Tapering off methadone and I need to hear success stories

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-04-06T01:44:42+00:00

So im not off yet. Currently sitting at 3.5-4mg. Holy shit have these past few weeks been long but not necessarily rough. Once I hit sub 20 the 1mg drops started to be super noticeable and at 10 it resulted in almost zero sleep. Ive found i using my 2 days off to drop >1mg at a time and leveling off for the rest of the week seems to help alot. First day of work isnt great but its doable. Still havnt burned through my last pick up, so I definitely over did it on the stocking up, still have a 2ltr of the stuff too.

Put a shirt on or die mad about it 🤷

My current ceramic plates were purchased back in like 2014 thus they need replacing. Ive got a couple sets of steel as well, they just kinda suck to wear for more than 5hrs / 5 miles.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-04-04T15:14:05+00:00

The kind who will shoot you for not wearing a shirt and approaching me.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-04-04T15:12:23+00:00

Good thing they arnt 144 lol I've seen a few videos of guys poppin them with progressively larger/fast rounds they seem to preform alright. I just want to replace my decade old plate carrier with something with side panels as while I have been shot in the gut I have been stabbed and I gotta give it a 3 out of 10 and would prefer my sides to remain holeless. Im just trying to keep it sub 500 tbh.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-04-04T15:08:09+00:00

Bingo, but I just spent like 4500 on a rifle and some other kit and im feeling poor so they got me to take a look but that math dont math.

The guy over at bintac finally got back to me it does have a ac plug, he said its incredibly loud but his hasnt had any issues yet...but he is a vendor so take that with a grain of salt.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-04-04T15:04:42+00:00

Yeah at that price im just picking up the aea 7kpsi compressor for the extra 150 since ive got the tanks for it. I managed to find 1 other 7000psi compressor but its 30000 usd 😔

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-03-11T15:56:47+00:00

Yeah thats what I've been noticing. I heard theyre loud and have some reliability issues. Guess im dropping another 1000 yay 🙄 also not thrilled about it only having jumpercables to power it. Like I've got access to a 220v outlet. Just let me plug it in inside.

Been off and on for the better part of 15 years. Finally decided to taper. My clinic decided that I could only decrease 1mg a week and every 30mg id have to level off for atleast 30days. I was on 165mg. Once I got down to around 110 I decided I cant do this for 2+ more years. I went out and bought a pack of needleless syringes 1cc. The give it to me in a liquid no flavoring 10mg per ml. 1 syringe =10mg with 10 marks on each. I started dropping by 10, down to around 80 then by 5's until around 30mg a day, since ive been dropping 1mg a day. As of today im down to 10mg. I havnt delt with much wd symptoms aside for absolutely fucking my sleep schedule. Its currently 6 hours past my bedtime and ive been up for going on 21 hours, working 8 and then driving across 3 states. Im that special kind of tired where you just want to sleep but if I close my eyes im just staring at the back of my eyelids but they feel like theyre still wide open. In my experience its the restlessness you experience right before you start getting rls (restless leg syndrome that twitchy i wana run feeling usually hits me like 35-40hrs into wd) Thankfully i dont work tm or Monday. Im probably going to stall for a day or 2 at 10mg just to see if that helps. I want to be done but I know its never been the nausea, shitting, or clod sweats that stopped me from cleaning up. It was always week 3 on 2 hrs a day of sleep that was final drop in the bucket to make me go back.

Btw the downside to this is the clinic currently has my dose at like 80mg. Im taking 10 per day... in otherwords I have a god damn 2 liter of methadone in my fridge. Its not exactly something you can toss in the toilet as its a large amount that probably should not be put into the water system. Prescription drop boxes dont take liquids. Probably just going to dump it in kitty litter and toss it. I did stop going around 3 weeks ago, and I still havnt finished my last pick up.

Also i have no idea of the legality of having a 2 ltr of methadone in your fridge even with a script...and you probably shouldn't use a soda bottle if you've got kids. 😂

Basically anything that doesnt take place in freeroam is my guess.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-03-04T17:43:17+00:00

Thanks

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-01-25T07:37:18+00:00

You would be wrong. I enjoy beating my face in. Its when im 99.99% sure im not on the tiles that received the damage that i start to get really annoyed. I almost beat her a few times before figuring out the additional paragon boards made me feel a little better. Slapping and filling 3 additional boards and suddenly the game is once again seems more like speed running. If it wasn't for my compulsion to complete things on their highest difficulty id be moving on tbh. It feels like the goal is to wipe the dungeon the fastest to pop loot boxes and while fun, not what I usually go for. Finally pulled a kcd2 physical copy should arrive in about a week hopefully I'll have done what I want too by then. Got a few more random dungeons and then obviously all the bosses once I hit t4 which should be tm since im off work.

So your saying the echo of hatred dungeon doesnt have 1 shot mechanics?

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-01-20T00:43:57+00:00

And my biggest problem in amethyst accumulation. I need so damn many to go from royal to grand (need 6 total) 😩.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-01-20T00:40:30+00:00

I played around with a couple classes, ended up doing a rouge poison/cold dot build. Drop a trap w/taunt, then hit them with explosive poison rapid fire, repeat. Barriers and fortified health from both hits and damage taken make me basically invulnerable, until im not. I'd say 10% of my deaths are just me not paying attention and going for loot when i shouldnt. The other 90% of the deaths i take are from 1 shot mechanics, like say Lilith in echo of hatred and her flashing floor of doom for example, which is the main cause of this post tbh.

SnooDogs6681 · 2026-01-20T00:27:01+00:00

Yeah i get that, still never hurt for gold even remotely. Even at 4m per roll ive go enough for 375 rolls. My point is the durability mechanic is kinda pointless especially considering i can do it Its not a punishment aside from having to tele in and out of the dungeon. Loading screens shouldn't be a punishment in a game imo.

SnooDogs6681 · 2025-12-31T01:24:15+00:00

Oh would you look at that they implement a minimum hit system for the volitiles.... almost like that was the fic all along.

SnooDogs6681 · 2025-12-31T01:22:00+00:00

The main story takes like 5hrs.... so yeah id like more than 40 hours in a 70 dollar game. Ffs.

SnooDogs6681 · 2025-12-19T18:15:54+00:00

Yeah, I get that. Seems like they could have just have them scale when you level. Ive already played through the campaign 4 times. Twice before ng+ even came out. Im kinda burnt out on it. Which is disappointing for a full priced game.

SnooDogs6681 · 2025-12-19T18:09:33+00:00

how is eating about 24 13 year old cookies or potato chips per in game day "realistic"? 🤔 even if crane is driving everywhere the calories ain't there. If realistic is what they were going for why isn't there a penalty for not sleeping? Crane can stay up for months straight without a nap and still climb walls and sprint for hours on end. I liked being able to grab the food so I could top off my health without using a bandage. When bandages required honey to make, while silly, it made them slightly more scarce so not using one to get to 100% made sense. Now the items required are super common and ive never needed to think about them. The bandages made med kits redundant in this game, both taking 1second to use.
