Anyone Get Sick Starting Methadone Treatment
Posted: 11-08-07 09:51am

Just started methadone treatment 7 days ago. I've been terribly ill since. Can't figure out if under dosed, over dosed, just sick, having withdrawels, or what. I'm very confused and don't want to give up on the treatment yet, but I can't go on being sick like this. Please help if you know anyone that has gone this. Need support big time. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this subject, it's very scary! Thank You, Jodi Sad
Oh yeah, the dosing went like this Friday 30mg, saturday 35mg, sunday i made them bring me back to 30mg, monday 30mg , tuesday doctor thought i was underdosed brought me up to 35mg, wednesday up to 40mg, thursday, today stayed at 40mg

Yes methadone can make some pretty sick. I would tell my doctor that it is making you ill and go from there. You probably have already. If this persists I would him/her know again right away. Methadone treatment is a very seious thing and you doctor needs to know exactly how you are feeling all the time. So let him know if this keeps up.
