Great Job!!! We need to hear more stories like yours!

Thankyou for making me smile..I will still be here for you know matter what i got going on...same for everyone else....(((HUGS)))
That is great news,Congragulations
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Penelope is officially on Day1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great day! You have worked so hard for this. I am so proud of you!
36 hours is really Day2, isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Penelope!! I quit mine at 6mg just stopped going and it was not bad. I had a little discomfort for the first month or so but nothing like pain pill withdrawal. Insomnia is probably the worst side effect of no methadone, but it will pass. I would take tylenol PM and it worked somewhat. But really many congrtaulations to have those liquid handcuffs finally off, don't look back keep moving forward cause life is so much sweeter without that bourdon on your mind!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!That's great. Just keep moving forward and keep your mind set on how good your life will be again.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
That is really great! Be proud and keep pushing forward!! Whoooo-hooo!!!
Good for you! What difference would that one last lousy mg have made anyway?
I know you can do it!
Congratulations!!! That is such an accomplishment. I do have a question, and hope you don't mind. I have always wondered this about Methadone, but never wanted to ask a Dr. LOL. I understand that it comes in pill form and liquid form. What is the difference between the prescribing. Such as, why would a Dr. prescribe you the pill form instead of the liquid form, or why would they prescribe the liquid instead of the pill? I understand Hydrocodone comes the same way. I know they prescribe it in liquid form, the actual name is Hycet, and then you have the regular pill form. Just curious....
Your on your way ! Congradulations ! Your gonna do just great. Anyone that could taper for an entire year .....WOW ....you have my utmost respect. You are officially FREE ! Big Hug, Mary
I am so happy for you! I have been taking Methadone for the last 7 years, on 30 mg a day and I so far I have been too afraid to stop it. At least I have never gone up on my dosage though I am tempted all the time to ask my doc as it does not work as well for me anymore at the dose that I am on - I just pray that the day will come I will have your bravery. I know you must feel like a ton of weight has been lifted from your shoulder, congrats! Stay strong!
Love, Cindy

Good work. I can't believe you stayed on 1 mg.. I was lucky if I got down to 5 before I was done. I think you will do well.
