Hi all,

Currently know of a close friend who has been gradually moved to a stable dose of 130mg of methadone after a decade long heroin battle. He's a heavier chap at 245lbs since starting and has experienced tremendous success at this dose. This June will mark the 1 year anniversary of MMT.

MMT was left as his last case tesort due to stigma and lifestye choices and prvious financil ability. After trying every treatment for a decade of hell; methadone seems to show promise. Most importantly ,meetings and lifestyle changes have come along as well. There is one occuring fear-tapering. The consistent fear of lofe without methadone and the struggle of weaning off. Right now it is a life saver and workinf 100%

If anyone can share successful tapering experiences or suggestions it would be so very appreciated. Thank you. God bless
 
Just take it slow with the taper. Maybe 3-5 mg reduction a week or so.

I was on a similar dose and then switched to suboxone for 5+ years. I now use kratom daily for maintenance.

How was the transition to subs?

It wasnt too bad considering all the struggling i had been going through.

On the first visit the doc gave me 52 - 2 mg subs on a friday and told me to take what i needed to feel normal and i went back on monday to let him know i felt stable at 20 mg.

I started with 1mg and progressed to 20 mg by the end of the day.

I was off methadone for about 36 hrs or so and was in severe withdrawal upon induction.

The most important thing is to feel like death before you dose buprenorphine.
