Well I have no knowledge about methadone, but I do understand this is a very strong drug with long half life, which mean, even you stop taking today the drug will still be in your body for up to 72hours?? I think so..
Well since that's the case, your withdrawal symptoms might most probably be the day after depends on individual,
But strongly believe that for this drug, slow tapering will be a wiser choice., I have seen above member snowflake previous post before, she might be off good help to you and also another member hopefully he does see this, Weaver71..
As I mention I am no expert in this but I will send a prayer for you and your husband in detox recovery,
Wishing you all the best, don't give up! Keep trying! Your day will be here soon!
Cherie
Lot of love

Thank you snowflake. Will defintely want to hear what vitamins i should take. I also heard that a high fiber diet will increase the detox and will also ease the withdrawl symptoms. Now are you completly off of methadone? or are you taking low doses to wing off? and how much were you taking before you quit? also i have heard that methadone withdrawl is worse then herion withdrawl and that the withdrawls can last up to a few weeks to a few months. is this true?
I agree with Gnarly.....go down to single digits, but going below 5mg can be tough for some people.....when it gets to the time that you quit, let me know and Ill tell you what vitamins, ect to take to feel better. I just quit methadone 5 days ago!!!!! you can do it too good luck
