Question About My Detox

Helli I have been on methadone for a little over a year. My stable dose was 60mg. Over the past 5 months I have finally gotten down to 11 mg and Have been doing great. They are saying its going to tale another 2 months to come down from 11mg droping 1 mg every 5 days. With school starting and my husband working having 1 vehicle its interfering with getting him to work and girls to school on time. Im having to drive a hour to dose. I talked to the nurse and asked how bad I would feel if I just stoped at the 11mg she said no worse then I feel now. Mind you I feel great, my bodu has adjusted to tje detox and its been a smooth ride since ive started detoxing. Minir leg cramps and naseau at the begging is the worse of my symptoms. Do you think she is correct if I stop at 11mg I wont feel too bsd?n

Hello, Kayla! How are you doing?

There is really no way to say with any certainty, since much of it depends on you and how your body reacts. It may continue to be easy for you.

However, Methadone is notoriously hard to stop, which is why so many people end up on lifetime maintenance doses of it, rather than ever really becoming drug free.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Does anyone have experience with this that may be able to offer advice?
