(Newest replies first)

30 mg methadone per 24 hours for pain. Pain is being treated with a new procedure. I have not taken anyethedone for 15 hours. What should I do? I don't feel any terrible discomfort as of yet.

I know this is a few weeks old but just to tell you my experience I twas on methadone three times. First time I was on 55 mg and when I was done I went down 1mg a day and I don't remember having any withdrawal. The 2nd time I was taking it I just decided to quit cold turkey and ill admit the 2nd day was hard but it was over after few days. Had a hard time sleeping. That time I really had no choice in quitting. I had no money eye and no way to the Dr so somehow knowing it was out of my control made it easier. I was also taking a lot of vitamins. The third time I went to a higher dose 85 mg and I was on it for pain and it wasn't helping, I just transitioned to oxycodone and had no adverse effects. I know everyone's different. Good luck to you.

Hi--Thanks for tthe return mail. Yes!! After 24 hrs it was too much.
I started methadone at 45 mg/ day-- now I'm used to 25 to 30. My plan is to cut down SLOWLY for as long as it takes. Years if necessary. That stuff is brutal !
By the way-- Did you know it was invented by Nazis in 1936? Leave it to nazis to make the most addictive drug in the world.

Hello, Don! How are you? Did you end up experiencing any withdrawal symptoms?

Methadone is pretty notorious for causing them and it can do so for a long period of time, which is why many people who use it for addiction treatment end up on a lifetime maintenance dose.
