hey dude...I dont think feeling nothing is an option but I do know that your g/f is down to a safe level to jump off from ...her withdrawals should only be uncomfortable not unbearable ...she is at a dose where you just let go...I have herd of people skipping
days but I think in the end your just prolonging the agony my advise is just jump
she may not feel well for a few days but at that low of dose it should be minimal
good luck in what ever way you chose...Gnarly

Hi welcome to the forum...well it sounds like you have tapered down to a level that you can safely jump off from..im not shure here if its just your g/f or both of you but ether way
if your down to 1/8 of a pill you just need to jump off and get it over with...tapering in the low doses only prolongs the withdrawal so my advise is jump off and get it over with..
your final withdrawal shouldn't be any worst then tapering below 5mg...mine wasent
but there is a certain amount of discomfort that comes with jumping off thats unavoidable at what ever dose you jump from...just know it not as bad as you think its going to be..and if your down as low as you are it will be very doable ..just about a week of discomfort with the worst of it being day 3 threw 5 then it starts to get better
as for smoking pot...personally I dident wile detoxing but I do know some that have
and said it helped with sleep...dont recommend it you just might be trading addictions...although pot an"t physically addictive it is physiologically addictive
and it is eazy to switch form one substance to another when detoxing...
wile your going thew this there is a fraze you need to grab a hold of..
"you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile"...tapering off methadone
is going to be uncomfortable no mater how you do it..but again it is very doable
you also need to put some aftercare in place...there is a sorta mental "mind screw" you go thew doing this thats your going to need some help with ..N/A is good
as well as a good drug consolor but it helps to have something in place wile your going thew this..keep posting you will find much support here and in the end it is so so worth it so hang in there you can do this it just takes some perseverance
good luck and god bless..Gnarly
