I'm on 160mg a day and have been going to the clinic for like a year and a half now but I never cut back my fentanyl use like you're supposed to as your dose increases. So now I'm using just as much fent, if not more, on top of a pretty large Methadone dose too. So my tolerance is fucked and I want to get off fetty really bad but i don't have the discipline to wean myself off it and if I stop it cold Turkey and just take the methadone I still get withdrawals that are just as bad as when I would try and kick fetty cold Turkey before I started taking methadone.

But I have like 5 take home doses saved up and this weekend I'll be up to 6 of them, and what I want to try doing is just stop going to the clinic and stop dosing on Methadone for 6 days straight so hopefully during that time my tolerance to it will for the most part go away and then on the 7th day I start dosing again and cut out the fentanyl cold Turkey the same day and hopefully the methadone at that point will take its place and keep me from getting sick. But idk if this is realistic or not or if it would actually work the way I'm thinking it will.
 
This is super dangerous! As you know, its good that you want to reduce your dose, but itll be super hard at this point. The methadone is supposed to be the incentive to stop the fent, so now you basically have no incentive. You're gonna want a fuck ton of comfort meds (clonidine, pregabalin, muscle relaxers, etc.) and a week or two locked in your room with just food, water, a bathroom, tv, pc or phone, & just barely enough fent to keep you from scratching your eyeballs out.

Multiply like a third of your daily fent dose by however many days you'll be shacked up for and get that big of a stash, then dose your daily third up into lil baggies and put em all in a lockbox or just an old phone box, even a fuckin ps2 console memory slot. Anything thatll make you think more than once about opening it. If its intricut, hard to get to, that gives you a sec to think about what you're doing.

Obviously you'll need to go get your methadone every day, but don't be going out too much, especially not where your plugs hang around! Best of luck to you, and if this looks like something you can't do, that's fine, there'll be others who come and offer support.
