Is it to early to think about reducing my methadone dose?

I don't think I need to explain a lot I have posted much about this I am on 60mg/60ml I have been on methadone a total of about 6-8 months on 50mg the last three or four months I have been on a higher, 60mg dose what is everyone else's thoughts?

I am worried if something goes wrong I will be back on the heroin daily.. how long do people usually wait to start reducing? if they ever do, that is.
 
It probably is too early, especially if you have concerns about relapsing on heroin.

Why do you want to reduce it?
Because I don't wanna be on it forever but if I am I wanna reduce my tolerance as much as possible without going into full withdrawal I though that was the point of methadone shrunk first tried it.

Because of the 6 month withdrawal horror stories I have read about it some people swear by it some people don't either way I think it would be wise to gradually reduce my dose and hence tolerance.B

These are not my only reasons but are pretty much the main ones.
