A member asked:
After 16 years on methadone ( 100ml ) i am now starting to get off it, but my question is " can your body or mind start to reject the methadone ? "
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methadone: I would imagine your distress is related to tapering the methadone. Your body is dependent on this medication. It causes body and mind distress while tapering, but you probably have good reasons for tapering. Let your provider know you are experiencing problems. Your body is used to methadone, and should not be a rejection issue. Maybe your mind is ahead of your body!
