Ive been searching over and over for tips on detoxing from methadone. I have been in mmtp for almost 2 years now. I was on a fixed dose of 70mgs for a while and then found out I was pregnant. Further into your pregnancies you need to increase your dose cuz you get less and less due to the baby. Well i went up to 115 and wanted to detox asap! I managed to come straight down to 56 mgs 2mgs a day. Now the trouble begins. My husband is in Iraq soon to be home in 6 wks or so. I would like to be off the ball and chain (methadone) for good by the time he comes home. Its expensive and ties you down, You cant travel and have to dedicate 3/4 of your time and planning to the program. Well anyhow, im still coming down 2 mgs daily stopping periodically so my body can catch up. Im looking for advice on getting through this a little easier. I have no experience with maintenance and the Dr.s are quick to tell you that you cant be successfull in doing it! Please someone help me! Im all alone with a 5 month old baby and need advice!
