The things you are noticing are normal while taking methadone.Do you know how much OC he was taking? Methadone is a strong drug and a bear of a detox.The sooner he starts tapering off the better.I was on it for almost 2 years and have been clean from it for well over a year now.If I can help,just ask.....All the best...Kim
Hello I am also on methadone and have been 2 yrs, It has helped me in many ways and I have gotten my life back on track. I am on 95mg but that is after 2 yrs when I first started I was also on 30mg. Sometimes when your dose may be a little high or you getting use to taking methadone you can nod and get sleepy. DOes cause sweating, sugar crave,

He is nineteen and I'm not sure about the amount of OC. I know it was a lot and he was on it for at least 1-2 years. His family tried to talk him out of the methadone but he visited the clinic and of course they shared many "success stories" so he is convinced that it is a good decision...I hope it is. I believe the 30mg is the high point because he is on a program to taper his doses. Of course I am not 100% sure on this but I will ask him. As I said, I'm really worried about the extremely anxious behavior that I am seeing. He is also sweating a lot but I did read that that was a common side effect w/ methadone.
how old is he .how much OC was he taking and for how long .Methadone is considered one of the hardest drugs to come off of I am glad he is only taking30mg is this going to be his high point or does he plain on going on more.
