Methadone detox

I am down to 2.5 milligrams of done.  Staying here for two weeks then down to one for two weeks. Hoping for minimal withdrawals.  Is my taper at a good speed?

Today is day 66 free of methadone. So grateful to be free from the clutches of it.  I have had zero symptoms since day 1.  I went slow and low.  Well another pain clinic closed its doors without notice to patients.  Since this happened to me too I definitely don't want to be in this position ever again.  This has motivated me to stay positive during this transition.  This whole taper was effortless in the end.  I just stopped and haven't experienced any withdrawls.  I dodged a bullet so to speak. Everyone is different and IMO you don't need to be scared.  I have tapered in the past AND suffered.  So I am experienced with withdrawl symptoms.But this time I didnt have them. I am just rambling.  Anyway taking this one day at a time......peace

Today is day 36 off of methadone.  Caught a cold so I feel lousy.  Moving slower today.  I never got sick on methadone  so this is new. Sneezing is unbelievable today.  But I am so grateful that my withdrawals never came.  I still have no cravings but then haven't had them for years. Taking it one day at a time......peace
