I think it’s valid , because not everyone takes it seriously. If you are a serious, patient than it’s a great help. But, it should be short term, not a life time
@@johnnyutah1720 i'v been taking methadone for 10 yrs on and of. Now i started taking it 4 years ago every single day and i'm fine i need to do some kind of opioid drug everyday or methadone. I tried subutex, suboxone, nalorex, acupuncture, but non of them worked for me except methadone thats why i take methadone every single day not to start doing drugs. Methadone its not good to take it more than 1 to 2 months cuz its very adictive and its hardest opioid to quit so for a person who was doing heroin/ opioids for 5 yrs straight its best for him/her to take methadone 3 months the most and that the minimal doses. Before 15 years i was shooting up by 7 grams of heroin per day the minimal dose was 5 grams a day but not less than 5 grams one day i decided to quit i bought 10mg bottle of methadone the next day i took 30 drops whics is one 1mg/cc and i was lil high and never beter for straight 12 hours but after a few days i start using dope again cuz methadone its not same as dope dope has better feleng but if you want to listen to me they both garbage start takin methadone just to quit drugs use it for a month the most than after a month be strong you gonna get well very fast trust me i with i wouldn't come this far using methadone but like i said whatever works for everyone.
@@yan8732 na one month isnt long enough to break them connections I got, not to mention the vicious cycle, and my addictive ass personality. I need more time. Sure methadone is bad in ways and addicting but on methadone I can still hold a job, excercise, handle responsibilities, and just live my life. Was never able to do that on h or pills. If I were to stop taking methadone now I'd end up right back where I started. You ever stop to think maybe you used methadone so long because you were off and on it. I havent touched a single drug since I started. To each their own...this is my journey. Thanks for input tho. ✌
Been on methadone 2 weeks now. 3 weeks ago I was a full blown junkie, lying, pawning shit, fucking up relationships. Now 2 weeks in I'm dieting, working out, already have a job, and mending relationships. It works for me, but everyone is different. I know I could not have quit on my own. I needed help. I hear horrors stories of coming off methadone, but I feel if I taper properly I will be fine. Any advice or any experiences with methadone I'd love to hear about....
Keep Up the great work brother!! Methadone helped me come off heroin. Now I'm off methadone completely, went down slowly 5 milligram at a time, faced little to no withdrawal symptoms coming off of it. Don't listen to the nay sayers. Keep working out, that helps, work hard, keep it up!!!
I've been on methadone for 6 years and I am a completely different person than the man I was 6 years ago. I don't even look the same. EVERYTHING got better, in time of course. My advice is don't rush yourself to get off of it, and don't let anyone else tell you that you need to. If you feel like you need lifelong methadone therapy, then there is nothing at all wrong with that. I know that I do, and I know that I will, that's no different than anyone else taking a medication for an illness. People just like to say 'you don't need that stuff forever' because they feel like you're 'weak' if you can't go without it. 99% of the time, those people haven't lived through addiction, and 100% of the time, those people aren't YOU, and don't matter. Do what's best for YOU, and don't let people who haven't lived through it, or who are uneducated on the subject tell you what to do during your recovery. I hope you're still doing well and I with you the very BEST! Congratulations :)
@@badnewsbruner well said. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being on methadone. In my eyes, you are still sober. It does not get hardcore addicts high. I took my time getting off of it. Was just happy to be able to live my life, was able to make a living, reconnect and build stronger relationship with my family and friends, enjoy hobbies all while on the program.
@@harrysack9164 I'm so glad it worked for you and you had a positive outcome :) I love hearing MMT success stories!! Also, even if your does is getting you a little buzzed, once you stabilize you only feel normal. After that, if you take more it ONLY makes you exhausted and you'll sleep all the time. That's the good thing about it, there is no incentive to keep upping your dose. We need more public education on opioid replacement therapy and the physiology of drug addiction in GENERAL. I mean, we had DARE in schools in my state, but they didn't tell you that you can become physically dependent on drugs and if you try and stop you'll feel like you're dying lol. If you speak to someone who doesn't know an addict, and has never been an addict, they'll know next to NOTHING about drugs and how the affect the human body. They'll just know that they make you feel good, and they ruin your life. That needs to change. I would love to go do speeches at schools etc. Once you get a few years of recovery under your belt and realize how much you just got back, you want others to be able to do the same. You want to share that happiness.
