This may get re-directed,so I posted it on the Substance Board,too,but as much knowledge as there exists on this forum,I would not be wise to post it here,as well.I take 80-100 mg.,in divided doses,of Methadone each day for Chronic Pain.I spoke to my Dr.(who is a Pain Control Specialist),he showed me a taper that went for 1 month.I don,t think I could do a 1 month taper of this drug,at this dose.I would be pleased to be able to"get by"with a much lesser dose,if it were possible,but I hear"Horror Stories"about folks trying to come off this med,how it,s the hardest med of all to stop,how it takes a year to leave the system.I just wanna know if any of you guys have had experience or have knowledge about this topic.I thank you for your time.Festus
