Yes, if you take Methadone of any mg. at this time you will experience some withdrawls. It is like telling a person who quit drinking that one beer would not hurt. Yes it will.

As long as you cut back on the dosage daily, even if it is by a couple of milligrams, than you will be OK, COMPLETELY OK!! But, you HAVE to cut down daily, that is the KEY! I was taking methadone for 4weeks to come off of my addiction to oxycontins, now I am no longer on the meth and I didn't/don't feel a thing but GREAT!! I started taking 40mg of meth for the first two days, then I would cut down 5mg every two days. By the time I was down to 5mg I kept on taking a smaller piece everyday after that until I was litterally taking like a TINY TINY chip! I did it that way because I had try to detox MANY times before and never did it sucessfully! So, this time I decided that I needed to drag it out for a couple of weeks and do it SLOWLY. I know that after the first week or a little more, it was all mental, but that is what I knew would make me fail again. So, I am VERY PROUD to say that I have completed my self-detox program and I have been completely clean now for 1month (I was HEAVILY addicted for 2yrs to oxy, averaging 300mgs/day, more on the weekends!!)

I wish you luck and write me more if you want to know anything else or have any more questions - I would love to hear from you. Also, stay in touch with me on your progress.

congratulations on your rachievement
you did very well, keep it going!!

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Even though I have been clean for a bit now, I still battle everyday with cravings and urges, but that is expected when you were dependent on something for so long! But I have continued to keep strong and I have a lot of support from my boyfriend that helps too.

[:X] Hi, I just joined this forum tonite and it just so happens that I have been going through Detoxing from Methadone myself. Hence the name, Methadonna. I started at 95mgs and I am now down around 50mgs. They (the people at my clinic) have strict orders NOT to tell me what mgs I'm on. I know me. I would do headtrips on myself about it. Anyway, Congratulations to the one who got off of it!! It is THE HARDEST DRUG TO DETOX FROM AND THEN STAY OFF OF. I'm curious to know how the others are doing. Please let me know.
Nice to meet you all.
