Okay new to this site, where do I post my question? I've searched and searched. Will ask here since it's the topic I need help with. I had an opiate issue, mostly Vicodin about 2 years ago for a year, clean for a year. Tried cold turkey and turkey turned into a chicken, heck no. Could not do it, guess my anxiety got the best of me. About 7 weeks after a surgery I've been on Vicodin, Percocet and oxycodone. With the last 2 weeks mostly oxycodone, ran out of oxy three days ago( taking 60 mugs per day) and back on Vicodin 10 mg about 40 mg a day and can feel it.. Ughh. Took a didlauted 4 mg( spell)?to help and it did. Back to normal. Well I want OFF been taking it way to long for recreational now about 7 weeks of the above. I have methadone 30 mg tabs can get them from my dad by the bucket loads. But I'm scared to take them. I have been to methadone clinic before and omg. I was high as a kite and three days I was done. They kept increasing me to the point I could not think or even drive. So here I am, with methadone pills 20 mg, can I cut them in half to try. My reason taking short term ONLY is to get through withdrawals of opiates. Will I get through the opiate withdrawals( last one ended in four days) and get off methadone to just go into withdrawls again. Does methadone hide withdrawals from opiates? When do I start them? Best time ? If I get off methadone will I have withdrawals then using methadone for 3 or 4 days? Thanks for answering
 
You can cut them in half, even fourths. Start with the lowest dose possible and little by little increase the dose if you can't tolerate withdrawal symptoms your experiencing.
