I have been on methadone now for almost 5 mths. I go to a clinic and I now take 60 mgs. I have been having a terrible time trying to get on a stabile dose. I was feeling really good around 50 mgs but then started to decline again. so I increased.because of joint pain and muscle aches. I started to feel better but then bad agin. I struggle with "nodding off" which tells me I am taking to much but I also have joint pain and muscle aches and some depression which tells me I need to increase. The staff at the clinic are NOT helpful they don't have any answers. I want to feel good again, they say that when I find a stabile dose, it will make me feel good. They say I should feel just "normal" when the correct dose is found. I am frustrated and upset. i ALSO TAKE 200 MGS OF ZOLOFT DAILY, MAYBE THE TWO MEDS TOGETHER ARE CAUSING THE "NODDING OFF"? pLEASE HELP.
THENK YOU VERY MUCH!
