lol.. yes, peanut is one of my terms of endearment, especially for those still blessed with youth.

It’s so hard to say how this is going to go for you!! I wish I knew.. Sometimes we play up the brutal w/d in our heads and when it actually happens, we’re pleasantly surprised the symptoms are not as bad as we thought they’d be. I’m hoping this is the case for you. It could also be, as you know, the long half life of the methadone but you’re quite a ways out and I’m really hoping that the dramatic taper you did, to get to this point, helped you out in this stage. Wait it out, peanut! Maybe.. just maybe.. it won’t be so bad? If you end up with an easy w/d, you may consider just skipping the sub.. since you only planned on taking it a few months anyway. No use in tapering/ jumping off two things. Obviously though, use it if you need it.

Keep me posted, I am rooting for you!
