Opiate Flu Like Symptoms
Posted: Fri Mar 29, 2019 12:48 pm
Hello All,
I was prescribed methadone 2-3 months ago. Initially, I was reluctant to take it since my lyrica and mirapex combo ha| been working well, but I started to notice my sleep quality was declining.
After 2-3 days of taking 2.5mg at night, I got extremely bad flu like symptoms. Severe headache behind my eyes - triggered by light- nausea, and vomiting. Obviously, I stopped taking it, but I have to say that it was effective in terms of sleep quality and RLS relief.
I looked this up online and it seems like these are withdrawals symptoms, but I’m not sure why I would experience withdrawal after 2-3 days. Furthermore, i had this issue with kratom, making me think this is an opiate specific reaction. I’m wondering if anyone else has had or heard of an experience like this.
I’m set to see my doctor in a few weeks and I’ll run it by him as well.
Best,
Oozz
