coming off methadone

[jdswife]

Im starting to come off 90 mg of methdone...i have been on it for almost 2 yrs...im was coming off 3 mg every other day..but stop at 51 mg but only for 2 weeks..but I gotta start back in 2 weeks..i would come off slower but my husband thinks just because he came off morphine and didnt have to have nothing..that I can..im really scared but Im done with drugs period..im just scared of the withdrawl....is there anything that would help or is 3 mg everyother day to fast? Im going to talk to our doctor at the clinic but does anyone have any suggestions?

HI Always listen to your doctor there are some tings you can do that help with methadone withdrawals wile tapering go up to walmrt and pick up a 3 in one vitamin calcium/magnesium/zinc .....take 4 with breakfast 4 with dinner it will take a few days for this to build up in your system but it will cut your withdrawals down considerably  I detoxed off 150mg and only wish I had found out about this sooner we cant give taper schedules out in the open forum but your going to have to slow down in the lower doses or your going to feel like you got ran over by a truckkeep posting for support and check your e/mail......Gnarly
