Down to 13 mgs

I have been having some trouble with my taper.I have been going to a methadone clinic 4 1/2 months and am now down to 13 mgs I have a plan to jump at 3 or 4 mgs on dec 20th in 20 days I have had some slip ups but have been doing ok. I take many vitamins protein and green drinks. I will need a lot of encouragement and prayers. I made up my mind NO MORE slip ups. I have been seeing an addiction councilor. Please pray for me.

Thank you for your prayers, the withdrawals at times are very hard to take, I have good support at home but my clinic is not the best I had to demand to taper, they may cut me off at any time.I hope to accomplish this,I know I can't do this on my own.

Hi there, it's great that you are seeing an addiction counselor.  Have you looked at why you have had some slip ups? Is there something you can change that will help you avoid them? Do you have anyone that can help you and dispense the Methadone to you per your taper plan? Is the Methadone clinic on board with your taper?

I wish you all the best. Stay strong and keep moving forward. I will keep you in my prayers.  Keep posting here for support.
