HELP HELP HELP!!!
Hello fellows, I just recently switched from Subutex to Methadone. I did great during the switch, but you also can switch right away if you're switching from subutex to methadone, the other way is much trickier.. Well, I was moving up from 30mgs, from 5mg daily, now I'm up to 60mg. (which isn't real high but about average.) At about the 50mg mark I was noticing I was getting close to a good dose where I could start to get stable. But I also started noticing a bit of anxiety approaching me as the day went on.. Recently, I have been steady at 60mg, and I would notice some anxiety coming on whenever the meds would kick in but it wouldn't last too long. I've always had anxiety throughout my life, but I've learned to mostly cope with it.. Overall the anxiety truly isn't what this post is about..
The other day, I was at work, when all of a sudden I began to feel EXTREMELY weird and was getting this feeling of Deja Vu that was flashing through me in waves.. I kind of was having this ringing noise in my head and lots of beeps that would remind you of some kind of futuristic radar of some sort. I was just getting this strange sense of familiarity, and it was very uncomfortable and felt very negative. I was lightheaded, and honestly the feeling I was having is so hard to explain it seems impossible. Well, I tried to continue working but the feeling kept flashing through me and it was almost like I felt like I have felt these flashes before, but I can't place when it happened. My vision was blurry and kind of darker than normal. I started to freak out and went inside of my work and sat down and started slamming water thinking I was dehydrated. Another thing that crossed my mind was that I was going to have a seizure, and I thought about how people say that they have unexplained feelings of deja vu before seizures.
The place that I work at is very strenuous work, sometimes I feel lightheaded and like I'm going to pass out if I don't slow down, but I'm usually okay. I didn't have anything to eat that day, so I tried to debunk it by saying my blood sugar was low. I WAS WRONG!!
Now that I've been steady on 60Mg for the past 5 days or so, I've been experiencing this feeling while driving, while sitting at home, or while I'm at work.. It happens several times throughout the day, and honestly I have no idea what it is what so ever, but just want it to stop because it's extremely frightening.. I'm going to go down on my dose tomorrow to see if that helps anything, I was wondering if maybe my dose is too high for me and I'm just experiencing negative side effects from that.. If anyone has any feedback at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have any mental health issues or anything of that nature, and questions I'll be glad to answer. I've asked my nurse at the treatment center about these unwanted feelings, and she looked at my like I was crazy. I know you guys are not doctors, but if you've experienced anything like this on methadone let me know. I'm trying to focus on treatment but if these feelings keep happening I don't want to continue this methadone. I've never had a seizure before other than one time when I smoked the synthetic marijuana, but I don't think it was a seizure maybe just a black out. Let me know guys PLEASE!! THANKS!!
