I have been on methadone for ten years and just got back on it after staying off of it for a year. I didn't go about detoxing off of it in the right way. I suggest that you make sure you are ready and you will know if you are, but don't lie to yourself. Next is when tapering down, do it as slow as you possibly can. That was one of the most important things in the success stories that I have witnessed. I am going to try and do it right this time. Good luck in your fight against this demon.

THE GOVT JUST WANTS THE MONEY!!! I HAVE BEEN ON METHADONE FOR ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AND NEVER WENT A DAY WITHOUT PILLS FOR PROBABLY 6. AT THE END I WAS DOWN TO 4 10MG A DAY. 2-10MG'S IN THE MORNING AND 2 AT NIGHT. I REFUSED TO GO TO THE CLINIC B/C OF THE SHAM. I AM NOW ALMOST A WEEK CLEAN AFTER TAPERING. I WENT FROM 4 A DAY, TO 3 A DAY TO 2 A DAY AND THEN JUST TOOK IT LIKE A MAN. I FEEL PEOPLE LOOK FOR THE EASY WAY OUT WHEN YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF. SUBOXENE IS ADDICTIVE ALSO. TRY AND CUT IN 1/4'S

Good luck with getting off Methadone. And how do you do it? One day at a time that all we have ever had. Make a daily visit to a NA or AA meeting to replace clinic visits. Find people who can relate to you and you will hear your story. You are going to be having alot of feelings coming up along with the physical symptoms. So you show up at a NA meeting or if in a large enough community a MA meeting and ask for help, phone numbers from women...call 3 women a day. Get a sponsor. JC

Methadone was created by Nazi scientists in WW2.Totally synthetic cuz Hitler was bombing the fuck outta Europe and Nazis didnt have a steady opiate supply.It is THE MOST WICKED opiate to withdrawl from...they dont call it "liquid handcuffs"without good reason.Withdrawls last over a month so my advice is do what you have to-but research what your getting into..its not the flowers&rainbows happy perfect cure all thats its sold as...its another ADDICTION..and a worse one at that!

LOOK UP IBOGAINE> type in "ibogaine methadone"" just those 2 words, then watch as many videos as you can of people who did the ibogaine treatment on methadone and what they felt like after words. and remember this: no matter how much you feel nervous/unsure about the effects of the ibogaine (like possible negative side effects), think of how HORRIBLE opiates in general are for your body; one dose of ibogaine is nothing compared to the side effects heroin/methadone on your life/body/mind/etc...=]

Thank you pPaul
Girly, if you slipped up 6 months ago, you are not ready to get off. You talk like you're this old pro. Trust me on this one. Stay on your med. Stop talking to the "friends" that use/sell. Stay away from druggies and people who even look like they could be other wise you will be right back on it. Sorry if thats not what you want to hear but it's that truth. Wait till you have years under you belt and you have no thoughts at all about it... Or think you got it and crash

I'm on day 40 of no methadone (I was on 90 ml for just over a year), as well as taking myself off of many years of Ritalin and then adderral and I'm feeling AMAZING! Zero drugs (prescriptions included). My method is not for everyone and I'm not going to post here what I did bc I don't recommend everyone do it my way. I will say that the most important thing I did though and that was refusing to be in a state of fear. If you're scared you may not want to stop yet. Get to a place of inner peace
