    For me, I was at 120 for 15 years and came found slowly. 1-2 evert 2 or 3 weeks. I felt kinda shitty but every week it gets better. I'm on week 5 of being off and damn it's worth it. You all got this man!!! I wish I would have come found sooner.

      Hi there LADY J. I am about 10 years on 30 mg daily. I am now at 5mg and looking for some guidance going down further from here and what to expect from it. If you would be so kind to let me know what you think, I'd greatly appreciate it. ❤️

Been working full time for that whole time, but... its not something i wanna be on when im 50 in 3 years. I like that i function, i hate that i need to be here everyday to get it! ( the odd take away doesnt help, you cant go on holiday for 2 weeks). But i am on the way down monthly, i hope thats not toi long in between but i struggle once i get to around 40.

    Anyone that is new to methadone. I just went through it. Don’t go above 50mg-60mg! Every mg. Adds days or weeks to the withdrawals process. It’s easy to go up, very hard to go down. The instant I felt somewhat stabilized (12-14 days in) I dropped dose immediately. By 1 month in, I was dropping my dose every day I went to the clinic except weekends. Only cause you can’t. Jumped at 4mg. I didn’t even use my last take home dose. 2nd day I took my kids to Disney on ice, 3rd day I was doing chores around the house, 4th went to work. Sleeping 3-4 hours and minimal discomfort. Don’t go for the methadone high. It’s not worth it. And even at 45-50 you will eventually catch a buzz once you detox of fent or whatever opioid you were on.

    I've never experienced withdrawal like this. This is not a drug to be played with. If you ain't shooting heroine, then don't ever take methadone!!!

But I just got so sick of going t the doc to the chemist I had to end it. Keep fighting bro you'll get there. I'm still dealing with serious head issues. In the states yous have access to suboxone and Kratom which help. Doctors in ireland just prescribe benzodiazepines/zopiclone/ and other meds in serious amounts.

    I’m a former fentanyl user who was able to quit using by taking methadone and then tapered off of the methadone through a clinic. 15 months ago I was at 110mgs and I’m now at 2mgs. I have been going through it lately. I feel like a walking zombie and have MAJOR restlessness in my stomach and legs which is causing insomnia. I can’t sleep, I’m depressed, and I feel like I’m being weighted down by every limb all of the time. If you can avoid going to a mg such as 110 or anywhere near that I would do so. The clinic tried to get me up to 140mg for the longest time. They push and push for you to go higher and don’t tell you about the repercussions… get off and stay off this crap will all you’ve got. Get clean. Stay clean and don’t put your body through anything like this again.

      I'm currently at 70 and hope to not go any higher. Drawn the line in the sand so to speak. I was 40 years old when I started (illegally buying from a friend who got 150/day & had earned his monthly take homes- he was referred for pain management because of lymphoma). Back then my tolerance was so low I could take 5 and it would last for 24 hrs. That was 12 years ago, I'm 52 now and seems like I can't live without it. I work at a very fast paced truck stop QT and if I didn't have Methadone, I couldn't work. At least I can remain a productive member of society and not be on something illegal. Although, I know eventually my kidneys are going to start to fail because of the long term use of the methadone just like my Daddy's did. His cray cray Dr. had prescribed him 110 a day for 15 years.

      Why do they do this? I don’t understand why they push you to going up higher and higher. They keep saying well we just don’t want you to fall back on ADDICTION and the higher you go in the longer that you stay on it is the more likely you won’t be addicted. But I’m like this is an opioid. You’re just replacing one addiction for the other . They started me at 120 mg. I am currently at 30 mg because I insisted that I not take the dosage for three days. I basically disappeared on them for three days so when I came back, they couldn’t put me at 100 mg they had to start me at the lowest dose. And then I just refuse to go out from there. I feel like shit but like I don’t wanna take this crap anymore. I’m tired of being stuck to my house because you can’t Take a dose anywhere but at the clinic. I’m tired of the phone calls, P testing, all of it it’s just driving me nuts. I’d like to travel. I haven’t been able to leave my house for a year now because of this shit. I’m over it and I feel like these clinics are damn near, or just as bad as the drug itself.

They all looked us as junkies and a steady source of income. when going to the clinic I was constantly told I needed to increase my dose. to a addict it like, "more drugs, well sure!" had me up to 150 when I was honestly fine at 40 or 50. dwn to 20/25 now and I hope to be done by the first of the year. thinking about subs but I hear it's just as bad as methadone to kick. idk... stay off the pills kids.

      @Jimi Cicchini I agree, if I knew how hard methadone would be I would have just dealt with the 1-2 weeks of withdrawal from H or oxycodone. Methadone half-life is long compared to oxy and H. If you go to a methadone clinic then your pretty much just a policy number and they want to charge your insurance for every dose, meeting, and urine test. It’s crazy how those places work. If they wanted to help those addicted then it should be free or at least very cheap. Not $20 a day for meds, $50 a hour for counseling, and $15 per urine test.

Was on it for 2 years b4 I started coming down bc you need time to get stable and allow your brain to heal from all the damage the short acting opiates caused. It's absolutely critical not to take even 1 single vicodin or any other opiates with your methadone or else you already phukked yourself and are going to make your tolerance go sky high, making dosing down feel like hell. Your body gets used to going down to the point you begin to crave going down. As weird as it sounds. At least that's how it feels when you do it as per the clinic's advice.

    John Bobswoth, let me tell you this. If you know NOTHING about experiencing something, i suggest maybe NOT giving advise people about it. I had SO MANY counselors like you who knew NOTHING about addiction and withdrawls, save what they learned from a few classes in community college. Last year I had a little girl, 19 years old, running my program and trying to advise me on addiction that she has zero experience with whatsoever. Same thing goes with my current councilor. This man has never been an addict. I wish there were some better resources for councelors for addicts. My best councelor was an addict for 15 years and she been put THROUGH THE WRINGER. Her advice help[ed me more than anyone. These mehtadone clinics just look at us as a paycheck and it doesnt seem like they really care about getting us off the stuff...

      Methadone whitdraws last for months up to a years ..You get cold turkey in a high dose ( Big mistake) all i can tell You ,if You are really clean for 16 days ,get the vivitrol shot ,that Will help You ,whit the cravings plus if You try to get high ,vivitrol Will block anything You use ..make your homework about vivitrol first and then make a descion on it ok..btw , don't use any opioids now cus You Will prolong the whitdraws ok...i use methadone for 19 years SO i know what i Say ok... good luck to You.

      My psychiatrist retired since he could no longer prescribe without the governments approval . For the most part those who must have the chemical must be attached to a clinic, which is to essentially loose your freedom. The CDC has published guidelines which is worth a good read or two IMO. I chose after taking the meds for pain, 70mg to stop after a short…much to short tapering. My advice is if you must…find a program. If you desire to stop…find a hospital. I suffered for days which became weeks and ultimately months. Brain chemistry is nothing to take lightly. I f I had to do it again I would find a hospital program but I would rather see he’ll freeze over. Don’t start and if you are currently using get off before the government forces you. Good luck.
