I went from 80mg to 0 in 4 weeks which was very foolish. It was pure hell and sleep deprevation is only one of the problems in kicking methadone. After about 90 days I would say I was back to normal. This is one tricky narcotic which with myself had emotional problems which I never did have and do not have now.Best of luck is all I can say.

I'm also sorry about your son. I have been in MMT for over seven years. Methadone enabled me to get off the street and get my life back. I am now a responsible stay home father of three. I own my home and am active in my community (volunteering).

"If you find self-reform too hard

In spite of your intense desire

For lack of firmness to discard

The habits that stink of the mire,

There is no reason to despair,

Try what you can time and again,

Beseech your Maker to repair

The faults and you in strength will gain."

From Part II of ACCELERATING BRAIN EVOLUTION on my channel.

@Palfium66 Methadone was invented by a Swiss scientist. Later, methadone was called "Dolophine" or "Dolofin" as a conjunction of two words: DOLOR (A unit of pain) and FINI (the end): The end of pain.

It is a long-acting opioid whose metabolic half life is 36 hours on the average. For some this metabolizes faster. This is one of the reasons why it takes a very long time to detox off this substance.

@carolkack I know people who have been saved by going into a methadone program and working with the doctor and counselor and not "double-dosing" on it. I tried to get some addicts into a recovery through methadone and then to NA. Those who would not take me seriously ended up dead or in prison. There is a fear that "the government will know if I register myself". My answer is that the government will find out about you sooner rather than later the way you are going.

Contact NAMA, they do MMT Advocacy and can help. Can you get on med coupons? If you have to drive to find a doc or clinic do it cuz w/out the methadone you are almost guaranteed to relapse Washington state has both cash pay and med. coupons so does Ca. If your serious youll do whatever it dtakes. Please don't go cold turkey on Methadone

Methadone has quite literally saved my life. Before I was on the street , doing what one does to support h habit. Very unhealthy because due to the illiegality , one never knows the purity or exact contents of what youre shooting. and thae black tar here in Seattle just destroys your veins in no time. Now that I'm on a stable dose of methadone I have no symptoms of withdrawl and no synptoms of being high, so, I can work , drive, eat, sleep. I sometimes miss the rush'es but never go back.
