A member asked:

What to do if i have been off methadone for three days now i'm 32 can i get off it by myself ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can BUT: your chances of success are slim to none, if you were on significant doses for more than a month or so. Methadone withdrawal doesn't even get bad for 2-3 days, then gradually increases until it is very bad by one week out, and then it stays that way for several weeks, and even months. The chances of relapse to street opiates is very high. Bad choices led you to addiction and you're continuing them