You can do it! When you decide to start going down, do it at the pace you fell comfortable with. I was on methadone for 5 years. It took me 2 years to go from 85mg to 1mg, but I did it successfully. You should be proud of yourself for choosing to change your life.
At the part where they say “there’s no one solution” and you see the cross and nails... man, Jesus IS the ONE and ONLY solution! Stop trying to do things on your own. Everyone needs Jesus. He will save you and take your addictions away if you truly seek His face. God bless you! 💙🙏🏻
What state are you in? Unfortunately, there are ppl like that in clinics, and it does make a bad look overall. There are serious patients, but even the serious patients are scrutinized.
The reason people are still using drugs is because the certain Dr and counselors are not allowing methadone increase which is what causes people to go used to take the symptoms away😢😢😢
Seriously I was on methadone I got down to 20 mg and it nearly killed me when I came off and I got on Suboxone and never looked back methadone was a drug invented by Hitler scientist in world war two because they ran out of morphine look it up the original name is Dolphine
I’m at 145mg every morning but I wake up with body aches cold sweat it’s mild not quite kicking but still I’m craving some fetty bad I want to go up to 160 or 180 maybe even 200 idk
Most of the general public dosn't understand the context of opioid receptors in your brain and when you've taken the drug for so long it changes your brain pattern to where you get sick if you don't have the drug in your system it's worked for me so far, you stop kinda feeling it after a while but your not sick and your thinking is more clear. All Im saying I guess is it works for me and I support it more clinics in more places...and fyi why are they showing a bunch of xanex's when it's an opioid crisis?
@@erinjensen2799 That's awesome I've been clean with methadone for over a year I still smoke weed but my day dosnt revolve around getting pills. I was tired of the chase I was at the edge of just ending my life when I started the program now I feel like I have a reason to go on and I want to do something with my life I want a wife and a child or two and I want them to have a better life than I have but I'm getting older and times running out. Plus being sober alot of feeling from years ago start coming out like I find myself thinking about my first love alot and want to go back in time and fix it but I really wanna just be over it and meet someone else and love her more but I'm still waiting for the one to come around I guess. How long have you been clean? What's it been like for you? Do old feelings like that re-suface with you when you got clean?
I started methadone ( 80mls) a day 3 months ago, its unbelievable how its helped me stay off heroin, I am aiming to slowly reduce my daily intake untill I dont need it anymore, I am not rushing the process I understand how my mind and body work, everyone is different. So I am a believer in this treatment.
Thats awesome n your right dont rush at all ive been clean now 10 yrs n starting to come down a little now i do it when im ready or feel like right time n frame off mind everyones different tho but it helped me beyond so alll the luck any any ? Feel free to ask n u got this its def worth it
Please dont take this wrong , pills , or heroin is no comparison to withdrawls from Methadone. But if it's helping , stay on it. I only have a suggestion as a 4 year Methadone 4 year heavy opiate user prior to Methadone. Try out a NA meeting. You would be very surprised the impact of people struggling daily and staying strong will have. Because truth be told , it is a constant battle. But with the right support and help , it gets easier. Stay strong and overcome.
It lowers testosterone, causes low bone density, severe constipation, makes you hot all the time and extremely tired and lazy, I was on 100 mgs for 20 years, getting off was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done
@@yan8732 straight up , no bullshit. I wasnt ready to quit , so I tried. The worst pain ever. Once I got it in my head I was done with Methadone, I never had any withdraw symptoms. 4 years of Methadone. Cravings from opiates aren't shit compared to the "cravings" for Methadone. Pills , I would hurt but Methadone withdraw had me in a fetal position with keg pains from hell. Serious as hell , really get it in your head your done , and it will be gravy as hell
Here is my story. I went to a clinic. Got down from 110mg to 60mg on my own. The clinic had me come in 2x a month. Once at 60mg I couldn't get lower. Life wasn't worth it anymore. So I went to detox and have been living in pure hell ever since for the last 35 days after detox. My organs are messed up and I have infections in my abdomen. There is something wrong with me now and I was on the program for 2 years Also never a street user once. All from surgeries. Methadone can help people with strong will but eventually it will kill u. Age you fast, make your teeth fall out. Just go into treatment. This was worse than coming off of pain pills. I sleep 3 to 4 hours a night, sweat and freeze all day, have constant headaches and this is nothing compared to the first month. Whatever high you get from drugs you will pay 100 fold in suffering when the high is gone. I'm suffering because of my own stupidity. My friends are dead though so at least I'm alive.
