Last Methadone?

It's now Monday and I took my last Methadone 5mg pill 3 days ago. I Feel tired, yawning a lot, tearing up and constant headache but nothing too bad yet. I have been on Meth for about a year to treat chronic pain and it worked the best for me but had no idea it would be so hard to quit. I have been on 30-40mg and have tapered down to 5mg. I tried to stop once before but the W/Ds were just too much. Do you think I'm going to be ok this time seeing as it's been 72 hours since my last dose and I feel I can handle the W/Ds right now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers. Brian.

Hi Brian:

I totally agree with Jollyman. The "Substance Abuse" forum is the place to get these types of answers. There are many members there who are trying and have quit taking opiates. I'm sure that they will help you out.

I commend you for staying strong and getting off the meds. Good luck to you.......
