PLEASE stop calling METHADONE..METH..there is a HUGE difference and unfortuantly many people get the two confused!  

5-10 mg is extremely low..I have been on 150mg a day for 8 years and have a very successful, high paying career and high functioning life. I however have worked my program to the letter and plan to do a VERY VERY slow detox (over a year or more) when my daughter graduates. This is MY PLAN and works for ME!  Good luck to all!

2 mgs of xanax is alot/i would be a bit more concerned with that than the 5 mg of methadone...that does not seem to be ur concern tho...start 2.5mg of methadone in the evneing for a few days and flush the rest
