And not trying to be mean, but just wanting to express how dangerous and illegal this is to do. It's a Felony.

So, taking your friends med is just the same as your girlfriend stealing yours in the eyes of the law.

I haven't been on the boards for the last month or so and I will have to read more of your posts to see if you tried everything with contacting your Dr. to show them the police report or meet with them to maybe give you something to help with the withdrawals....

The time that I experienced withdrawals was a few years ago during a horrible stomach virus that lasted 7 days and I couldn't hold any food down and just sips of water so couldn't take any of my meds....It certainly wasn't easy, but it's doable.

I strongly urge you to reconsider taking anything more that isn't prescribed to you and find other ways to deal with this until you can get your next prescription...

and as I said I AM prescribed this medicine and dose, but I understand where your coming from.. sorry

Addendum:

Something else that's good for restless legs (if your doc says it's OK) is either drinking Quinine Water, (if you don't like the taste, mix it in something, OR, they make an OTC product called Q-vel which contains Quinine in it).

I turned my MIL onto it, and she swears by it now!!  She drinks one glass before bed, faithfully!

Thanks Luie! Believe me when I say I certainly know all about w/ds!

Im now close to 2 weeks methadone free!!!

Luie -- Unfortunate that you (as many of us do) have to lock/secure your meds up, and be thankful you're learning.

Vickie -- Dang girl!! Way to go!!  I'm so proud of you.  Two weeks.  That's incredible!!
