THis week I got it down to less than 30 mg. day
Now I want to quit completely
Everything I read tells me its not so.
I can take the issues in my back
I can not take the mental anguish of taking this medication
I need to know if its possible and how long it will take to feel somewhat better
I have heard its 4 days to get medicine out of system
I can go to pain med and have him put me on suboxen but do not want to trade addictions.
Just to know it can be done is encouraging.
I hope you are okay now.

I tapered myself off methadone.I started at 40mg went up to 80mg then over a year cut my dosage smaller and smaller untill i hit 20mg then stopped completely at 10 it wasn't to bad except that I feel lethargic.I have no energy and do want to do much.I should of winged my self off more slowly to let my natural dopamine levels to restore themselves.I know that opiates mess up your dopamine receptors.But it can be done just take your time.If its been 1 1/2 year you can take a little time to completely stop.Good luck too you,You can do it.
