Talk to your doctor : Weaning off of Methadone is a very individual experience. You could try 20mg. If you experience any difficulty, you should ask to talk to the clinic doctor. Some people are able to get off Methadone with little or no problem. Some people require a slower taper. I commend you for wanting to get off of Methadone. Typically a taper down by 5mg per week is best. Keep going to your meetings. Peace!
