I hear you on this..I am 18 days clean and i feel like theres nothing to do anymore--But thats the drugs that took away all your motivation and drive to live life. Once all your levels balance out (serotonin and dopamine) you'll be back to normal and should enjoy the simple things in life once again. It takes time..You just need to stay busy and keep your mind of opiates--Find a hobby, read a book, go to the movies..Thats how i need to do it atleast...Good luck--Stay strong--God bless

Maybe you are focusing in on your taper to much? Some methadone addicts who are doing a taper begin to almost become obsesive with their taper, its the first thing they think of prior to going to bed at night & the first thing they think of when they wake up, as addicts this is a form of our addiction, we tend to be addicted to being addicted, these can be the ones who find themselves struggling in thier taper, I,ve heard of this happening alot, so If this is your case, try to find things that will fill in the gap while your doing your taper, such as going to a movie or walking or finding a hobby, anything that will entertain your brain while tapering will work so long as its positive.
