I have tapered down to 84mg from 120mg after giving birth two months ago.I stopped the taper because I am so nauseas all of the time...worse in the mornings.I wake up in severe pain and have constant headaches stemming from my upper back and neck area.The nurse at the clinic says it may be due to going down on my dose but my doctor says my dose is to high so I really don't know how to make these issues better.....I have an appointment with my stomach doctor next week I'm hoping he can help.But all of the exhaustion and pain and nausea have affected my life so badly....I had to give my newborn up for adoption and find myself slipping into depression....so far I am coping but I can't live like this forever.....any ideas

Wow wasn't that a snappy, snotty reply!

Bluedog114369 I realize I'm a year late to the party here, however telling Painful22 that the issues they're experiencing on methadone means they're allergic to opiates is a HUGE leap. Methadone works on completely different receptors (NMDA) than other opiates. Therefore, despite all being opiates they work differently. Be careful of the advice you give, some people are so desperate they listen when they should really be speaking to their physician.

I am a female who has been off of Heroin ( I. V.) For 6 years. I shot Heroin for 28 years. I had a huge tolerance. I am on 140 mg. Of methadone. I get headaches and upset stomach practically every day. I guess I just chalk it up to side effects.

Actually, you can be toxic even on a low dose of meth. It depends on your own body tolerance and how much you are used to taking. Been using 20mg 2x daily for bone cancer pain and medical staff constantly warn me to notice signs of toxicity.

Hi I am on 150mg I'm 4"11 and 110 29 year old female.....in. johnston rhode island. Yes I feel the same exact way! It's like a knot of evil in your stomach that goes away after a few hrs without notice. I hate it.....they told me I'd never get narcotics,but yet they give me the WORST ONE I hate feeling like this every morning.....and I get take homes.....so it's not like I can just wake up and take it but I have to at least wait till 530 6am.

The only thing that has helped me is medical marijuna cbd works witha mix of thc, but stright cbd works also most smokeshops (big ones)sell cbd cartridges u can put on a vape battery, it's expensive for the thc 50,and cbd is around 20 to 30 but it helps,not before u take the methadone sadly, and the xanax helps but omg do I feel like cap right now my head everything I found tums helps the stomach pain

Wrong! The nausea is withdrawal from rapid metabolism.. I experience it just 18-20 hours after dosing, even on 85mg!!

Sorry buddy. But you actually do get ' high ' of methodone if you take larger dosr yjan usual.

Yup your right. He's from experienced at 19. Fact of the matter he's just not old enough to be experienced on this topic. Methadone only gives you that nodding high feeling when you first start it and your dose is to high. No matter how high your dose once you are on it for 6 months tips you no longer experience any euphoria. I have been on for 7 years for heroin and I have taken a double dose a few times over the years and it makes no high feeling whatsoever. All it does is make you puke.

Im on 80mgs and it totally gets you high. been on it for a while and still catch myself nodding off here and there. Seems as though you have a problem with recovering addicts on Methadone compared to your circumstances and I hope that's not the case, but when talking about symptoms of two people on the same medication will still be the same regardless tot he reason that they or on that medication. The guy still had a voice and his opinion holds the same amount of weight as someone who is taking it for pain. or "PAIN" as you would say.

Hi I'm on 115 mg of methadone I've been up and down for six years and I get severely ill at least once a month. I feel like I need to vomit but nothing will come up I start sweating especially the back of my neck and shaking...It's so bad to the point I make myself get sick because I can't stand the feeling but it's only bile that comes out. I went for tons of tests including castroscopy I was hospitalized they did blood tests all normal. I asked my methadone doc. She said she didn't think it's due to the methadone.

I've been on methadone for years to combat moderately severe pain (I'll spare you the details) and have friends in the same boat. Our experience has been that constipation is the main cause of nausea and vomiting. If one is also taking other meds that slow or stop your "trains" from running on time (example: xanex) it can cause the worst side effect of:1st, burping farts (rotten egg-hydrogen sulfide) 2nd, severe vomiting for 8-12hours. It feels like your dying. I am not a Dr. but think it's due to over relaxed stomach sphincter muscle opening and or severe constipation. So for what it's worth this is my "program" to avoid this terible, probably life threatining experience. For breakfast I eat 7 prunes, 1 TBL spoon of Carlson's Norwegian cod liver oil (my acestrial grandmother's (Swiss) have know it's benefits for centuries) and 16oz of coffee. Limit dairy and excessive calcium and eat lots of fiber and walk as much as able. If I have not had at least one train (bowel movement) pull out of the station after 2 days I will then resort to milk of mag. laxitive. I would take stool softeners but for me they trigger severe migraines as does MSG & EDTA (food additives). FYI: I am 65, male, slightly over weight, with permanent chronic pain of several accidents (addreniline addict till 50), arthritus, (and more). I should have Evil Kenevil's pain mgt Dr. but the "opiod crisis" is a double edge sword that is hurting many who need narcotic's. My hope is in the Lord Jesus since this life is:"a test, a trust & is temporary. God bless. I believe God uses temp pain to help us avoid eternal pain. Study the disease of leprosy to get a clue about "the purpose of pain" God bless & being an old hippie I remind all that Jesus saves
