I just started MMT last Friday. They started me at 30 mg, then a 10 mg increase every day to 60 mg, which I get twice, followed by two doses of 70 mg and then they stop you at 80 mg. I just took my second dose of 60 mg. I just got out of detox three weeks ago this upcoming Friday so I don't have much of a habit. However, I still don't feel well. I am still getting the chills and sweating profusely. I know that the sweating may be a side effect of the methadone but it is not just sweating, it is accompanied with the clammy, want to crawl out of your skin feeling. Sunday and Monday I took 400 mg of tagamet two hours before my dose and a couple of swigs of robitussin afterwards and I was nodding out for an hour or so. Then I decided I don't want to start chasing a high because I know I am going to lose it and then I may end up backing to doing dope. I tried to find the Methadone megathread but for some reason I can't find it.
I asked the doctor if she prescribes clonidine for the sweating (this was before I was even dosed my first day and had heard that sweating is a common side effect) and she said no because of an occasional heart problem that some people experience with methadone, the clonidine could complicate it. I saw somewhere online a medication called biperiden. Anyone have any information on that?
Also, I looked up those vitamins they market towards people on Methadone called Vitadone. I think there mostly for people with Hep C as they contain no iron, I am not sure.
It's only been two days but I have been constipated and tried a gentle laxative, which didn't work. I have been drinking water with benefiber and even tried an enema, which hasn't even left my body yet (about two hours)
Anyone have any tips and tricks lol to help with constipation and/or about methadone in general. This was a real hard decision to make. I got out of detox and gave my first urine, went back to the do the second the following week couldn't pee and didn't return the next day because I had decided against. After I sold my second Playstation 3 I decided I should at least give this a try. I almost walked out of the clinic the morning of my admittance as well. I was confident I could do it on my own this time if I really made the decision to stop, but I know that doesn't last more than a few weeks for me. Thank you for any feedback.
