starting methadone and have a question

[BlueSaffron]

I guess it is possible but I don't know how likely. Depression is an aspect of withdrawal from pretty much every opiate.

I realize that... but I've never had depression like I had detoxing methadone. I mean like a dark hole, like things will never, ever get better. Depression like someone just killed your whole family in front of you. I never felt like that detoxing off H. Down and depressed and physically miserable, sure, but not serious depression.

for those that have tapered off just curious how long you tapered, what dose you started at, and where you jumped from. the clinic people said it would be easier if done very very slowly like well 1 or 2mgs a month in my case since they were only going to start me at 20mgs at most.
