It's been 6 months at 60mg every other day. On my own. Not on the program. Perfer to come off the same way.

I've been in the clinic for 3 1/2 years and I've been detoxing for a while now. Don't do it to fast it can be really dangerous. Try going down the way I am, I drop down 2 mgs every other day for three weeks, then I take a break for two weeks. That way its not such a shock to your body. This has worked great for me and I've had 14 friends get off methadone and stay off this way. You could also call a doctor or a drug help line(you don't have to tell them your name). I don't know if they could help but it would be worth a try. Good Luck!!! If all else fails maybe you could try the program. But I would try on my own first if I were you, just be careful. If you start to feel bad you can always go back up for a few days.

If you have the will,nothing is impossible!Try to divert your mind off this or try to slap you once when u think of it.You will not be able to stop it in one shot.Try taking 50mg for the next 2 week and then reduce it to 40mg for 2 weeks and then 30mg for the next 3 weeks and like that,gradually reduce the intake incase you are too much addicted to it.

Start by decreasing by 5mg every other day for a couple of weeks, then another 5mg for 2 weeks etc...
