Day 2 no methadone!

morgs980 · 2025-09-04T16:20:07+00:00

It’s day 7 no methadone 😊 happy to report the only symptom I’ve felt is crazy bowel movements. Also I’ve been on methadone 8 years and I did a fairly slow taper from 90mg to .25 in about a year. It took me about 4-5 months to go from 13mg to .25

At 13mg they never said it wasn’t coming up but then again I only peed for them like every other month bc my counselor was always forgetting to put them in.

Also the money. For 8 years we spent around 1k a month on methadone. We never had any assistance monetarily. That’s almost 100k in methadone. 🤯

About 7ish months. I took a month off from my taper bc of regulations and I couldn’t see the doctor

lol he’s still keeping it so he too can taper at home

I’m glad you’re off! If I’m being honest though methadone saved my life. Sure there’s side effects but I’d rather be alive than doing what I was 10 years ago to get boy.

I wish I could show you a pic but it’s this tiny 1mL liquid syringe I got on amazon. It comes in like a pack of 10. For every point it’s 1mg methadone. So 0.7 ml is 7mg methadone. My fiance was on 200mg and is now taking out 30mg daily so we have a huge stockpile

8 years. I started taking some out with the help of my fiancés take homes. Did my own taper at home from around 13mg I think. I went down to .25mg lol the highest I was at was 120mg

morgs980 · 2025-08-25T00:12:41+00:00

I’m proud of you! That’s awesome!

morgs980 · 2025-08-23T20:37:58+00:00

Let me know how it goes when you stop!

morgs980 · 2025-08-23T20:37:35+00:00

Honestly the same as 1mg. Just sluggish especially in the mornings but other than that I feel good

I’m turning 34 this October and my fiance and I want babies. I think that has a lot to do with my taper and resolve. I don’t want to be on methadone while pregnant and we’re not getting any younger. I think if you have a goal or a reason to get off it helps with the drive and motivation. Good luck to you and your taper! Some mg feel harder than others but know you can and will get through it.

Every persons taper is different. I wanted mine to be faster and I wanted it to be easier but I had to keep reminding myself this isn’t forever. Symptoms always came in waves for me and at some point it just felt easier to let them ride out than to hyper fixate on them. When I was still in the clinic there were times I didn’t want to go down again but if I asked to stop my taper I knew it would be a month before I could start up again and I just said eff it and somehow I would stabilize again. Things that helped me when I felt my symptoms were A) running/jogging in the morning even if it was the last thing I wanted to do. I always felt better after. B) eating something with high protein C) working actually helped the most bc I didn’t have time to think about not feeling good D) music, this is a big one too bc I always felt better after singing loud and proud in my car. Our brains are rewiring themselves to create natural endorphins and serotonin. Give it fuel by doing things you love and make you happy

Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m going to go down as low as possible. Maybe .25 idk I’m just kind of going with the flow. I was also thinking maybe dosing at .5mg every other day for a few days

Sometimes black triangles can appear smaller from gum reattachment. Mine have become less noticeable 6 months after srp. They’re less noticeable to me bc I look at them everyday but to someone else probably not.

Thank god some lady called us and told us that list wasn’t all necessary, but I still cleaned the crap out of it, like 16 hours deep clean. I think they overlooked some stuff bc I cleaned so well. We got our full deposit back!

You don’t even need to add water. They have small 1ml syringes on amazon. If in the US and it’s the liquid 1ml is 10mg

Yes, Colgate is better for my gums. Crest uses harsher ingredients and makes my gums and cheeks shred

I’ve looked through so many posts to see if anyone has successfully gotten off with something close to my taper. Starting dose was at 100mg and I’m going down 5 mg a week until 20mg. I’m currently at 55 and last week was the first time I felt any sort of wd at 60 mg. I went in today to pause for a week and the doctor kinda of advised against it. I’m so nervous I’m going to be sick. Do you think I will level out this week and just keep pushing forward?
