how long does it take to get off methadone after 15 yrs of use

WOW....I don't think I'm equiped to even attempt to try and give you an idea of how long....I do know that for all of those years of use, there is an enormous amount of methadone  still stored in your body as it has not had a chance to detox...and I know it will most likely take a few years to taper down from if not longer...check out FLaddicts journal....please keep posting...

How much are you on?  Wow, 15 years...Well, the vitamin supplements are very important as is a good tapering plan.  Methadone has such a long half life (I am sure you know all about it) - people have gone ct...but I would rather taper.
How soon are you hoping to accomplish this?  I started detoxing from 110mg in Aug.'07 - today I dosed @ 25mg...(and counting...)
Good luck and keep posting!

click my name and in my profile journal there is an article from a doc who has detoxed hundreds of methadone addicted people with the help of OTC supplements. There is also alot of good info in that article.
