Hi all, I been on methadone for 8 years. I was on 150mg but I did get down to 70mg. Here is my problem: I ran out of money! I have two 70mg dose in liquid. What is the best way I can detox off my methadone? Should I just take 30mg the 1st day then take what? After the 30mg I will have 110mg left! Then what should be my next dose be 20mg? I don't know what to do?
I do NEED and WANT OFF Methadone..
Thanks for any help you can give me. :(
 
The best way to detox from any opiate is to taper as much as possible. Do not quit Methadone cold turkey, it is pure hell. The flu times 100. Taper your dose to as low as possible. Buy a bottle of 48 Immodium AD. The drug is Loperamide. It is actually an opiate that does not cross the blood brain barrier to make you high, but will help with the WD quite a bit. I have used it many times. Take 10 pills the first morning, then 10 pills at night. The next morning take 5 pills then 5 at night. Then day 3 take 3 pills in am and 3 pills in pm. This has helped me many times when I could not get to the MMT Clinic (methadone maintenance treatment clinic). Also drink water, Gatoraide and take vitamins. You will not feel like exercising but it is a must to get the endorphins going. Good Luck
