We all have issues and no one is asking you to leave. I think we just are concerned that you keep asking the same thing over and over and then you are getting yourself worked up and anxious and that is not healthy for you. Sometimes too much information isn't a good thing. In your case looking at this situation from the outside its best you listen to ONE person and that be your doctor. We are all addicts here and that we all have in common. We are your friends, just worried about ya that's all. ((hugs))

Bkitty is absolutely right John, and I've told you the same thing.  Your obsessive thoughts are not allowing you to think rationally through this process, you are overanalyzing everything.  

You really need to seek some help for this...you know that as well.  The more you continue seeking answers and asking the same question all over the web, you're only throwing gas on the fire that is your anxiety.

Also, your anxiety is keeping you from doing the right thing where your health is concerned...you were recommended to have an angiogram for a failed stress test and didn't, due to anxiety.  This is affecting your life negatively John.  That's something you should hacve had done right away.

PLEASE seek some help with this anxiety.  There's really nothing more we can tell you....we've been over the same thing so many times...your anxiety is not allowing you to accept the info.

Good luck to you dear.

Hey there! I see your still struggling with this. I think its time to go back to the psych doctor and tell him you need this anxiety/OCD addressed. I think you are doing yourself more harm than good at this point. I know he wanted to wait till you were weaned off but I think you need an intervention. Please just listen to the doctors at the clinic. Everyone is different. Take care of yourself. ((hugs))

John, you're doing just fine...the clinic is tapering you nice and slowly.  This is why I said to stop the online searching, all you're doing is confusing yourself and causing more anxiety.

You'll get a thousand different opinions when it comes to this kind of thing.

Whats going on , i would like to ask a question if ok? i met this dude on topix another methadone site, any ways i told him what was going on with me. he said im withdrawling first he said stop decreaseing for now. o ya hes been drug free for two thousand something days, off of methadone. he said methadone shouldnt be more than 10 per cent of a dose. at one time or faster than 10 to 14 day intervals. he said i defintely put myself into withdrawls that i shouldnt feel the way i feel. he said if i continue the current rate it will get worse. so what should i do , i dont know how much worse it can get?
