slow methadone detox
Anyone out there have any experience in detoxing slow from methadone? I have been detoxing 1 mg. every other week. I was on 65 mg for over 15 years! I was doing ok until I got to 6 mg. now the old familiar withdrawal symptoms are returning. I could use some feedback on this please...
So are you off now? Explain the taper to me from 5mg on. I am on holding at 6mg right now and will be going to 5 soon. I started getting very uncomfortable at 6mg. so I am holding too hard to go to work etc. Maybe I should do this even slower? Temm me more, please...

I have been taking 60mg of methadone for over 2 years for pain.
Thru workout treatments the pain has subsuided. I have been tapering off at the rate of 5mg per week. When I hit 5 mg I had a little problem but slowed the taper. I got this schedule from a friend and off the web from someone who was on it for 6 yrs.

Good news (I think) for those out there that are looking for doctors to prescribe bup. I went to a website that has a doctor locator for your state and found 20 physicians that supposedly prescribe it and one of them is right in my city!

Here again, this thread shows that everyone is totally different.
I transferred directly onto Bup. I went from 50 mg. to 5mg. in 3 weeks, and went directly onto 8 mg. of bup, spaced out at 2 mg. 4 times per day without any sign of a withdrawal symptom.
And, I've successfully tapered to 4 mg. which was a very easy transition for me. Lowering one dose every week.
I do think it's an individual thing, since I know of other people who have done the same thing without any problems.
The only difference with me that I can see, is that I was only on meth for one month. That may be the factor that made the transition so easy for me?
