exercise while taking methadone

Well for starters I been through Suboxone and Methadone clinics several times over and relapsed. Currently Taking 2mg of Suboxone every other day and finally kicked all cravings for opiates. As far as the answer to your question, Working out weather it be cardio or lifting weights will help metabolize the methadone in your system faster. Back in the day when I would be drug tested once a week and was relapsing I discovered that when working out cardio and drinking lots of water I could pass drug tests within 24-36 hrs of abusing. So yes if your a big work out buff like me the methadone will dissipate somewhat in your system but not to the extent where your gonna go to bed dope sick because you had a long work out. Personally Keep the working out on a daily basis and your body will be be able to tolerate lower and lower dosages of methadone. Then switch to Suboxone, I'm at the point where I can almost go two days without a dosage of 2mg of the drug and working out daily and sweating out the toxins from you system was a big help to get me to the point where I am now. But try try to get off of methadone trust me once your on suboxone long enough you will forget why you ever liked opiates in the first place good luck and stay clean. :-D

While I was on methadone for 2 years I have been working out but not seeing no results....Now that I am clean I am getting ripped and bigger than ever...DID methadone have an effect on my body to where I was unable to grow??

Yes!!!!... I have been looking all over the place and found that yes methadone is eating up much faster if you vigorously exercise now I need to go up 10 milligrams to get the same effect.

U can still grow on methadone,I know a few blokes that r very big there either on bupe or done

Started takeing prenisone today and now lfeel like in withdrawals from my methadone any answers please

i always cringe when i read something like this. some people don't understand how terrible suboxone can be if you don't know anything about it. before getting on methadone, swim would pick up an 8mg every day out on the corner and it was helping keep him/her from going after stronger sh*t. when financial issues hit bottom, swim was cutting the pills in half. after a little while the feeling of NEEDING it wasn't really rearing its head. so then he/she cut the 4mg in half and took them once a day. after a few days swim was getting that slight almost euphoric feeling back. by this time swim had figured out what was going on. the less naloxone swim was taking (the second drug in suboxone if anyone didnt know) the higher he/she got. after maybe a week or so of 2mg daily, swim dropped it to 1mg. at this point swim was actually feeling like i was taking a handful of those 5mg oxycodones., swim was back to puking again after it hit his/her system. the best part was that it had some serious legs on it. getting dopesick wasn't even a thought in his/her head anymore, since averaging it out, swim was only paying 4 bux a day to nod. corner guy then stopped selling (must have gotten put away) and swim ended up going to the methadone clinic and found out it was a grand a month for subs or 275 a month for methadone. due to finances, swim was stuck to methadone and has been now for almost 5 years. basically the moral of the story is when you start getting a real low dose of subs, that's when you need to be real careful. you may think your ready to quit it and that your in total control, but you may just end up sicker then you were before. you always want to make sure your respecting a drug like buprenorphine, because that sh*t is strong.

Thank you for the advice. I have gained weight since I have been going to the methadone clinic and I am so ready to get off methadone so I am going to try and start a workout routine and start drinking more water. Thanks for the advice.

You cant go from methadone to suboxone, you would need to stop all methadone dor atleast a week and then start suboxone and at that point you might as well just stop adter suffering for a week.

suboxone is way worse than methadone ,methadone has been around a long time and proven stop listening to big pharma it's 10 times expensive that's why they push it .

True after 4/ 5 days of nearly hanging myself going cold turkey. The sad truth is if u need 80-120mg mdone perday…. As i do. Doing cold turkey… guess what u get to day 4… barely. Taking advil by the kilos and eating nothing. Moving around like a ape neeve sleeping in the worst feeling every hour that goes by u ever thought existed just to be alive. I mean just being alive was this painful. After all the suicidal thoughts, pressure, impossible movements and comfort for even 2 seconds. We now reach day 4-5. Point is i never made it passed that. Sure get to day 7/8 and stop completely would be great
