gnarly is right....I too detoxed off of a methadone habit here 8-9 months ago....I was doing about 70 a day and it was extremely difficult but doable.....I applaud you for trying to quit....This is going to difficult but doable.....One thing that gnarly turned me onto is protein powder....I am religeous with the stuff and it truly helps out a lot! Also in the upper right hand corner of this web page you will see a Health Pages icon.....Navigate there and look for the Amino Therapy Protocol article....It is all about methadone detox and has a great regiment of vitamins and minerals that will help you out immensely.....
This will not kill you.....If you can get someone to help you out for the first week will be really great....You will probably not be able to work or function for that first week but it WILL NOT KILL YOU!!! I am a firm believer that you get out of detox what you put into it....If you follow the Amino Therapy Protocol article and get lots of water down, you will see a big difference and you will heal a lot faster.....Methadone is extremely difficult substance to get out of your body....The reason why methadone works so well is that it builds up in your liver and can be released at anytime when you body needs it....So, it is going to take a little time to get ALL of the methadone out of your system and allow your brain to start healing.....like I said, this will be difficult but doable....You just need to realize that it is going to take some time and truly I respect your efforts to quit.....good luck, keep posting, and gnarly and others have a lot of experience with methadone withdrawal and are great at giving advice.....God Bless!

HI welcome to the forum......we have had members jump off as high as 120mg being forced off it it not pritty but its doable....the recommended way is to taper down....way down to below 10 jumping off at a high dose is brutal and should only be done if being forced out of the program....I emphasize with you I was on 150 and wanted off it took me 8 1/2 mo to taper down and the withdrawal was still substantial but not as bad as those that are at the higher levels
I have a dew questions that will help me answaer your question a bit better.....how long have you been on it?? and how long at that dose ?/? we dont post taper plans in the open forum but your clinic should be able to help you with that...I hate seeing people strung out on this stuff but I hate it even more to see people make the foolish mistake of jumping to high....methadone is a powerful drug you will see as you taper....coming off it if you been on it a wile can take a wile to recover if you on it a short time recovery is quicker we can get into this after you answer the questions I will look for you post later on......Gnarly
