opiate withdrawal
"I have been on methadone for almost 10 years. I have tapered and got off a few times, but always seem to fall back. I have never gone higher than 45mgs. this dose has complete covered all withdrawal symptoms without feeling tired and useless. I had a son last year at the age of 33, and was very nervous of the effect it would have on my new born. I never increased my dose through my pregnancy and remained at 40mgs comfortably.  when Sam was born, he experienced NO withdrawal symptoms. I was worried sick for.nothing, however that is not always or even often the  case. Overall,  methadone maintenance has been a very positive experience."
