That sounds exactly like me, i guess my family will have to put up with it. Today so far ive been able to not get angry, easier now my meds have kicked in and im feeling much less sick. Mum hasnt bitches at me today either which is helping
Yeah I agree with everything that opiates can make people really angry/spiteful (including me sometimes) It's funny because you don't really notice what a arsehole you were at the time, or don't really care.
On methadone it's tricky because you can end up a really angry person while you're on it. Other opiate users are only a angry after they've taken their dose, but methadone is all the time.
On the other hand many of the methadone users I know (not all) must have adjusted to this effect long ago and are friendly, easy going people who manage stress reasonably well.
I can't say what's making you sick, but as someone else mentioned if you aren't getting any other withdrawal effects it's probably nausea from the methadone. You've never had full agonists in large doses before. Increasing your dose is a REALLY bad idea I think.
I would try and give it another week or two? Just keep in mind methadone doesn't provide it's nice effects consistently when you're taking it every day, it loses that 'magic' quick. You shouldn't be feeling sick though....hrmmm.
