I am going cold turkey after five years of methadone usage. It's day 1. I have leg pain and am agitated. I can't live like this anymore so I slowly tampered myself down to 5mg. I am now 24 hrs with non. I am incrediably uncomfortable but ok. Am I doing the right thing. How bad is this going to be? I was down to 30 mg three weeks ago and weened myself down from there. I just feel alone. And hope this is the right thing.
