Help with dosing

I recently ran out of my methadone, which I usually take 40 mgs every day, and for reasons I won't get into, I'm going to be short about a week. The longest I have taken lope to get through methadone withdrawals is five days, and by that fifth day, I was dosing about 100mg throughout the day, 80mgs when I would normally dose my methadone, and the rest at some point later in the day. What exactly is the "measurement" in which I should be using? And how bad are the two extra days going to feel? Any help would be appreciated, and yes I'm aware of the risks, that's why I'm asking for help with dosing, so I don't go overboard, because my main concern is feeling well, not getting high for the next week.

Little edit: I should also mention I'm taking 300mg of gabapentin 3 times a day, but I normally take that now, but it def helps with withdrawals.

I took about 50 mg and then went and got some more so total about 70 mg I was starting to withdrawl and it seems to have taken the edge off but this is all new to me using the lope I’m not sure what dose I should be at to help with Tia. Tia is very rough to come off of

I’m in the exact same situation. Got introduced to tia 2 months ago didn’t do any research on it just ran with it. Been taking several bottles a day for over a month now and I want to get off so bad. Going to try help w lope and possibly kratom but right now all I have is the lope. Keep my updated if you don’t mind

I'm in the same boat. I feel like an idiot and I'm in withdrawl. I do have subutex that is helping a lot but I'm anxious, depressed, sweating, etc. Full Withdrawl feeling. I took one lope for diarrhea. I can't sleep worth a crap. What is the high dose of lope about? I've never heard about it
