Quitting Methadone (Top voted first)

Quick recap was on methadone 10 years. After multiple failed wean attempts, I tried suboxone still failed and back to methadone. Life issues caused me to realize I had to be done with this life that day. I went off methadone after a 4 day wean, over 3 months ago, I am doing GREAT right now looking for someone else who has went off and is still successful after a couple months.

How did you feel after the 4 day wean? I just moved across the country and gave myself enough methadone to wean down for 4 days. I'm on day 4 now and was on methadone for at least 9 years. Just want to know what I have to look forward to. I've tried coming off before and had the worst withdraws ever but I did ita little differently this time. I actually weaned myself but only had enough for 4 days.

The first 3 weeks were hell I won't lie.. I had no energy felt like s*** but like you I left my province, had it in my head to quit no turning back. Since I could get nothing I toughed it out. You need at least 1 month where you can't do anything. You need someone to help you. Like I said I am over 3 months clean no cravings, feeling good, balanced back out, and I have feelings now. It is not easy but I had just become a methadone addict instead of an opiate addict. It brought life problems just like opiates. Keep trying. I hope you succeed.
