On methadone for a year any suggestions to stop?

[bracy18]

I've been on 90mgs for about a year. I want to stop. Any ideas suggestions? Anyone used suboxone? IS that as hard to get off of?

I am also on methadone been on it over 2 yrs now and at 95mg, My best friend also been on it 4 plus yrs at 100mg and we know quite few ppl up there that we have watched detox and so. I was advise a slow taper and if that week you feel your not ready to drop then don't go at your own pace cause everyone is different. Suboxone works for some others it don't. Also hard to w/d off of. What was your drug choice before the methadone? Message me if you have questions. Take care and good luck. God Bless.

You said the most important thing which is the time you've been on methadone which is more signifigant that the dose. 1 year isn't bad I would suggest 5 mg. per day  as I've done a few times before from a similar dose and amount of time on the done. all the best

Why did you go on methadone?  Are you going to a clinic?  Are you getting rx from a doctor?  It will help me to give you a better answer.  I am on methadone, been on it since March of this year.  I was at 110mgs and now after a few months of tapering I am at 20mgs.  I will be jumping off this ride next week sometime.
