I know people who went from 120 to 40 then down and without at least 10mg's a day after 1 year still have withdrawals % people I know who went off went back to 10 or 20 mg's. I was once on 440 mg's and got off by switching to 300mcg's of Duragesic as whether i took 220 or 440 I got same relief as it has ceiling. I took for pain, not addiction. Tell dr. to let you try at least 25mcg duragesic then withdrawal from there..I never told my Dr. i was with drawing myself off methadone just cutting in half and was off totally in a month without any effects. defiantly worse drug to come off of. 4 days after cold turkey you will wish you were dead. My friend went to e.r and they gave him 2 diliaudid shots and with Dr. approval as hospitals will not give c2 narcs except percs he got 100 mcg patch to use for 1 month and then went to 75-50-25-percocet til off.
