should I quit methadone now?

[snowflake24]

I have read a lot about methadone and withdrawals on this sight. I guess i am obsessed with figuiring out if I should just stop now or continue titrating, and I have heard that at 13mg or 1mg the withdrawals would be the same. is this true? Im still going down 3mgs a week, and I refuse to slow down, even though the withdrawals are becoming worse. I woke up at 330-with the chills and hot and cold flashes, which in turn put me in a baaaaaaaad mood. Im starting to think that if I keep going down 3mgs a week, the withdrawals will intensify, so should I just quit now? Is 13mgs methadone a lot compared to other pills? Im sorry I keep talking about it, but I am becoming ocd about it because I cant make a decision. I am completely mentally prepared....i bough opiate ease withdrawal, no clue if it will work, and tomorrow im going to the health store to buy protein and other things I have read about.
