Do you lose the weight that methadone puts on you?

I have been on methadone for 2 years. I am 5'5 and before methadone 125. In the last 2 years i gained 90lbs!! Yes 90.
My doctor said that is was the mehtadone. I have detoxed off methadone, while the weight go away.
I go the gym 3-4 days a week. and while on it ,could NEVER lose weight.  
PLEASE HELP THIS IS ALL NEW TOO ME.

Welcome the the forum, you are in the right place. I want to encourage you to go to the top of the page and click on "Post a Question" and start your own thread so you don't get lost. Tell us how much you are taking. A slow taper is the best way to get off methadone. Look forward to getting to know you.
