methadone withdrawal

Post by Carol Orr »

I have a friend in her forties who was addicted to oxycontin 10 years ago. The
clinic never tried to lower her dose...she pressured them to lower it over the
years and then she tapered down from 20 mgs a day to 10 for a week and then 5
for a week, she said if she had to do it all over...she would have stayed at 5
longer. And she had an arsenal of vitamins(lots of c) and teas and tinctures.
I gave her nux for sleeping...only worked for two days....op and avena in
potency....and then tincture...nothing. Tried cham...nothing. Then after two
weeks of no methadone...she got a fever and thrush. I gave her calc carb 200c
which had taken away a yeast infection she had 15 years ago.....no change
after 15 minutes and finally gave her bell 30c which I had been afraid to
give her earlier on for fear of interfering with the op or something...can't
remember at the moment. 5 minutes later she lay down on couch and slept for
two hours and awoke saying fever was gone and she ate a big dinner and slept
okay that night and was not that bad yesterday...and today she says she feels
almost normal. Oh, how I would like to know what would have happened if I'd
given her the bell in the beginning. But now she is weak...she says from all
she has read that this can last up to 6 months. A heavy feeling walking
upstairs,, pretty much any effort. I told her to wait and maybe the calc carb
would work on that and the thrush. She is taking probiotics and I don't know
if that would interfere with the calc carb. Anyway, I thought this might be
helpful to someone who may have a similar situation ever.

That exhaustion may be an Opium state, perhaps you Might want to consider Methadone in 30C potency to clean that out.
Her body is tired
I only use avena for detox in tincture form. But sure sounds like she has the secondary effects of the Allo doses.
