What Is the Best Way to Stop Taking Methadone?
Question by pink08: What is the best way to stop taking methadone?
A friend of mine takes a very low dose of methadone & really wants to stop taking it for good. The side affects are getting to him. Is there anything he can do to help with the side effects? He has hot/cold flashes, can’t sleep at night, and what feels like anxiety & restlessness. I appreciate the feedback.

The same way you stop any drug. Rehabilitation, detox and a support group. It works.

My bf is addicted to methadone. He has the exact same thing as your friend has at night, that’s normal to withdrawl from any kind of opiate. Suboxone works for getting off of pain pills it’s a non narcotic and takes away those nasty withdrawal symptoms. But honestly, the only way to get away from methadone is rehab.
