There are reported cases of people’s organs going into failure after going cold turkey after methodone. the VERY best thing you can do is to book into a Meth clinic. These people will put you on a structured system of withdrawal and can also treat most withdrawal symptoms. they can also give you the emotional support you need…
if you can’t afford one or dont want people knowing about your addiction, there are free clinics adn your family will probably support you if they know you are trying to quit.

Yes, absolutely it can be dangerous. You really need to see a doctor and be weaned off of it rather than quitting cold turkey especially if you’ve been using long-term and using in high doses. It’s not beneath you to need help and to go out and seek it. Don’t try it on your own.
