Lol i doubt you would qualify it mainly for people who are at their wits end anf have tried methadone, Suboxone and every treatment in the book with no succes. Some people dont react well to methadone or Suboxone so this is a better option. Its more expensive short term quite a bit more but in the long term its gonna be way cheaper for taxpayers than methadone is which is alwayd good. It will be much healthier and easier on the body compared to high dose methadone imagine actually being able to shit and not being in a fog all day where you sweat even doing simple tasks such as making your bed. So many people go on methadone doses that are 3-4 times higher in opiates than their previous heroin habit was.
I've been on MMT now for a few years and
oh my goodness I can't stop sweating whenever I physically exert myself for more than 10 minutes. And I mean moderate exertion, not sprinting or something of that intensity. And when I do start sweating, it's as if its pouring out of my sweat glands.
Edit - The worst area of my body by far is my forehead in relation to the sweating.
That being said, it doesn't smell like my usual, B.O. sweat, but rather like a chemical-type odor - makes sense. And then I heard that apparently sweating while on MMT causes the blood level and half-life of Methadone to decrease, as does Vitamin C for whatever reason (not sure if it's true though).
Unfortunately, even after all this time I don't know what to do in order to reduce the sweating.
I have tried using Clonodine several times, but it always kicks my ass (knocks me out cold) and doesn't do much in terms of helping to reduce perspiration.
Edit - The only thing that helps is to have a good fan blowing in my face, but that's just a band-aid at best. A colder climate also helps, as I've noticed that my heat tolerance has decreased significantly. I used to abhor winter, but now I enjoy it immensely, which is something I never expected.
Other than stopping the Methadone altogether, anyone happen to know if there's something which can be used to help with this?
I was thinking of rubbing antiperspirant all over my body, but then I was thinking it might kill me - hah...
P.S. - I tried Buprenorphine under medical supervision twice, but it hasn't helped much with withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Wish HAT would be available here. Part of the reason I want to move to Switzerland is because of their HAT program, as well as the fact that I have a lot of family residing in Genestrerio and Geneva. Furthermore, it's right smackdab in the middle of mainland Europe, which is so convenient if I wish to check out a rave in Amsterdamn, the sights and sounds of Paris, the historical landmarks of Rome, and so forth. Sigh... I wish.
