thing that remains the same is it can be done! it truly is a fight to break free from hell but soo worth it. the crying and intense emotions are normal during this time. remember to stay hydrated.
This upcoming Halloween will mark my one year detox/sobriety date! I'm so excited Ryan, I've worked so hard on myself every single day and I just can't believe how far I've come, from where I was....soon I would like to write in and share my story as it is similar to yours in many ways...I too had a planned suicide and then was placed on a 51-50 and it's been a hell of a ride but I' am still here today so it would be nice to share how I got from where I was , to where I am now... Anyways your videos have helped me immensely throughout my recovery and I just want to thank you for everything you're doing for people! It's awesome dude seriously! Keep it up Ryan!..
Ryan the advice you gave her was so right. I know the step of methadone withdrawals like the lines in my face and Ryan is correct when he said the length of time on methadone absolutely depends on the severity and length of time they last. For me the third day tears and sleeplessness begins, no appetite but not much nausea. The forth day the anxiety and horrible bone pain begins along with rls. All of those symptoms intensify by the fith day. By the seventh day green bile. This all sounds pretty bad huh? But, I stay that sick with no sleep up to 20 days and that's been the pattern for me after 20 years. Stay strong, pray and cling to grandma and you will make it through the horrors of methadone withdrawal. good luck!
I was on methadone for 6 years, in that time I tried to get off 6-7 times. The longest I lasted was 10 days, it was a horrific 10 days each time. I had to crawl out of bed to get to my sons crib, and couldn't even lift him. I ended up getting on suboxne which I've been on for 3years (down to 1mg). Now I really wish I would have just stopped at the methadone and dealt with the withdrawals. I've just prolonged being truly clean, and made it harder mentally. So stay strong girl. It's ok, cry it out, it's a rough detox, but it's possible. If you go online and look up meetings around you, you might beable to get a number or email of someone who runs the meetings. They will def find someone to pick you up for meetings. Good luck, I wish you the best.

Amber Sullivan To be perfectly honest if I had a do over I wouldn't of done suboxone or methadone either and got clean from Oxy instead. Worse withdrawals much faster heal time (usually). That being said I don't think methadone is the devil some make it out to be. If tapered and you are knowledgeable and prepared about what's going to happen it can save your life. In my own personal opionion it was easier for me to get clean from because the withdrawals were half as bad as Oxy for me they simply lasted much longer (15 days or so). But I couldn't get off Oxy because it hurt to bad. This I could. I only generally recommend subs or methadone as a last resort for people but it's not the devil some make it out to be it can save lives if you want it bad enough.
Lone Ranger yesss its something about pills. i think its the Tylenol and acetaminophen in it that really fuccs ur body. cuz if u read the over the counter meds. like tylenol. advil. etc. it will tell u dnt take more then a certain mg in 24hrs. or like 10 in that day. and we're taking like 20,30pills daily. so withdrawls from pills i thibk has a lasting effect. cuz i was on allll that. and i got on opana 80mgs daily. and the withdrawl from that i couldn't even start. i jus felt it within a hr of waking up and i got scared. and then i got on herion. thing bout herion is its pure. no tylenol. no nothing. jus cut a lil or alot. but the withdrawls are terrible too. but u can do it i would withdrawl 72hrs and kinda be good. pills its like 7days or a lil longer depeneding on how long ur body been used to it. but i been clean for some time now feels great
Lone Ranger I completely agree with you. I never was really into pills, I was a heroin addict. So it would of been way easier and faster for me to detox from that then the Meth. But at that time, I wasn't mentally ready or able. In a way methadone and subs saved my life and condemned it. I was able to get my self back on my feet, have a family, job and home. But in that time I let it become a crutch. I tell people all the time, try your hardest to get sober but if you have to, use methadone as a last resort and taper down. I'm still on the subs now, still on one ml. I've tried detoxing from it more then a few times. I can deal with the physical withdrawals but it's the mental part I'm having a real hard time with. I feel like I can't get through life without them, like I'm actually mentally insane sober. It sounds crazy and I know it's a lie, but when I'm detoxing it feels like the truth.
Lone Ranger thank you. Believe my I hit my rock bottom a long long time ago, half my problem is it still haunts me, the things I've done. My problem is I'm too comfortable taking a tab everyday, thinking I'm "basically sober". But I'm not, and I don't like lying to myself. It's crazy something so small can rule our lives, and become the biggest part of it. This channel and people like you keep bringing me one step closer to being in control of my own life. I'm tired of waking up and going to bed sick everyday, and thinking the minute I get up "as soon as I take my sub I'll be ok". It disgusts me how weak I am, and I'm tired of being weak. I'm dropping down again to 1/2 ml a day. When I get to 0, I might have to take you up on that offer and email you. I look forward to be able to say I have 9 months clean, or even a week.

I felt the same way so I understand. That sounds like a good plan. Hang in there!
Emotions are all over the place in withdraws. Hang in there you're not alone. I cried like a baby over just about anything for a while. Thanks for sharing. And awesome family pics Ryan. I'll be taking mine to the mall tomorrow. They are so beautiful rent they. Take care. Happy Halloween 👻
Please respond man. I was on methadone "recreationally" for about a year for 5 out of 7 days of the weeks. I took 10mg once a night. Day 7 off of it and I still can't sleep. I'll just lay there longer than I actually sleep. I might get 3 and a half hours of sleep at night and I plan for it so I go to bed early. How long will I have to endure this do you think? I'm 28 and in decent shape. I excersise to keep my mind off it and I thought this would help. Compared to most of the recovering people out there, I took a small amount. Please share your insight.
