I was on methadone for 6 years. First two yrs, I took 90 mg and gained about 65lbs! I was always one of those enviable gals who could eat whatever and stay slim, and boy was that a shock. I felt like I was wearing a fat suit, and I could not believe how rude society is to overweight women. I tapered my dose down to 45 mgs after 2 yrs, lost about 35lbs, then tapered again to 24mgs and lost another 10lbs, then finally tapered to 6mgs and discontinued use. ALL the weight i put on just effortlessly melted away. it was amazing. day by day i was physically transforming into my old self and could wear my favorite "before" jeans again, which i had saved all those years just in case i ever could lose the weight. My story doesn't have a happy ending, though. I tapered too fast those last 20mgs, and I started using pills again, and after heading back down that road, I returned to methadone after 4 months. Now, 10 months later, I've gained back 30lbs. So here I am again. Exercise and diet don't do anything for me. It is strictly tied to the dose of methadone. Such a shame, too, because I feel mentally stable when I'm on methadone, but the weight makes me feel awful. Without methadone, I'm a basket case emotionally and it doesn't matter whether I look good or not because I'm either sobbing or screaming. I surely opened Pandora's box with my opiate use, that's for sure. There are so many of use in the same predicament, why are our only two options methadone or suboxone?
I know this is an old post and i hope that it renews or gets to you Henry,
Your post is awesome news to read. i have been on MMT for 1 1/2 yrs. and put on 60 plus pounds, i am off the meth 6 days and this is my 3 days on subs. so far, so good. i have to stay i didnt believe it would work for me ( like Im so unique) but its really awesome, I am pleasantly surprised, especially since i am working and can't kick and work at the same time its impossible.
