Done with Methadone...need suggestions

[Lala1214]

I'm ready to get off of Methadone and need some suggestions. 6mos ago I was on 150mgs(to much), and as of tomorrow I will be on 19mgs I go down 1mg a wknd and so far so good. I'd like to speed the process up, I really want off this craps! Don't get me wrong it saved my life but I'm ready to move on start school and have a career. I take Clonidine to help me sleep. Is there anything else I can do to help do this faster in the easiest way possible? Is there a good time to just jump off without going all the way down? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any experience with switching to suboxene or vivitrol?

hI and welcome to the forum....well I to was on 150mg for almost 7yrs  I detoxed fast but when you get to the last 20 you need to go slow  your plane seams solid just keep putting one foot in front of the other  the goal here is 5......I tapered to one and tapering below that is misrable.....right not get up to walmart and pick up a 3 in 1 calcium magnesum and zinc   take 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner   this will greatly cut down on the amount of withdrawals you will feel....it is ez to go from 100 to 20 then it is from 20 down  it is all about blood serum level and the amount it takes to hold you over  keep posting here we have a lot of x/methadonians that can help

U can taper  atleast 3-4 mugs more a week but excersise and yoga are KEY to success
I did it with no pills although my sleep was a bit off for a few days
It worked and I stayed clean
Good luck
Btw, colonodines are great but don't take the money for too long a period as they can also be addictive
