Dear Zayed, I use 2 b on methadone. I was on (110mg) a day. When it came time 2 taper, I went through horrible withdrawals. I made it down 2 (24mg). It was pure heck! The key is 2 do it VERY SLOWLY. There r also medications that can help. Such as clonodine and other meds. Maybe, an anti-anxiety med. talk 2 your Dr about it. Me, personally, I had 2 go on suboxone after I got that low. GOOD LUCK! It's a hard drug 2 get off.

I have been on Metadol for about 13 mths. only 17 mgs. 3 times a day and it is not doing anything for my chronic lower back pain and don't know what to do because he refuses to increase the dosage. I live in pain 24/7 and don't know what to do. My pain is bad, don't want to get out of bed when i do wake up. What else can i go on that is safe. Before the Metadol i was on dilauda, morphine and hyromorphone, i am clean of them all. Who can give me advice on this situation. Thanks

I have been on Methadone for over 15 Yrs now but its starting to affect my Breathing& need to get off of it . In the last two wks I hv tapered down from 80 mg a dy to 25 . How long do i need to be away from Methadone before taking Suboxone ? I have heard 72 Hrs but don't think I can make it that long .

Ronnie Roach,
Wow with that kind of history I'd suggest you see an addiction specialist or other professional. The clinic I'm employed at would always reccomend in patient for that transition period so appropriate assistive meds are supportive services are readily available. God bless my friend......

Joe543,

Are you referring to methadone?? 17 mg. three x's a day is a very unusual dosage schedule. Dilaudid and hydromorphone are one in the same that you were on previously. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you speak with your doctor about a dosage adjustment. Perhaps a second opinion from a pain management specialist that incorporates interventional pain techniques There really isn't anything else that most doctors are willing to prescribe for orthopedic issues. Most doctors steer away from powerful narcotics for this kind of pain.I wish you the very best
