No, sorry there is no easy way out........if you wanna play, than you gotta pay.

I would probably switch to a shorter acting opiate and w/d from there, cause I dont think done w/d's are something I would wanna go thru. If I have to w/d from something I would much rather w/d from OC's or H or anything else than done!!

Withdrawls from methadone are by far the worst. As I was told well over a year ago from people here, throw the book at it man! Vitamins especially help, keep yourself hydrated the best you can even though you'll brobably be yakin yer brains out. just keep tryin. Omegas, fatty acids, eat healthy as you can, as hard as it is as soon as you can start excersizing. Just start slowly like walking around the block and shit like that. If you do or can, have some other opiates around for the beginning to help your body and brain ween from the drug. It has a saturation factor above any othe opiate so it's gonna take a while to get it all out. Thats why the W.D.'s from it are the worst. It's a really hard thing to do, I know. I jumped off at 45 mgs. after three and a half years. I tapered quickly from 95 mgs. and it didnt faze me a bit till day 4 after the jump off. You can do it. Its gunna be hard but you can do it. If you notice serious heart flucuations, rapid heart rate and so on go to a doctor or the e.r. if you dont mind them knowing that you were on it and they'll give you something called klonadine(I think thats how you spell it) and that will help tremendously. If you can, go to a D-tox center, like a three dayer thing and that should be confidential and the records of your stay should be unreleasable to anyone. Just remember that if you go to the e.r. or a doctor it will be in your medical records that you were on methadone, and they will assume that you were on it for Heroin addiction or something similar and thats a bad thing. If you end up back at the e.r. or that doctor, you have JUNKIE stamped across your forehead and thats all they'll see, in my experience anyway.
Hope I helped you out but good luck and if you need anything else just p.m. me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I posted this in a thread for quitting OC's, here it is again:

So a friend of mine tried this method of opiate detoxing and found it to be amazing. Her current daily usage was around 4-5 OC 80's a day. It's basically all about high dosage's of Sodium ascorbate as well as lots of other vitamins and minerals, of which all can be bought at your local health food store. The Sodium ascorbate is the most important thing though. It binds to the opiate receptors in your brain, therefore; reducing cravings and helping to eliminate withdrawls. She said that she could sleep the first night, no leg cramps or tossing and turning etc. I trust what this girl says, as she and I have been down the detox rode many times...... Anyway, here is the website if anyone wants to check it out:

Methadone withdrawls are by far the worst, so I would stock up on the Sodium ascorbate, and give this a try...... It seems to easy to be true, but it really works! Good luck.......

Red that sounds like some more helpful information im really glad i got to this site cuz ive heard some of those things about kicking that shit but i never really thougth that vitamins and exersizing would really help.. the main thing is it seems like it NEVER ENDS and it so damn hard to w/d when i gotta maintain a job...but ima try that.. because any other options are few. thanks

^ yeah, dude, I've WD'd from 'em all, and methadone is the king of pain when it comes to that: worse than H, OC, any of 'em put together. It's for that reason that I will NOT use methadone recreationally again--it's just too fucking awful. I got a hook for the 40mg Methadose wafers, and I know they'd get me so high, and so economically compared to what my current H habit is costing, but I WILL NOT GO THRU THAT AGAIN. I'd rather jack a .380 hollow-point round into the chamber, point it at my temple and pull the trigger than go thru methadone WD again. Yep, it's that fucking bad, IMO.

The reason I mentioned the detox center thing is because when I went they gave me meds. They gave me clonadine and some kinda barbituate or something. I was going through H d-tox and couldnt handle the barbs or whatever they were giving me, I literally had to hold onto the wall when I was walking around. Pretty heavy shit, but it did help with the w.d.'s. Just remember, once you go on record that your an addict it'll stick to you like a tick in June.

Meh, I've kicked twice without any serious problems, that down from taking 40mg daily. Not a huge dose, but big enough, and for 9 months.

I don't like the taper technique. Not exactly. What I do is take it less and less and less. Taking it bidaily? First, cut down to once daily. Don't increase the dose at all to compensate. That's cheating. Then, try taking it every other day. Once you can do this, continue to do it for a week at the same dose. Then try going to two days, or a day and a half if WDs are bad enough. Do that for a while and then go down to every three days. Once you're at this point, you probably want to decrease you dose by 5mg if you're taking under 40mg per dose and 10 if you're over. While you do this, continue to cut down your dose once a week. Also, while you're doing this, try to quit cold turkey once a week by extending the non-dosing day by two. Eventually you'll be able to do it without a problem. This does nothing for psychological cravings, but nothing besides more dope can really do this.

I've helped three people besides myself with this method, and they have all reported good results. By good results, I mean no withdrawals symptoms at all in under three weeks.

Don't believe me? No one ever does until they do it.