I understand rectal slug it's been two years since I've done nothing I still don't feel right but now I'm on kratom it's giving me motivation back to clean up the message I acquired from no motivation in withdrawals
I'm fn scared after reading your comment and I've read a lot of comments and heard a lot of advice from people but for some reason this just got to me I need to get out the clinic before it gets a hold of me, I'm only on my third day
Methadone saved my life. I was homeless with two small children, no car, no job. Nine years later, I have been living un my rental home for 8 years, I just paid off my car. I have my own house cleaning business and money in my savings account. It's not for everyone, but if you work the program correctly, it can give you the stability you desperately need to get your life back.
7 years ago I was dead and broke...now I have a masters degree, Rolex and million dollar home. Also never failed a drug test in 7 years. I’d say it’s helpful.
Pain management kicked me out for being pregnant. I’m a burn victim and on 30 mg Methadone since years. Sadly the clinic are the only ones now that’ll see me. They were shocked by what happened.
@@badnewsbruner they claimed new studies say it’s fine. I lost my pregnancy in the bathroom while in withdrawal. My new doctor is great though. He said it was malpractice.
Me too doll. 9yrs clean here in Scotland. Be proud. Fuck the ignorant. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻🙏🏻🏴 Am editing because I hear you PAY for it? Crikey! I'm written sick with CPTSD but I'd like to send you money towards your methadone pls. What's the bloody point stopping if your lifestyle earning cash for it doesn't cease? Bloody unbelievable! I could send you £20 a wk including the postage? Caroline, 37 Dingwall. I'm alone ever since getting clean. Could enjoy a friend to write a letter to. Let me know doll. Keep your chin up, stay safe, try to be thankful for what you have, u never know, you could find all the love you need in a rescue dog like I do. Nothing like loyalty after our time of it out there. Well let me know. If not, I don't mean to offend at all. Msg bk if u would like a pen pal anyway. I'm rooting for you. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻🙏🏻🏴
@@caracopland710 I just started methadone 2 weeks ago. It cost $16 a day where I’m at and I have to drive 1.5 hour each way to get my dose every single day except Sunday. I have a job and can afford it thank god but it makes me feel good when I see success stories as yours
I know a junkie who would get up at 5a.m. he would forego food, sleep, morning coffee, bathing, he had to hit that clinic on Madison Ave in Covington and he called it "Dosing". 🤮 He was sweating buckets, he got fired from his waiter job for nodding at work while taking orders. I never saw anyone nod before, till he got on that shit Burning holes in my carpet all night, leaving every light on. I'd have to sit up at night afraid he was gonna burn my building down. He had sweat pour off him and was smoking pot EVERY DAY on top of 90mg on Methadone. He'd lie & say he was lowering the mg and I caught him in the lie. I wondered if the employees at this "clinic" would sell it to him if they knew he was smoking like 8 joints a day! I couldn't get the stupid bastard out of my house & I was ashamed to be seen in public with him cause people probably judged me because of him! And I never once saw him do that crap till he started going to that clinic!
🤣🤣🤣 well he obviously had an addiction if he was going to the clinic. So he hid it from you until he was attempting to get clean and then you shit on him fir trying to better himself. You sound like a miserable, ignorant twat.....if I had someone like you in my life I'd be smoking weed and doing drugs too. Help people don't JUDGE THEM!! Have a great day ✌🤣🤣
@@jfkassnation5980 Benzos most likley. I used to mix xanax with my methadone and nod and do all that stuff she said the guy was doing. I even got fired for nodding out at one of my jobs.
I'm living with my sister in law who takes 120 milligrams of methadone per day and is now taking gravol with it. I find her nodded off on my couch and she looks dead 4x a day then she passes out in my bathroom a few times per day! I hate this drug! Methadone is dangerous and I don't know what to do? Now mixing gravol? What is the two mixed together in her system doing to her?? Help me someone plz
@@antjane6765 120mg a day will not make you overdose if they slowly upped her dose, many people have such a dose for years. Only if she takes more than that or was given 120mg irresponsibly she might overdose. If she nods out im guessing she has been given it irresponsibly, or shes taking more. Im on 80, but used to be on 150, and never nodded out from methadone, if you been on it for a while its all good.
