Does/did anyone else experience anger during withdrawl/tapering? I have found myself very angry, nearly to the point of rage, the past week or so. Especially bad Friday and today. Is it newly uncovered nerves? Some kind of chemical reaction? I know I feel anger toward my doctor-and myself for not doing my homework prior to taking that first methadone-but experience what feels like a volcano bubbleing up inside me sometimes which frightens me. I am also have a lot of stomache trouble the past few days (some cramps and pain) in addition to the nausea. I cannot help but wonder if the anger is part of the process. Any thoughts?
Scarlet yes the anger is part of the w/d, I too felt that terrible anger also when I quit before, also my stomach felt bad, all this will pass I know that I started taking antidepressiant medicene that is begining to really help with the anger and the depression. good luck hang in there and keep posting there are alot of people on here that will be here to help.
Scarlett.......Oh yes, it is just part of it. I was so angry I just wanted to scream and yell and hit something. I actually found it very theraputic to do that! LOL My husband was scared to come near me for a while. See, I can laugh at it now, and you will be able to, also. I know there is nothing funny about it today. I know that. But believe this, it will pass, and you will laugh about it soon, too!
Also, many of us needed an antidepressant to help overcome the angry, negative feelings. I started Prozac around week #6-7, and although many will slam that, it saved me!
Good luck!
Actually, I started taking Zoloft in mid-January and part of me was wondering if the anger I feed is from the Zoloft. But, you are probably right, it is the slow tapering from the methadone. I want so very badly to get this over with. The waiting and malingering is hideous.
