They lowered me to 30mg slowly and switched me to
Suboxone for the tour because it is illegal to have methadone
in Japan. I had no choice but to switch. As I was on the plane I started sweating and feeling withdrawl symptoms after 20 something hours since my last methadone dose so I took the Suboxone like my doctor said when that feeling of withdrawl came on. I felt fine after that and took the suboxone twice a day for 1 months and was sober the whole Japan tour!
