Hi  well your doing great tapering around 20mg is where it gets tuff for most people first thing is head up to walmart and pick up a 3 in 1 vitamin it is calcium/magnesium and zinc  start taking 4 with breakfast and 4 with dinner this will greatly reduce the withdrawals methadone  can be beat but you got to be strong wile tapering if your in withdrawals dont drop dose wait a few days ..this is a race one by the tortus not the hare always let your body have the final say in reducing dose keep posting for support we all want to see you make it. .................................Gnarly.......................................
