I've been on methadone for 5 years. The first was illegal the last 4 legal, and I was on such a high amount it was ridiculous, My doctor wanted to go down 5 mg every two weeks, which was when I was going to clinic, but I recently lost my wife, who was taking methadone, and I want to say at 37 her failing condition had to do with the methadone, as someone referenced previously. That being said, I have a 4 year old to myself now and relized that being 'legally' doped up wasn't a solid environment and being on 370 mg a day and tapering 5 every two weeks, well you can see my time frame and it wasn't going to work. Well I go my last bottle 3 months ago, and mind you this was what I took every two weeks, and I'm down to5 mgs I probably did it to fast, because from what people are saying on this its true, I think you can go faster than 5 like I was thinking 10-15 mg every two weeks, I digress, I went down alot faster and am having a heck of a problem going completely off. I took a week of work off last week and to no avail the first 4 days weren't that bad, used some xanex and something called withdrawlez, which I'm still taking, but anyways by thursday I was doing the full restless legs but whole body syndrome and had to break down and take a quarter. I'm scared. I want off and yes patients is a virtue, but not when it comes to drugs in my pov. I think I'm gonna take everyones advice however now, hopefully not to late, and what I have just take as 5 mg a day till gone and try the whole diet better, and exercise; someone told me melotonine may help to which is just a vitamin, anyways; you wanted addict stories, here ya go! good luck to all that are trying to get off wouldn't wish the night jerks on my worst enemy!!!

Thank You! I am down to 6 milligrams, and once in a while I look at these posts, which I know that I should not! You have inspired me. I have always felt that I could do this, and it seems to get easier as I go down. I will keep your testimony to look at.
