Hello All,
I'm curious to know about others experiences of how much of a cut in their methadone does they can tolerate for one day.
I have been on MMT for over 5 years and on 125mg/day for about 1 year. But, I dipped into my take homes and is short a bit for the next few days. In the past when I have done this, they have just gone without for a day or so and toughed it out. It wasn't too terrible, but i definitely think those who say they can miss a dose without feeling WDs are lucky. I want to handle this time differently if possible.
If I normally take 125mg/day and over the next 3 days took half a dose (62.5mg) a full dose, then half a dose again, how would they feel on the half dose days? In if I am going to have the same WD symptoms on two days from taking half a dose I would rather just take a full dose 2 days and tough out one day.
Basically I would like to know about others experiences with taking a reduced dose for a day or two and how low it can go. You would think that after so long on MMT I would have these answers, but perhaps I am just looking for some piece of mind.
I thank you all for your help in advance.
