Ive written something similar to this but this time im gonna make it short and to the point. Im on 50mg methadone daily and have been tapering down and i feel HORRIBLE! So what opiate can break through 50mg of methadone? I have a fentanyl patch with 2.5mg total inside and was thinking of cutting a corner off and sucking the gel out. Someone please help me out here.
i agree with the fact that adding anything to your methadone dose will just increase opiate tolerance and mess up your trying to taper off. methadone is to help manage your addiction. if you are wanting to get off methadone only to be using other opiates you are not managing it. i suggest just increasing your dose till you don't have the urge to use other substances . try decreasing your dose more gradually next time and maybe add some therapy to your treatment to teach you to cope a bit better. the ppl shooting up in the car are still stuck in their addiction and really dont want out of it. so keep that in mind. goodluck.
