I am on Methadone for pain, and I have gained about 70 pounds. I am afraid to tell you the only way to loose the weight may be to stop taking the Methadone or switch to something else.

Water retention and weight gain on methadone are not unusual. Many people gain weight from better eating habits. Your metabolism may also slow down, and this can result in some weight gain. All opiates have an "antidiuretic effect" which causes water retention. For some people, the water gain is more pronounced. Wide swings in weight could indicate another problem. You should definitely discuss water weight gain with your doctor if you also have shortness of breath, leg swelling, or swelling in the abdomen.
