I too have been on methadone for about 2 years now. I'm on 60mgs. right now. this is the most I've ever been on. My boyfriend had been on 120mgs. but has detoxed down to 70mgs. it was really hard for him because he went from 120 to 0 in 7 days and then when he get his bill straightened out they brought his dose back up. he wanted to stop at 70 though because he was tired of being on such a high dose. but yeah, I'd like very much to come off of it. I'm tired of having to deal with going to that place. I feel so far removed from the whole situation and when i step into that clinic i feel like I stepped into a time machine. I'm glad to see all the methadone patients speak up and out. Sometimes I feel like the only one who had a substance abuse problem even though it is glaringly obvious that I am not alone. I also have anxiety disorder and agoraphobia and whenever I am prescribed benzos i feel like such a scammer. It's silly I know...
