Looking for some anecdotal experiences from people with similar stories. Here is mine........
I have been on methadone for 2 years and just a month ago i decided to taper down at home. I started the program at 3 ml and over the span of around 6 months got up to 10.5 ml. Which I guess is the equivalent to 105 ml. It used to be a juice like mixture and now it is a concentrated syrup like substance. Anyways....I stayed at 10.5 ml for another 6 months and then started going down 1 ml a month up until a month ago. I started by using a 5 ml plunger until I got down to 1 ml and then I started to use a baby oral syringe. Tomorrow i am going to jump off at .10 ml and was wondering if the withdrawal will be all that bad. I feel pretty good since I have come down. I have my emotions back. My sex drive is back. I actually feel like myself for the first time in 2 years. I am just wondering if anyone else has tapered like I have and if they have any advice or feedback for me
