Hello all

[skippysizemore]

Here at Day 21...... trying to get through the day here, starting to feel better as the day goes on. Hope everyone is well. Been reading posts and laughing my azz off at opi, you are hilarious and you make worries go away when reading your post. Thanks to everyone that has helped me out thru this, it has been a heck of a ride. Hardest thing I have ever done. But well worth it. Still no energy but getting there..night sweats are awful still and the sneezing is crazy but hell the RLS had subsided I hope for good. I hope this stuff is out of my system by now, anyone think it is? 4 years, methadon, 30mgs at most? Talk soon take care and stay positive.

My doctor had talked to me about using Methadone to pull me off the patch. I am so glad after hearing our story we did not do that..

Good work,, you have done great,, I have read your post for the entire time and you have really done GREAT,,,

I've come from 100mcg/hr of Duragesic patch to 25mcg/hr in only 4 months.. I spent the first 4 on 100-75 drop. 1 month ago this wed I came down to 50.. then last wed 25,, I am like you I just want to jump ship and get it done.. BUT,, I dont want to ruin what work I have done.. None or very little RLS and just some general aches and pains first 2-5 days and I am all already use to the next step down.. Next wed I am going for 12.5.. then start to taper that.. Dont lose your patients.. You have suffered little like me and have gotten so much done.. Just continue like you are doing and you will get there.. MY goal is Easter to be on 12.5 3-4 maybe 5 days at a time.. Its really been easy compared to what I read on here..

Amazing job! Sometimes I wonder if I should just jump off & get it over with, as this taper just keeps going, on & on & on, & Im so close, but yet so far away from my goal. I mean, whos to say that jumping off at 3mgs wouldnt be the same as 1mg? Am I just fooling myself into thinking it wont be as bad out of fear? After all, I am in withdrawal, only its very mild, regardless its still at the end of the day, withdrawal, & its not easy, but getting clean takes work!!  Take Care Penelope

I think you're a champ for getting this far in your recovery, going off methadone is one of the hardest things in this world to do. Congratulations and good luck.
