Opioids Weaning Down From 85MG to a Dose I can Cold-Turkey without Vomitting.

[Thomas29]

Ok I Am On Welfare/Social Assistance and they Pay for my Methadone But I Can't Stay on it Forever and I can't Afford Methadone Myself.. I Am Trying to get on Disability But if I Can't I want to Wean Down to a Dose I Can Stop Cold-Turkey without Vomiting as a Symptom I Been Through Withdrawals Before But Always Kept My Doses Low Enough I Only got Body Pains and Insomnia an Diarhea as Symptoms.


I Am Thinking 30MG should Be Low Enough or Should I Go Lower? Like I Need to know someone who has Quit 30mg Methadone without a Taper and All the Withdrawal Symptoms they Experience even A Time Line would Make A Difference.

Go lower. 30mg will almost certainly still bring you some vomiting - it's no fun no matter how you do this - but 30mg of methadone is still a big dose of a potent, long-lasting narcotic. Even "jumping off" cold turkey from 15mg wouldn't be fun, but in my opinion that is about the level where the withdrawal symptoms will be bearable - if you possibly can, keep going lower and lower. The lower the better. Coming off methadone will be no-sleep for many days and nights, then restless sleep for weeks more, but you will start feeling better in a few weeks.

You need to prepare for at least 10 days of badness, if you DON'T go lower than 30mg before cold turkeying, you will have 20 days of badness. It isn't the worst thing in the world and you can make it, but it's not worth doing if you have an alternative to jumping off at 30. Methadone withdrawal goes longer than the physical w/ds.

The lower you taper the easier it will be.
