hey dude ...well your down to a jumping off point with the methadone....you could split your pills in 1/2 and taper some more but I feel the withdrawals at 5mg shouldn't be to bad just a few days of flu like symptoms ...I defently would do the withdrawals separate
and benzos your suppose to taper from maybe split your pill in 2 and take 1/2 for a few days just to be on the safe side keep posting with your progress and you will also find support here on the forum....good luck and god bless....Gnarly
i notice when coming off methadone that my muscles tend to feel very sore and spongy (for lack of a better term). that's from 10-40 mg per day, no taper. blessed be, sway
I'm not sure but don't think you are addictied to the attivan.It's short acting and since you miss days, that says a lot. The methadone WD shouldn't be too bad. I'm part of a methadone recovery blog and if send me a message with your e mail, I'll send the linc. all the best
Hey Renfield,
I can't help for the done but I can for the lorazepam..
It's a medium-long acting benzo and can not be stopped CT. You should go see the dr that Rx'ed it to you and establish a tapering plan. Fortunately you are not at a very high dosage...
Usually dr's would switch you to a long acting benzo like Valium and start the taper from there.
There's a site where you can really find some good accurate info, here's the link:

And here's an example of tapering plan:

If you need more info, please feel free to pm me or send me a note.
Best of luck to you. sophie.
Hi
As for the Lorazapam i carn't really help. I'm addicted 2 valluim & nitazipam big time, Well sayin that i have had no choic but 2 cut down as they are getting really hard 2 get. Not that i'm botherd coz like you they have no purpose enymore ( i just don't feel them )
As for the methadone there i can help, i'm on 100 ml daily & i hate it, But i'm on day 2 of havin no gear today
Your on 5 ml so ye you will feel a little sick, like you said you'll start 2 feel it after 24 hours, It can sometimes take up to 3 days to start wd from methadone, I don't no if enyone else has had this experiance with methadone, but when i went to jail it took 3 days for me to get sick,
Your sickness should last no more than a week i'd say, you'll feel lack of energy, mabey flu like, you want to be thankful you have keep't a lid on your use & are only on 5ml, Even if you stop 1 then the other so you don't get so sick,
What are Lorazapam ??? they are mentioned alot on this sight but iv never come across them is it coz i'm from the u.k & u.k docs are really stricked on giving benzo's on a script.
Enyway you seem focused so go 4 it & keep posing, iv been in this sight for years now & i find it so hard to get clean so does my partner. But we have to keep trying its all i can do. lv & luck nat xx