@@timdeathly same here I’m on 200 mg dose but I’m on a split dose I drink 90 at the clinic and bring home 120 just for that day the rest of the month I split it myself because I have a monthly pick up because I’ve been clean for over ten years now and before y’all start judging me I’m a very sick person on oxygen 24 hrs a day,Neuropathic fibromyalgia, and a shit load of other things so my primary Dr. decided not to take me off of methodone because it really does help me a lot, I don’t and won’t abuse this stuff now if a clean person was to use methodone it could be deadly, I thank God every day for this stuff or I would probably be dead ..
IT'S A DISGUSTING satanic government drug to depopulate the poor first. PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOST HIGH GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS'S ALMIGHTY NAME!!!!!!!!!
All that means is she is on too high of a dose. I've been on methadone for almost a decade and you would never know. The only time I've ever nodded was when my body was still getting use to it. She is either on too high of a dose, doubling her dose with take home bottles or mixing it with something else like a benzo.
I started on 40, and that's the maximum starting dose. But i did have an interview asking how much i was using, and some people start way lower because of that.
95$ per week is definitely an improvement from what you spend on dope daily but it is still a lot. This is 5 years ago so things have changed. My clinic in CT takes health insurance and if you don’t have insurance it is 60 per week. It used to be $40.
From experience i can say it helps short time, bur only to replace street drugs and save money. It do only get your addiction worse if you keep on using suboxone or buprenorphine
Methadone is for people that wants to continue to getting high...the only difference is you don't have to spend half your live chasing or looking for the shit...i was on methadone...got tired of nodding out...like a junkie...I take Subutex
Your dose was too high because you lied about withdrawal to your doctor so you could get high from it. People looking to get better...get better. I hope you get well!
Shoulda never been on it in the first place with your little pussy opiate tolerance just cus you got high on your methadone doesnt mean everyone does fucking sick of people saying this stupid shit oh suboxone is so much better blah blah blah okay bro cool theres addicts that have a way higher dependancy than you that need it because suboxone doesnt work well enough. Keep your ignorant ass opinion to yourself
@@sandrarawn2147 what does gravol mean? Is she taking it for pain or did she just start at the clinic for addiction? Do you know her prior opioid tolerance? Either way she should become tolerant to the effects like that in a couple weeks where you wouldnt even notice shes on it but do keep an eye on her when you say shes sleeping all over the house do you mean shes nodding out or shes just legitimately sleeping alot? If its the latter dont worry shes fine but if shes nodding then like i said just look out for her because they may be raising her dose too quickly but she should adjust accordingly, i dont want to scare you just bringing the facts methadones can be tricky in the beginning overdoses generally happen in the beginning as theyre adjusting dose its not common for an overdose to occur when medically treated right but everybody reacts differently and they do happen occasionally, my clinic hands out narcan to every patient. Just talk to her and voice your concern but in a way that doesnt make her defensive of her medication, i hope the best
@@jamespuckett1770🇨🇦 hello and thank you so much for getting back to me. Gravol is a over the counter medication for upset stomachs. The side effects causes everyone that takes it to become sleepy. My word the methadone is making her pass out where she sleeps, let alone adding gravol to it. Scares me half to death. I lost my 30 years old daughter to addiction. She passes away Dev 2018
Is that even a valid question ask a recovering heroin user if it's hurting or helping what a dumb question.
Is it helping or not for you?
I think it’s valid , because not everyone takes it seriously. If you are a serious, patient than it’s a great help. But, it should be short term, not a life time
@@jessicajames1599 how long do you suggest taking it? I heard one year is the best and most effective.

Whatever high you get from drugs you will pay 100 fold in suffering when the high is gone. I'm suffering because of my own stupidity. My friends are dead though so at least I'm alive.
I understand rectal slug it's been two years since I've done nothing I still don't feel right but now I'm on kratom it's giving me motivation back to clean up the message I acquired from no motivation in withdrawals
I'm fn scared after reading your comment and I've read a lot of comments and heard a lot of advice from people but for some reason this just got to me I need to get out the clinic before it gets a hold of me, I'm only on my third day
Methadone saved my life. I was homeless with two small children, no car, no job. Nine years later, I have been living un my rental home for 8 years, I just paid off my car. I have my own house cleaning business and money in my savings account. It's not for everyone, but if you work the program correctly, it can give you the stability you desperately need to get your life back.
7 years ago I was dead and broke...now I have a masters degree, Rolex and million dollar home. Also never failed a drug test in 7 years. I’d say it’s helpful.
Congrats on your success! I was wondering, are you still on Methadone today?
