I was addicted to opiates in 2013. I've basically been in Methadone treatment since then, 70mg. I just recently attempted to taper off the methadone, but without success. I got down to 23mg and the withdrawal was too intense. I supplemented with a opiate and asked to go back up to 30mg the next day. I want so badly to be free from this addiction. This recent attempt to be free from it made me feel sad and defeated.
