Methadone taper going good

[forgottensick]

Hey all. I`m still at it and doing well. I`ve learned a LOT about tapering off methadone these past few months. I`m now down to around 7mg a day. I take about 3mg  am and about 4mg pm. I have been tapering 1mg a week. I always give my system time to recover from each taper too. I haven`t had any real withdrawls but get the restless legs and arms when I taper too much at a time or too fast. I also have noticed that when I`m in the a/c or in the evenings when the temp are cool, I get feeling some of the wd symptoms. I guess that explains why the hot baths/showers help a lot. I`ve stopped taking the suppliments as they were making the restless legs worse, so I`m saving them until I jump as I`m sure they will help a lot then. The advice I`ve gotten on here has helped me a lot to figure this out. The main things I`ve learned is to take it slow, taper very small amounts and always let your system recover from each taper. And try to stay as warm as you can stand. I can taper about 1mg every 6-7 days but now that I`m down to such a low dose, I can only taper about 1/2mg  at a time without feeling withdrawls.
So I just wanted to let everybody know I`m still hanging in there and doing ok. Everybody that gave me advice was spot on and I thank you. This wouldn`t have been so easy if I didn`t have you all. So thank you.