Pain management kicked me out for being pregnant. I’m a burn victim and on 30 mg Methadone since years. Sadly the clinic are the only ones now that’ll see me. They were shocked by what happened.
@@mikek7029 I’ve been on it for ten years and never abused it. I’m just shocked how my doctor reacted to my pregnancy.
@@MileinaJuarez That is very bizarre considering that methadone is give to pregnant mothers.
@@badnewsbruner they claimed new studies say it’s fine. I lost my pregnancy in the bathroom while in withdrawal. My new doctor is great though. He said it was malpractice.
@@MileinaJuarez I agree with your new doctor, fully.
Look I know it's a touchy subject but methadone DOES save life's if the person really wants to change!
Methadone clinics should be shut down. Exterminate them all.
I can see it should help. But not for years on end. Sad. World
Why is there no place that comes in and actually asks the clients you know the ones whose insurance paying those people for help
Some counselors act like they're more of a probation officer than a counselor
What an ignorant headline.
They just had to show some blue footballs didn't they... FAHK!
anyone else notice they keep showing double gs and those are xans not methadone
methadone absolutely saved my life and gave me my life back.
Me too doll. 9yrs clean here in Scotland. Be proud. Fuck the ignorant. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻🙏🏻🏴 Am editing because I hear you PAY for it? Crikey! I'm written sick with CPTSD but I'd like to send you money towards your methadone pls. What's the bloody point stopping if your lifestyle earning cash for it doesn't cease? Bloody unbelievable! I could send you £20 a wk including the postage? Caroline, 37 Dingwall. I'm alone ever since getting clean. Could enjoy a friend to write a letter to. Let me know doll. Keep your chin up, stay safe, try to be thankful for what you have, u never know, you could find all the love you need in a rescue dog like I do. Nothing like loyalty after our time of it out there. Well let me know. If not, I don't mean to offend at all. Msg bk if u would like a pen pal anyway. I'm rooting for you. ✌🏻❤️💪🏻🙏🏻🏴
@@caracopland710 I just started methadone 2 weeks ago. It cost $16 a day where I’m at and I have to drive 1.5 hour each way to get my dose every single day except Sunday. I have a job and can afford it thank god but it makes me feel good when I see success stories as yours
@@whatmattsayz9427 so u drive 3 hours a day ur saying...
They are helping, period. All objective data shows this. Please stop with the misleading titles that only misinform people.
Helping, methadone and Suboxone are a literal life saver. They may have downsides but they do not compare to that of using street drugs
I know a junkie who would get up at 5a.m. he would forego food, sleep, morning coffee, bathing, he had to hit that clinic on Madison Ave in Covington and he called it "Dosing". 🤮
He was sweating buckets, he got fired from his waiter job for nodding at work while taking orders.
I never saw anyone nod before, till he got on that shit
Burning holes in my carpet all night, leaving every light on. I'd have to sit up at night afraid he was gonna burn my building down. He had sweat pour off him and was smoking pot EVERY DAY on top of 90mg on Methadone.
He'd lie & say he was lowering the mg and I caught him in the lie. I wondered if the employees at this "clinic" would sell it to him if they knew he was smoking like 8 joints a day!
I couldn't get the stupid bastard out of my house & I was ashamed to be seen in public with him cause people probably judged me because of him!
And I never once saw him do that crap till he started going to that clinic!
🤣🤣🤣 well he obviously had an addiction if he was going to the clinic. So he hid it from you until he was attempting to get clean and then you shit on him fir trying to better himself. You sound like a miserable, ignorant twat.....if I had someone like you in my life I'd be smoking weed and doing drugs too. Help people don't JUDGE THEM!! Have a great day ✌🤣🤣
Dude, he was obviously pounding more than his recommended dose. Probably abusing benzos unbeknownst to you
@@jfkassnation5980 Benzos most likley. I used to mix xanax with my methadone and nod and do all that stuff she said the guy was doing. I even got fired for nodding out at one of my jobs.
Helping 10000%
Of course it is more potent than heroine
Methadone is not sobriety it is a substitute. Lets be honest...
