The amount of methadone required when tapering off painkillers varies significantly based on individual factors such as the type and dosage of painkillers used, the duration of use, and the person's overall health. Typically, a healthcare provider will create a personalized tapering plan that may start with a low dose of methadone and gradually adjust it. It's crucial to follow a doctor's guidance to ensure safety and manage withdrawal symptoms effectively. Self-medication or adjustments without professional oversight can be dangerous.
