A member asked:
After many years & without warning, my dr. cut my methadone from 60 mg/ day to 10mg/day. is this safe? im having an extremely difficult time!

Very Uncomfortable: Probably safe, however, I wonder why such a rapid change in dosage was made. There are many reasons that dosages are changed that are justified. On the other hand, rapid dosage decreases can cause severe withdrawal symptoms which generally are not dangerous but are extremely uncomfortable but it depends on the patient's other medical conditions. Talk with your doctor and ensure that was intended.
