huge methadone weight gain!!! PLEASE HELP

[LITTLEBUTTERFLY10]

Hi to everyone! I'm postin this message from Italy, I'm Italian, so please forgive my mistakes.
I can't find any help in my country, so I decided to post here, where I found other messages regarding this matter.
I feel so depressed and really, at this point I can't go out from home.
I am taking methadone, today i'm at 30 mg/day, because every week now I'm going down 1 mg, in order to finish this horrible trip.
When I started the therapy I was about 52 kg and now, after 1/5 year, I'm 75!!! I really don't know what to do anymore!when I buy something to go out from home, after 2 weeks the clothes don't fit anymore. I don't know what to wear, what to eat in order to loose weight!
I try one week of hard dieting, but as soon as I see that i don't loose anything, i start binge for 2 days on sweets, and ice creams, so i feel more depressed and frustrated... my life is going this way...trying to loose weight, and bingeing...
Please tell me what I have to do...I tried some diuretics, but they seems to have no effects.
When I finish the therapy, I am going to loose this extra weight?
What kind of diet I have to follow? low carb it is better?

I really don't know what to think anymore..and I'm really scared about the withdrawals,...any suggestion?

Thanks a lot for you reply...I really appreciate.

Ciao, Vanessa
