Methadone Clinic Not Helping, Need Advice. (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello.. I recently started going to the Methadone clinic to help me with my addiction to H and painkillers. I am currently on 60 mg. They have been moving me up very slowly because I have liver issues. I am still experiencing bad WD symptoms in the evening and it's driving me nuts! I also have several autoimmune diseases. I don't know if it could be because of the diseases or maybe 60 mg, it isn't high enough to keep me good 24/7 yet. Any ideas or advice? My boyfriend is angry with me because I'm still sick 10-12 hours after I get my dose. He's not the only one frustrated though. I'm living through it still, and I thought the clinic would be the answer :-(

Hello, Nikki! How are you?

It seems the clinic is trying to help, but they must be cautious due to your liver problem, so it may take awhile for you to reach the proper dose.

When do you go in for another adjustment?

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Hi Nikki! I was on methadone 4 almost 8 years, due 2 Oxy addiction. They started me at 30. I ended up going up to 110. Because, I was still withdrawing. It took time 2 reach the 110. They have 2 do it slowly. I'm sorry about your ailments and hope u feel better, soon.
