Not sure on methadone bud but I'm sure plenty on here are just give it time! I've been on suboxone for 5 years now and finally really making effort to get off and it's a ..... I'm on a tiny dose and even every other day now but it's not fun/****** symptoms etc. but I'd much rather take my time and get through this than go back to the old ways/dope ya know? Blessings brother stay positive ��

I just joined SR a couple days ago and I can tell you this is a great place for support.

Everyone has been really cool and there is no judgement and no one looking down their nose at you.

Good luck on your journey my friend.

Welcome Blue2016.

Nice to meet you.

I have no personal experience with methadone, hopefully other will come along and share.

Whatever you and your doctor decide is right for you, just know that it can be done!
