HI Mike I answered you first post but will always answer questions also....as for jumping off at hi doses ....people do it but its not recommended I know a women who jumped at 40 and wound up in icu for a week...I know your anxious but this is a race won by the tortus not the hare it is best to just tuff out the taper to the lowest dose possible 5ml
I believe would be ideal I know of people that have jumped at 20 and went thew 2 weeks of pure hell to get free of the stuff....I know of no one that has jumped from a high dose and recommends it...there a long time lady Kim 715 that jumped from 20 and said it was awful but after 2 weeks of hell she started to get better but she will be the first to tell you it was really bad for 2 weeks so my advise to you is just keep tapering go 10% every 72hr or whenever your body stabilizes and take it down to 5ml jumping off at any dose is ruff with methadone but I dont feel people really understand just how strong a drug this is until they quit taking it ...it is about a 7 day physical withdrawal at the end and thats jumping off at 1ml ....do what you think is best for you we will support what ever you decide to do ..all im trying to do is make it as pain less as possible for you good luck and God bless......Gnarly
There's a member here who's name is Gnarly_1. He will more than likely answer your post. He is a wealth of information and an all around great guy. He successfully tapered down from150ml of methadone. He has a pretty good formula that he got from a neonatal nurse that tapers babies off of methadone, oxy, heroin, etc. I'm pretty sure he will recommend not to jump off at 30mg. Many will say that's too high of a dose to go off of. I believe he recommends to go down to 5mg and then make the jump. I think he dropped 10% of his dose every 3 days.
I'll keep an eye on this post and if he doesn't notice it I will message him.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Best of luck to you!

Do NOT go cold turkey. Talk to the Dr./Clinic that is prescribing them. Going cold turkey off of Meth is a no-no.
