HI AND welcome to the forum so your ready to take your life back thats great with methadone you have to be willing to be in it for the long haul it takes some time to get off if you dont want to be in constant withdrawals you cant go to slow altohugh I personally would rather put up with some discofort then drag it out over years when you drope doses wait at lest 72hr b/4 froping again most clinics will allow 1 a week drops
the lower the dose the smaller the drops it all about percentage you need to try to keep a stable level of serum in your blood you can drop but always give yourself time to adjust there is a great 3 in one vitamin you can pick up at walmart it calcium/magnesium/zinc take 4 in the morning and 4 with dinner this will take a dew days to work but it will really cut back on your withdrawals this is a race one by the tortus not the hare slow and steady gets it done .....I help out most of the methadnians and will be happy to help you just message me I will send a message to get us started good luck and God bless......Gnarly
Go to the top of the site and search methadone....its part of the
medhelp.org health pages but u can find it by doing a site search....I just got off methadone 3 weeks ago from around 100mg to nothing w/ tapering. Message me if u wanna talk but the methadone portion of the health pages are amazing
Hi! You're here in 2012!
The doctor can't help with this?
We can't give you a taper plan per se' but I can tell you that you can drop a little bit, very slowly over time. You can't hurry a taper!
How will you manage your pain?
