Hello, I am curious about something. I've been going to a methadone clinic for 2 months now and have been doing great. I haven't used or been tempted. I went in with a strong mindset and not going through withdrawals from my DOC oxy and fent. I just knew I was going to be tempted to spend all of my money, so to stabilize I went in. I don't get high or feel anything other than normal, so I've been enjoying that. I am still mentally strong. However, the horror stories of getting off have started to scare me and I wonder would it be better to get off now. I also have gotten my testosterone checked and it seems I have low-t, but I know I have had this problem preopiates, so it feels good to have some answers and I really want this to work. So, currently I am on 80mg of methadose a day and it's been exactly 2 months. Should I just ween down or can I just quit? I am hoping since it's only 2 months and I didn't go in in withdrawal I might be able to ease my way out of things. My biggest problem is I just got a new job that I have been enjoying and don't want to quit or lose. I don't want to take any time off, although a day or 2 might not be a big problem. I have clonidine and 7 suboxone strips that can aid in my process. What do you think my chances are? How am I looking and can I do this or is it too soon? Please help me out, I am worried to stay on and get worse, but feel my mindset is where it needs to be to beat this especially with the opportunities that have been presented. I actually want to do this thing called life the right way for a change.
