Back strain treatment on the program!  It's is an extremely hard addictionDrug abuse and dependence to kick, if I was told of the long term effects of Methadone, I would have just gone cold turkey and tried to kick it myself.  Anyway, what I wanted to say to you is because you are now on such a low dose now the amount you are still reducing at will be too much too soon.  Take it slowly.  Even reduce .5 of a ml (2.5mg) or less if it's possible in Canada.  Good luck Ruffles and keep smiling!

Before I bother to post a long comment, is anyone reviewing this page?  Is anyone out there to help someone going through withdrawalDelirium tremens?  Please post if you are out there!!

Hi everyone

My name is Neil and I have been on the Methadone program for about 8 years. A year ago I decided I wanted to be free and I started to reduce. My initial dose was 80mg and I was coming off at 2mg a week. When I got down to about 15mg I changed that to 1mg a week. Im now down to 10mg and I am about to attempt to come off. It's taken about a year. They don't give you alot of help here in New Zealand so you basically have to help yourseld if you enjoy sleepingSleeping difficulty and feeling kind of normal. They have given me Clonidine which I find helpful. Of course, nobody wants to suffer and I am quite anxious about the whole thing but eventually I guess you have to biteAnimal bite

welcome to the forum! there will always be room for just one more

addict, so come on in. you might try posting a little closer to

the top. it is real easy to get overlooked down here in the base-

ment. just jump in on a thread close to the top - don't worry

if the thread you use doesn't apply. it sounds like you've had a

real long go at getting off methadone. BEST OF LUCK! the last 10

mgs. seem to be real rough for most of the people who post here.

i hope to see you post to us real soon...i need everyone this

forum has to offer.

I have just stopped going to my methadone clinic. I went there for a year and a half. After about 6 months i got fed up with the way i was being treated. And i decided to stop on my own. I was at 90mg at the time. I started to buy methadone from a friend, and was taking between 20 and 40mg. I was awful. I felt so sickSick sinus syndrome everyday. My son was two years old, and i just couldn't keep going on like that.  so i decided to go backBack pain - low
Back strain treatment to a different clinic, which was alot better.  I went up to 60mg, and started to slowly go down. WHen i got to 40mg, i decided to go down 3mg a week. That was ok. When i got down to 15mg i started to go down 1mg a day. In the morning and at night i started feeling sickSick sinus syndrome again, but it was not as bad as before.  I have now been without methadone for 3days. But I have absolutely no energy.  I do not have very bad stomachAbdominal pain

Sleep, and eat. I dont have much of an appetite. It is hard to work, and then come home and take care of my son. But i can deal with it. I just tell myself it cant get any worse than it is.  I decided to go down alot faster that most, only because i was tired of being dependent on something everyday, and it was hard to pay for every month.

Back strain treatment some of your strength everyday.    My advice to you would be to try to go down slowly, you probably wont feel any different untill you are down to about 20mg or so. From what i have heard from other people who have gone through methadone withdrawalDelirium tremens, no matter how slow you go down, you will feel some of the WD. If you go down slowly though, the WD will not be nearly as bad.

Drug-induced hypertension but methadone got me. I tried quiting cold turkey. This was imposable for me to do. I felt suicidal when I got sickSick sinus syndrome it hurt so bad. I tried to ween myself off of it but that didnt work. As soon as I started feeling sickSick sinus syndrome I was backBack pain - low
Back strain treatment up to my 60 millagram dose. My habbit started afecting my wallet and my familly. I knew I had to get off this stuff somehow. I went to the emergeny room. They seemed like they didnt want to help me. They told me to see my familly doctor. So thats what I did next. I went to my doctor. They were very suportive. They talked me into telling my wife about my problem and even came to my house to help me talk to her about it. At this time I havent had any methadone in two days so I was going through withdraw. I had enough. My wife was so pissed. But she calmed down and was very supportive. I started calling rehab facilities. Most were full. I found a rehab. called bowling GreenGreen tea. It was 5 hours away. Somehow I drove myself there and checked in. To be honest I thought it was a **** hole and I wanted to leave. I was realy sickSick sinus syndrome by now. It took another day or two untill they dosed me with 30 millagrams of methadone. They started tapering me down 5 milligrams a day. I felt like **** but it wasnt that bad. I could handle it. To be honest I checked myself out of rehab after 6 days.I couldt take being away from my familly. I just wanted to go for Detox. I have not had anything in about 14 days. I stopped counting. I did not get very sickSick sinus syndrome. I am having alot of trouble sleepingSleeping difficulty. I have crazy dreams. My leggs hurt. I have some of the crepy crawleys. But I feel a little better every day.I went backBack pain - low
