DreamAngel, as was stated above I am not a doctor. And, this is not intended to be medical advise. All that I can give you is my personal experience. I am on methadone right now and I have made it a point to learn all that I can about methadone. I have detoxed in the past and have never been successful. All because I tried to go to fast. You say that your boyfriend is at 35mg. That is the point in your detox that you start to really feel withdrawls. If he wants this detox to be a success, he should only go down 1-2 mgs every 10-14 days. I know that it seems as if it will take forever at that rate and you are right. But, think of this he has already invested a year into his treatment. So, he might as well take the time that it takes to do this correctly. You guys have your whole life ahead of you. If this is done properly, you will never have to face it again. Also, he should go all the way down to zero milligrams before he stops. When he gets to 1-3 mgs, he may want to try dosing every other day. Please be patient with him, he will need alot of support from you. I hope that this helps you in some small way.
