Hey! i was up to 100mg Methadone for a year, then cut down 10mg every 2 weeks. i got to 40mg and quit it cold turkey. Im now on day 21 without methadone. and i tell you it feels great not to have to rely on TOXIC methadone ****, i dont crave NOTHING anymore. the first few weeks for me were the worst. No Sleep, diarrea, and body aches are worst. methadone takes all the human out of you FOR REAL lol. i feel more like a human being now that im off that ****. Id suggest doing what you wanna do. Do you wanna stay on methadone? if not then just get rid of it. Ive beaten all that garbage. you can too. stay thinking straight, and postive. and do whatcha gotta do. when i first came here on like day 2 or 3, some kind people gave me this link   http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Addiction/Methadone-Opiate-w-d/show/437?cid=76  ; Explains quite a bit. If u need anyone to talk to just msg me.
