Hello, Crowe! How are you? I am sorry about the problem that you're having.

Have you consulted your doctor about it? Jumping down 30mgs might just be too big of a drop for your body to handle and you may need to go a little slower.

However, Methadone is notoriously hard to get off of, so it is likely that may always experience some withdrawal effects.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Dear Crowe, I was on 110mg of methadone and decided it was time 4 me 2 taper down. I got down to 24 mg and thought I was going 2 die from the withdrawals. I had 2 go on suboxone at that point. The thing that's most important is 2 taper down VERY SLOWLY. As much as u want 2 get off u must take the time 2 do it slowly. It sucks, I've been there and it's not a good thing 2 go through. GOOD LUCK!

I am a Patient advocate in and for methadone patients and there is a clinic in Florida where the Doctor himself tells his patients to take 200 to 800 milligrams of tagamet 30 minutes before taking their morning dose. Starting with 200 and see if this helps then moving to 400 waiting a few days to let it all stack with the methadone serum blood levels then 600 to 800 he totally believes that somewhere between 200 to 800 milligrams of tagamet will in fact make the Methadone work better and work longer for the Patient. He in fact will not give increases past 100 milligrams until the patient tries this first.
