I am down to 2.5 milligrams of done.  Staying here for two weeks then down to one for two weeks. Hoping for minimal withdrawals.  Is my taper at a good speed?

Hey Girkl  well congrats in 18 days clean!!!!! your doing ausum.....this drug is very cyclic and just when you think you got it beat it comes back with a vengeance  so it is not uncommon to have symptoms 18 days out......your recovery has been amazing for most people you usually dont see the light for 60 to 90 days the next critical step is aftercare so look into it  it is ez getting clean  it  takes work to stay that way  keep posting for support

Day 17 off of methadone. Feeling a lot of pain today so I am moving slow.  Sneezing is my only symptom left.  Life is good .  I feel normal no brain fog. All in all doing pretty well....peace

Today is day 14 off methadone.  Went to my mental health doctor yesterday.  He gave me names of some therapists.  It is a good morning got a lot done for me. No sneezing attacks yesterday.  Maybe that's over.  Posting everyday helps me document my progress. Any hoot have a good day.

Today is day 13. I slept good. Got up and turned on the news. Six people died Sunday of heroin overdose in Philadelphia.  It really made me think how methadone saved this ex junkies life.  That my journey began over ten years ago and I successfully transitioned off methadone. I am not that same person I changed. One day at a time. I feel good and move a bit slow from pain but it's doable.

Congrats mate, day 13 is HUGE , advil helps for the random back pains, or a nice heating pad, just dont fall asleep on it like i did. ouch. You so got this man, start thinking about aftercare its important, i use a therapist some use aa/na , but some form of supprt is needed. i come here alot. Reading others stories keeps me focused. keep posting.

Thank you for the advice.  Love the heating pad story lol. I think I will see a therapist also.  I am going to my mental health doctor this morning to tell him that I am off methadone. I will get some names of good  therapists from him.  I also come to this site daily.

Today is day twelve.  Woot woot!!  No complaints . I slept eight hours having my coffee.  Grateful beyond belief.  Taking this one day at a time.
