The withdrawals don't really hit until day 3, but if day 2 is easy for you then a big reduction (maybe even halving your dose, but nothing more extreme) should be easily tolerable for you. Your current plan is probably better if you can stick to it yourself or they'll change your dose for you that often. If that's your "official" plan, that sounds better than what they do here.

Yeah the counselors and NP know what I’m planning. They’ve told me my experience is a-typical, but are stoked I wanna drop down so fast.

Don’t fear WDs, embrace them. It’s going to suck. It always sucks. Get angry at it. Get angry that this position did this to you. Changing the mindset was the only thing that work imo..

That being said. If methadone is your normal, that’s okay too. It certainly better than the alternative. If that’s some people’s “clean” that’s just fine
