welp, i have been playing the opiate game for around 7 years now.
i was off for around 80 days from august to late october 2012. this past run has been small in comparison to my others. but this is where im at now...
as i said i was clean for a little while, then slowly but surely i was back to talking low doses of whatever pills i could find daily. anyway for about the past 7 or so months, for financial/accessibility reasons i have been taking methadone. I am currently on 15mg/day. this is my first go round with the stuff and i realize i'm not trying to get back into a full sprint getting high again. I want off really. but i understand methadone is nothing to mess with.
so my question is: from you guys' experiences, what am i in for as far as tapering, and whats the best way to do it?

15mg/day is a very low dose. Drop 1mg/week if you can handle it. If not, don't taper quite as fast. once you get to ~10mg/day you can do it cold turkey. Again, if you can't handle it, wait a week & go down by a little less.
