Kick tar with methadone

[louielouie]

i've been using tar A LOT lately. I got off of it for a couple weeks with some methadone i bought on the street. i essentially just swapped habits. I HAVE to stop using. I am not at rock bottom but I see it coming. Is this something that I can do in a week?
I get the methadone tomorrow early afternoon and plan on taking 40mg (what I was taking when I got it last time). I just talked to a friend and he said take 40mg on the first day and go down 5mg a day until I get to 0. Is this going to work? Will I be getting dope sick or will there just be cravings?
Also, I have been a bit of a lurker for a while. So HI!

Hey, welcome to Bluelight!

Check out the OD Directory link in my signature; and check out the Community Project - Tapering Plans link. This should have some solid info about tapering off with methadone.

I recently overdosed on methadone, because of the 1 to 3 day halflife it builds up in your system....I didnt overdose on day 1, I overdosed on my last dose of day 2 without increasing my dosage. Be careful, I mean very careful, self administering Methadone.

I would use the lowest amount that keeps the chills and anxiety away.
