I have never been so happy Good luck on the taper ,,,,,James
hello I am on the done too,and am tapering,down to seven a day now.Only started at 30,but dropped slowly and it kept w/d to a minimum. It takes some time to make it easier.Will jump off at 3 to 5.Not sure yet.Gotta really watch emotions,especially the temper. karl
Good Luck to ya.
HI welcome to the forum...well your dose is low and you haven't been on it to long
that is one of the more important things is time on it so taper off as soon as you can
as for the taper it is uncomfortable but very doable..the physical side effects lasted me a good solid 7 days and minor aches and pains into 2 weeks its the mental part that takes a wile to where off...I was on it for 6 1/2yrs so my withdrawal was hard yours shouldent be as bad ...you wont be on that high of dose or that long but expect a month of no energy
that was one of my worst symptoms the depression verys from person to person but if it goes past 90days get help with an antidepressant...I dont think there is a comfortable way to taper off methadone get comfortable with the fraze "you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile...wile tapering I experenced withdrawals here and there along the way for some its no big deal for others its a grind you wont know till your start doing it your taper is relatively slow so your side effects should be mild...try not to get discouraged and congrads on getting off the smack ..good luck and God bless ..Gnarly
