My husband has been taking methadone for about a year now for pain. He only takes 10 mg (5mg in the am and 5 mg at pm) the whole day. He has been trying to get it out of his system with no luck. He can get away of not taking it for a day or two but after that, he ends up taking 10 mg right away. His pain doctor just continues to refill his meds monthly and I feel that he has no plan of taking him off it. Can you suggest a way how I can help him from home?
Thank you,
R.
It's not easy get off methadone I was on it for a year finally got off it . Maybe he can try to taper it 10 ; 9 '8 and so on or he might to to talk to doctor to give him something for withdrawal symptoms. Or if not get into rehab that how I got off it . Good luck
