i was on 300mg a day, and what they did was formulate a dose of methadone to match the oxycontin, and slowly took me
off the
methadone day by day. you cant go cold turkey
off methadone. it`s approximately 3x the strength of methadone. so if you were on 40mg a day, you would need around 120mg of oxycontin a day to break even. taking that much, to get you off the methadone, it would take time, and by then you;d be addicted to oxycontin instead of methadone.
