Methadone, bye, bye and never again!

Hello friends, I am a methadone user for almost 1 year because of my bad decision of not being able to leave this world without trying heroin

I started with 48mgs and we have been reducing the dose little by little... I have to say that until I reached the 20mgs I didn't even notice it, maybe a little restlessness and feeling a little "weird" on the days when it was time to come down but in general, it has been a "bed of roses", I can't complain...

Ah! but now comes the serious part friends!! the drop from 20mgs to zero mgs, this is something else

My doctor (Psychiatrist) wants to do the following, she is in favour of going very little by little:

- she wants to remove 1 milligram every 2 weeks until reaching zero.

but I don't see it at all clear, oh my gog!!!! 1 mg every 2 weeks???? to finish with the 20mgs. it is 10 months of penance, 10 LONG MONTHS of ordeal to take me off only 20 milligrams???? how is it possible so long my friend???? i couldn't believe it when she told me, so this morning i proposed something else:

take out 1 milligram every Wednesday (which is the day I pick up my weekly pills).

She told me that I was going to notice it a lot, that she didn't advise it but I want to try to see if I am able to do it, so the nightmare would be over in 5 months and not in 10 (as she proposes).

I hope to cope well and be strong, thank you very much for reading me friends, I love you and I wish you all the best. A big hug.
