I have been on Methadone for about 5 years and I am finally at the point where I’m ready to start tapering. I hate the feeling of still “needing something” every day to feel right. Ive just been going along w the routine, if it works why mess w it. Ive been told I need to get to a lower mg before I can start the shot. The shot is once a month and I’ve heard good things and bad things. Im nervous about the transition from Methadone to the shot. Has anyone experienced this?
It’s becoming much more common. kia portal
Did sublocade work you or end up helping at all?
Im not off of methadone yet.
how has the tappering been going? Has it been a nighmare or has it been pretty easy for you?
Tapering has surprisingly been going good; better than expected. I’ve been going down 5mg every 2 weeks. I read that I have to be off of methadone before starting sublocade. I dont want to be on anything so if I can come off of methadone and feel okay, Id be so happy. Im nervous about the withdrawals. I cant see myself craving it. Just tired of being on something. Curious what sublocade is like, will I have to taper off of that? Ugh
