Methadone Sweating and Tolerance Withdrawal

Anyways I still think you'll find that you'll sweat buckets even if you take it only once a day. That's methadone for you unfortunately. The only medication that I find helps take away those sweats is Clonidine, but being physically dependent on Clonidine is not fun. However if you find that you're sweating profusely every day and it's interfering with your daily functioning then give it a try I guess. Or buy yourself some really small white towels and keep one with you always.
 
I just switched from the juice to biscuts. My counselor @ the clinic told me to switch for the summer scince i live in florida and was haveing exact same symptoms as you. You are deff going through withdraws. If you are on liquid, switch to disks. If you can get "take homes" ask if you can do split doses. take one in morn and one in afternoon. I had to go up from 30mg to 50 because if i would get sick if a waited longer then 23 or 24 hours to dose.
 
im on 40mg of methadone and have been on that dose for over 2 years now but in the last few months at night i've been getting hot an cold sweats and feeling like w/d is starting to setting in though very mild. i've been working out side in the heat so does that make it wear off faster or no? i'm thinking of going up 10mg or so but really dont want to get higher than 55 or 60mgs. i started using some cimetidine to help but it hasnt done much yet so i guess going up on the dose is what i have to do.

The exact same thing happened to me when I was at 40mg. Only thing that helped was to increase my 'done dosage or taking a strong opiate/opioid.
 
Sweating was one of the main reasons I had to stop methadone.

It was horrible. I never had sweating issues in my life. When on methadone I felt dry for maybe 4 hours after my dose started working and then the rest of the day I was sweating easily and always felt this wetness of skin feeling. It drove me mad. It wasn't w/d. It was a side effects of methadone.

You have several options: accept it and live with it, get off methadone or go to a doctor and get something like clonidine for it.
 
When I get takehomes sometimes I do feel yucky and get insomnia. I may drink a third of my bottle wake up several hours later and drink the rest.....it seems like a good idea to maybe make 2 doses instead of 1......but 30mgs is awfully low dosing...
 
I guess I should see my doc about this. I always thought I was just a very sweaty person but I guess it must be the methadone after all.
