Rapid Methadone Detox

I am looking for someone that's done this. With a wife, hardcore job, kids, school pickups, stories, bath time, etc etc I end up missing doses regularly.
We can miss 2 and keep going so I get 5 takeways on Sunday and skip Sat (my dose is higher than I need).
I had a holiday and accidentally missed 3. Now I have to go to the clinic 7 days a week for 9 months. That aint happening.

So, I because I skipped doses for years, I have litres (1-2 gallons spare) in the spare room. I decided now is time to withdrawal. The doctor said go down 5mg a fortnight. That will take nearly 2 years on 115mg. So I took it upon myself to withdrawal as fast as I can.

In a month I'm down to 10-12mg (I use baby medicine syringes - no needles).

I'm crying a bit but it's cathartic. I'm slowing my reductions a bit, but I want off in 3 weeks. Thoughts? What sould I expect. Apart from teariness and being a bit grumpy/lazy I am fine.
