methadone not working this time around

[hardknoxkicker]

hi there got a major problem going on right now with my methadone treatment. First off got to tell you that I was using anywhere from a g n a half to 2 gs a day of heroin. Been using for yr n half and my life was getting real bad so wanted to stop.Even though I love the f*ck out of it. I was on 240mg of methadone h8 yrs ago for oxycontin abuse(never touched black). Then I got a DUI and tapered down to 140mg after 3 yrs of tapering. Now I was comatose on 240mg. And on 140mg I was great. Then, I got off it and got back on 2 yrs later when i was at 80mg which worked well. K then stopped methadone 1 yr ago and got hooked to black.

So now I have been on methadone for 3 months and now I am at 130mgs and it sucks dick. I wake up sick in withdrawl EVERY morning!!! I start to feel uncomfortable around 8pm. Take clonidine to sleep. a lot of clonidine..The clinic I go to sucks and don't put people on high doses unless you get all these tests done. I don't understand why I don't feel it like I used to. It used to make me feel real good. Now barely keeps me well. I still use dope 1 or 2 times a week if the wds get real bad but I don't get high from it anymore it just keeps me well. And on the weekends I get an extra dose of mdone 110mg and take it with my 130mgs which is 240mgs I take sats and even that much doesn't do it for me either! Ahh, rrr its soo frustrating I feel like giving up.. but I am determined. Anyone have any suggestions? love to hear them. Do ya think it will work if I get on a higher dose? Should I do/try something else ? Anyone know anything to take to increase the effect of it. tried tagament-did nothing cant do benzos, grapefruit juice does nada and visteril nada eithr.

Tolerance is a bitch. It takes a lot longer for opioid tolerance to go down than it takes to go up, by a factor of a gabazadillion. That's probably it.

Here's an idea. Quit using heroin, and quit abusing your prescribed methadone. if your dose doesnt hold you, talk to the methadone clinic doctor. It is their job to make sure your dose is working. You might be surprised how meds work when used as prescribed. Google "self control".

When I was on methadone in the 90's, here in Texas, the maximum dose allowed by law was 100mg/day. If you could get special permission from Austin, you could get up to 120mg, but NOBODY was legally prescribed more than 120mg.

Sorry you didn't like my answer. It was 100% honest. I was on the H train for the better part of a decade, and at the methadone clinic daily for around 5 years. I might not be the most PC person you'll meet, but I wont lie to you.

Bullshit. Everyone lies. I bet you it was the worst part of a decade that you were on H, and it was probably more like a roller coaster. See. Everyone lies.