I'm living with my sister in law who takes 120 milligrams of methadone per day and is now taking gravol with it. I find her nodded off on my couch and she looks dead 4x a day then she passes out in my bathroom a few times per day! I hate this drug! Methadone is dangerous and I don't know what to do? Now mixing gravol? What is the two mixed together in her system doing to her?? Help me someone plz
She is on way too much!! If she does not lower her dose she will die. Period. Speak to her prescriber fast
@@antjane6765 120mg a day will not make you overdose if they slowly upped her dose, many people have such a dose for years. Only if she takes more than that or was given 120mg irresponsibly she might overdose. If she nods out im guessing she has been given it irresponsibly, or shes taking more. Im on 80, but used to be on 150, and never nodded out from methadone, if you been on it for a while its all good.
@@timdeathly same here I’m on 200 mg dose but I’m on a split dose I drink 90 at the clinic and bring home 120 just for that day the rest of the month I split it myself because I have a monthly pick up because I’ve been clean for over ten years now and before y’all start judging me I’m a very sick person on oxygen 24 hrs a day,Neuropathic fibromyalgia, and a shit load of other things so my primary Dr. decided not to take me off of methodone because it really does help me a lot, I don’t and won’t abuse this stuff now if a clean person was to use methodone it could be deadly, I thank God every day for this stuff or I would probably be dead ..
IT'S A DISGUSTING satanic government drug to depopulate the poor first. PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MOST HIGH GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS'S ALMIGHTY NAME!!!!!!!!!
All that means is she is on too high of a dose. I've been on methadone for almost a decade and you would never know. The only time I've ever nodded was when my body was still getting use to it. She is either on too high of a dose, doubling her dose with take home bottles or mixing it with something else like a benzo.
Methadone destroyed my brain. It is a horrible drug.
Are you sure it was as the Methadone that ruined your brain and not the drugs???Hum
Everyone’s introduction dose would be 35, and each day or week you work up to a stabilizing dose,.. The clip of the intake interview, is not accurate
I started on 40, and that's the maximum starting dose. But i did have an interview asking how much i was using, and some people start way lower because of that.
95$ per week is definitely an improvement from what you spend on dope daily but it is still a lot. This is 5 years ago so things have changed. My clinic in CT takes health insurance and if you don’t have insurance it is 60 per week. It used to be $40.
Free in Canada 🇨🇦 and they deliver lol
If your comin here to get high than in my eyes ur tryin to trick a system 😝 lol
From experience i can say it helps short time, bur only to replace street drugs and save money. It do only get your addiction worse if you keep on using suboxone or buprenorphine
Zanman
🇨🇦😥I'm afraid for her
Naltrexone...nasty stuff. Wouldn't recommend it.
Methadone is for people that wants to continue to getting high...the only difference is you don't have to spend half your live chasing or looking for the shit...i was on methadone...got tired of nodding out...like a junkie...I take Subutex
Your dose was too high because you lied about withdrawal to your doctor so you could get high from it. People looking to get better...get better. I hope you get well!
Shoulda never been on it in the first place with your little pussy opiate tolerance just cus you got high on your methadone doesnt mean everyone does fucking sick of people saying this stupid shit oh suboxone is so much better blah blah blah okay bro cool theres addicts that have a way higher dependancy than you that need it because suboxone doesnt work well enough. Keep your ignorant ass opinion to yourself
Can you tell me about gravol with methadone. My sister in law is sleeping all over my house. She looks dead? I don't know what to do
@@sandrarawn2147 what does gravol mean? Is she taking it for pain or did she just start at the clinic for addiction? Do you know her prior opioid tolerance? Either way she should become tolerant to the effects like that in a couple weeks where you wouldnt even notice shes on it but do keep an eye on her when you say shes sleeping all over the house do you mean shes nodding out or shes just legitimately sleeping alot?
If its the latter dont worry shes fine but if shes nodding then like i said just look out for her because they may be raising her dose too quickly but she should adjust accordingly, i dont want to scare you just bringing the facts methadones can be tricky in the beginning overdoses generally happen in the beginning as theyre adjusting dose its not common for an overdose to occur when medically treated right but everybody reacts differently and they do happen occasionally, my clinic hands out narcan to every patient.
Just talk to her and voice your concern but in a way that doesnt make her defensive of her medication, i hope the best
@@jamespuckett1770🇨🇦 hello and thank you so much for getting back to me. Gravol is a over the counter medication for upset stomachs. The side effects causes everyone that takes it to become sleepy. My word the methadone is making her pass out where she sleeps, let alone adding gravol to it. Scares me half to death. I lost my 30 years old daughter to addiction. She passes away Dev 2018
Methadone & Klonopin & Xanax 👍
