I would like to know about getting off the methadone. my bf was on 70 mg a day for like 5 years. He recently has been going down 2mg a week and is now down to 36 mg. I am concerned about the lower dosages and want to help him to have a smooth transition to off of it. Please contact me as soon as you can. Thank you!
Please let me know how you got off of methadone work little to no withdrawal. I am very interested.
Thank you
Can you please let me know how I can do this "If you need any information on herbs, supplements and other things that will help your boyfriend quit with little to no withdrawal, do let me know. I understand your post was a year ago, I only hope this helps and was not too late. Good luck!"
Please help me to help my husband get off methadone with little to no withdrawal. As we want a baby and I am currently taking fertility meds and have done well with them so now we think my husband may have an issue now. Thanks Amber

What herbs and supplements can I take to have no withdraws from the methadone? I am on 85 milagrams and been going to the clinic for about two months and already doing my decrease. I am 23 with no kids and my fiancee is 33 with 3 kids so she is not the issue, could my prior drug use messed my fertility up or her drug use after her last kid. My fiancee is also on methadone 70 milagrams please get back to me with any info trying to get pregnant thank you
My husband has been on methadone for almost 6 years and I'm on my 3rd pregnancy (mc in july last year) and our second baby should be here in May. She's perfectly healthy and so is our son. We got pregnant in the first month of trying each time too and i have pcos myself. So, no, methadone doesn't really effect male fertility. But my husband is only on methadone and doesn't smoke cigarettes or weed, both of which do effect male fertility.
I have a boyfriend on methAdone treatment and we are very interested in what you used to get off of it!!
I was just reading your post there,Have u heard of Narcotics Annoymous? i myself have been detoxing aswell as going to meetings to remain positive,and the support is Amazing.Ive bn on methadone most of my life,bt nw only on 5mls... But nw id like to knw if i can have kids...
UPDATE, I responded to this post over a year ago and I wanted to note my semen analysis results to date. On methadone I was a terrible 2 percent critical morphology, 19 percent forward motility and 1.2 mls volume with a count of 19 million per ml. I quit taking methadone and it took quite a few months to improve, but my last semen analysis showed improvement in all areas. I am now 2 mls volume, critical morphology is 7 percent(most people are around 4 percent), 50 percent forward motility, and a count of 39 million per ml. So, in my case, methadone was a fertility killer. With the numbers I started out with, our only hope would have been ICSI. There could be people who can conceive on methadone, but it makes it extremely difficult, especially if you are older.
Would very much like to know about any help with supplements available. My son is taking methadone and would like to have a child any help would be great. Thank you
Yeah. I would love to know as well.... There is no way unless u block your nerves somehow...
Hi
My boyfriend is on 80ml and has been on methadone for 3 years and wants to get off naturally and on his own. Any suggestions that I could do to help him!
My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for at least three years with no luck. I have two children from a previous marriage but have yet to been able to get my new wife pregnant. I've been on liquid methadone for four years now. I've always wondered if I was infertile because of the meds. Hope that's the case because I've been off the methadone for four days now and am wanting a baby. For all who are asking how to get off the methadone with no withdrawals, it's easy. It take time but it's worth it. I've gone to a clinic which regulates your dose. Two years ago I started at 60 mgs. Just slowly ween yourself in a comfortably way until your at about 15 mg. then go down only 1 mg every two to three weeks. Once I got down to 4 mgs I slowed it down even more and went down one a month. Once I was on the last few days of 1 mg I decided to stop going and have not had one withdrawal symptom besides sneezing. I sleep I eat I am feeling normal again! The most important thing to do though is to completely lose contact with anyone who has the drugs you were addicted too, if any. Have positive people in your life and stay busy. Work your ass off. It'll pass the time. Good luck. Now it's time for me to get my girl pregnant!
My boyfriend and I are on methadone been on it for about 7 mths now. We just started trying to have a baby and I was wondering if there is anyway we can convieve on methadone? He is on 100mg and I am 95mg. I am freaking out and very sad about it!
Hi, I got pregnant by by husband who was on methodone pretty quickly, at that point he still was to ashamed to admit he was on it, the baby was fine but you are both on quite a high dose and I'm not judging as I've been here myself so I don't want it to come across this way at all! However I think what GBjohn said just above is brilliant, try to come off the meth completely, some midwives will look down on you and you want to enjoy the best time of your life and not feel like the medical team are in some way being snotty towards you plus you don't want your baby being born an addict to. You're baby will have to be put on meds when born so you won't even be able to take your little angel straight home with you which would be awful for you, depending which country your in will depend which meds your baby will be put on, some are kept in neonatal on morphine and weaned off or on methadone then weaned off and are born in pain as they need the drugs just like you do. My husband was the one on meth so I should have been able to take my baby home straight away as I wasn't on it but I'd been put on fentanyl for a illness I have near the end of my pregnancy and she was born addicted, the guilt I felt was immense and the shame I felt was awful! This was 4 years ago now and I'd love another baby but I think for peace of mind, this time I'd use paracetamol max nothing else and my husband would be off the subutex he's now on. This way anything bad that occurs, like absolutely anything, even down to my baby having a cold, I know hand on heart that this time we did everything right and nothing can be our fault! The USA for example love to keep people on these highly addictive meds so you keep lining their pockets it's disgusting!
I wish everyone luck in their quest to be clean and to have babies, I have 6 and it's the best thing in the world as long as you have a few pennies otherwise it's dam tough!
