HI Nick I got off methadone 5mo ago  ...I was at 150ml for 6 1/2yrs I did a relatively fast
taper it took 8 1/2 mo but thats 1/2 the time it would take at the clinic....I used a formula given to me by a neo/natal nurse that brings babys off heroin methadone oxy ext...
it goes like this 10% drop in dose every 72hr ...it worked good for the most part
but sometimes you just have to wait a little longer like a day or 2 extra to get use to the dose ...this will bring you off as comfortably as possible with the least withdrawals
I took it all the way down to 1ml but dont recommend that ...jump off at 5ml because tapering below that is miserable and my final withdrawal was no worst then tapering below 5ml....expect a 7 day withdrawal methadone is know for it but at lower doses
it is very doable ....pm me if I can be of any more help good luck and God bless....

We need to leave the methadone tapering plans to the experts. Monkeying with peoples dosages on here is dangerous at best.
