What can I expect if I were to quit now, I am 37 and my daily dose is 40- 400mg? Please this is a serious question. To The Bookie, hey dick I have already kicked it and didn't feel sorry for myself one time, what are you a dam dumbass moncho asholeo that thinks he has all the answer. take the time to look up the answer or don't answer. I was speaking in terms of my health not my addiction dumass. and meth verse methadone is not very addictive and please, don't act like you now something about this unless you have been on both, I have. Meth was a walk in the park.

Oh stop it. I was addicted to meth for 5 years. I quit because mentally I choose to and knew it was the right thing to do. If You have anything worth living for... A family, a baby, a wife, etc You have reasons to quit. Stop taking it, suffer for a few months getting clean and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Could be worse, could be better. At best you have an unpleasant weeks to months coming, at worst, full blown out withdrawal. Good luck either way. I would recommend tapering your dosage down steadily. Taking off say 2.5-5mg a week until you could safely quit without any fear of withdrawal.

You have to decrease your dosage by 3 mils every third day until you have your last 3 mils , I advise then to only take 20 mg of valium for three days following , you will not have serious bowel or heavy cramps but you will need to be resolute , after the first ten days you will begin to feel healthy but don't take this as the end as you will have to deal with your sudden urges to score , but listen to me I DO KNOW MY STUFF OK these will only last for an hour at a time , sit down and don't go anywhere when you urge a hit it will pass and they lessen in intensity and number as the months pass you will forget but stay AWAY from old places and haunts , good luck friend .
