The best way is to ask your doctor.

Methadone is more addictive than heroin and the withdrawal can be painful. I have never seen a patient get off it completely. Try reduction of 25 to 50 mg/week.

I really don’t know what is the best way to get off methadone. I suggest you got the local methadone clinic and they will put you on a program to wing off it. My sister has been going to the methadone clinic for 2 years now and still hasn’t completely got of the drug. I know it really hard to taper off an addicting drug like methadone but it is alot better than taking other addicting drugs out there. Good Luck!

My cousin, tried everything, and finally just went “Cold-Turkey”, and to make a long story short, he’s a “Born-Again” Christian, now, and He says Methadone, was worse, than actual Heroine!! And harder to quit…..Alls methadone, was for him, was a legal stronger form, of Heroine, itself !!! You just need to “Cowgirl-up” and give it all up, “Cold-Turkey”, because, my cousin, also told us that it will eat your bones, and that the Germans invented it, and that its more addicting, and harder too quit !!! Good-luck, to you !! And may God help you , honey, with those withdrawels, just pray, for God to completely take away all withdrawels, and the desire for another drug, period !!! Gods in the “Prayer-Answering” Business, and He feels your pain, and knows your heart, wants help, and He wants you completely delivered !!! Gods the answer , to all our prayers, and pain!! Go with God, not methadone, you’ll never “Regret, your decision”.. May God Be with you, In These Difficult Times”……..
