man this is getting annoying. if i step outside for 5 minutes im drenched in sweat. i dont even have to be moving. i can be sitting smoking a cigarette or something. its embarassing. guys at work are like" you ok man?". its frustrating. also, i have been craving rocky road ice cream lately. i have been eating alot of ice cream lately. i have been on methadone on and off for about 17 months. i have been on it straight for the past 6 or 7 months. im not going to relapse this time so i'll stay on and slowly taper down.
so what do i do? lower my dose? im on 65mgs of liquid. it doesnt have me nodding off or anything at work. actually, sometimes if i sit down on my lunch break i can doze off for a half hour or so. any help is much appreciated. im work inside, but have to do little things outside for 20 or 30 minutes here and there throughout the day. i bring extra clothes to change into as well. i have to work with the public, so i have to be presentable. any thoughts much appreciated. thanx alot.
 
I can't offer any real help, but I do know that both things are pretty normal.
One person I know was eating six or seven italin ices at one sitting....several times a day.
Are you doing the gallons of chocolate milk?
Like I said, no help.
 
no, no, not gallons. every night though i have a good size portion. probably the size of a 400ml milkshake.
 
also, i have never sweated like this before. this has just started happening within the last 6 or 7 months. i know its common to sweat, but this is happening from me just being outdoors. is there anything that can be done to reduce my amount of sweat?
