First of all, you are doing good. Thumbs up re 5mg down from 10mg. This far in you almost ready for more reduction,

But...

This is unbelievable!

Methadone is not that expensive. Check the cost.

For some "insurer" to tell you to reduce dosage in a patient that is on a long term maintenance methadone treatment regardless of reason is insane.

I would pay for the methadone and fight them. Of if you do want to get off for your own reason then do it VERY slowly, very. Please don't rush. I am sure the money to pay for the stuff can be found. Don't let them take over your life like that.

Best to you, stay in control, take care, be careful.
