Hey DEVONSTAR congrats on getting yourself down to 2mgs of methadone, you are almost FREE!!!!! You have done a nice long taper and I cannot see you having really bad withdrawals. I am also on methadone at 11mgs tapering 1mg/week and have not been sick yet. Because you have gone so slowly you have given your body a chance to adjust to each dose, which is what is recommended with tapering methadone. You will of course feel a bit of withdrawal but I don't believe it will be anything to worry about and I doubt it will last as long. None of us will get out of this scott free so you have to expect a bit of discomfort.For the restless legs people in here suggest Hylands Restless Legs which can be found at Walmart, some suggest a hot soak in the tub with epson salts. I think you have done EXTREMELY well and I compliment you on that. Just hang in there and try not to worry too much about what is going to happen. I know that when I get to where you are I will have to eat my words but I truly believe you will be just fine, as others say " time will be your healer". I wish you nothing but the best and please keep posting and let us know how it goes once you are at 1mg and completely off.
