so over the past 3 months ive gone from 90 to 20 mg's of methadone....my last drop was 10 mg's from 30 to 20...and it's been 48 hours and i havnt had any withdrawel symptoms besides maybe reslessness.....so i was thinking in a few days just come off the rest....what do you think...should i just do 10 next week...and then the last 10 a week later....or do you think the symptoms wont be too bad coming off the last 20 at once.

I have no idea; what does your doctor say?

Personally I would drop 10 and then 5 and then 5, but obviously it is up to you and your doctor. What is your hurry? What is a few extra weeks going to hurt? It would be a shame to see you struggle and potentially relapse just to save yourself a few weeks of going to the clinic.
Also 48 hours really isn't that much time when methadone is concerned. When you take into account a half life of up to 65 hours and the stacking effect it might take a few more days to truly notice the difference. Not trying to talk you out of it. Just trying to make you see both sides.

Good Luck. Let us know how it goes!!!

Take it easy man!
Its all well and good thinking you'll stop it when you feel OK, but it won't be that when you're writhing about in a puddle of sweat doing the Irish jig.

You might not be feeling much YET, but guaranteed it's coming to stomp your balls!

Give yourself the best chance, and the easiest journey by listening to your doctor. What's the rush?

The annoyance of tapering fades into insignificance when compared with the stark misery of TRUE withdrawals.

I was that idiot!!
