Your ER physician may have discharged you with nausea or anxiety medicines to treat the symptoms of withdrawal. Nausea medicine like ondansetron or metoclopramide are common, as are Clonidine and hydroxyzine. You may have been given a short course of a benzodiazepine like Adavan, Valium or Librium to last until you can follow up with outpatient providers. Some ER docs will prescribe buprenorphine as well. It’s unlikely you will receive methadone in the ER.
