Methadone works in the reverse when your comming off it. When you take
methadone ,it stays
in your system 36 hrs and even llonger
in some. your body only metabloizes 80% of it which leaves you with a surplus of 20%, then you take your next dose and the same thing happens and so on every day until you reach a plateau.(this is how my dr explained it) Anyway as you take away methadone it does the same thing but in reverse. You can take away that first 2.
