For those of you interested in methadone let me just start with that it is hard to treat people for methadone withdrawal the main reason is because it has a very long lasting half life. What this means is it takes a longer than most drugs for the body to metabolize usually around 36 to 48 hours. For those of you with a methadone addiction and are thinking about methadone cold turkey you may be in for a long battle of being very miserable. I would consider other options if there are any for you.
Best way to how to stop methadone withdrawal
I am convinced that the best of all ways to stop methadone withdrawal is to taper your self down as slowly as possible. I was taking around 175 mg per day and I tapered down by reducing my dose by 10 mg per week. Let me just say right here that I could not even tell the difference so do not be afraid. It’s basically very easy to do but again it will take action.
If you are thinking of going to methadone treatment most places will not accept you until your dose is 40 mg or less; for instance, even if they did and your dose is high whichever drug they give you to detox from methadone will not help. I tried this and had to wait until I reached the recommended dose. If this is what you desire to do then what I would suggest is that you taper yourself until you get your dose low enough to go. The only other thing you can do is to keep tapering your self until you are down to nothing.
The responsibility is up to you if you want to successful stop methadone withdrawal. I would suggest that you talk with the Dr of whatever methadone clinic you happen to be going to they can give you some advice on how to beat methadone withdrawal.
These are your options so take the necessary action to stop using today and here are 10 methadone withdrawal tips.
Good luck
