methadone treatment
I work with a person who goes to a clinic for methadone treatments daily sometimes, and then other times she is given three treatments to give herself per day. It really dosen't make any sense to me, because sometimes she is on the ball and other times she is nodding off, slurring in her speach, and not present intellectually. Why is this and why if she stopped treatment for 5-6 weeks a couple of months ago would she suddenly have the need to start up again.

Maybe you could try to help your MIL instead of wishing her an early death.

Sorry to hear that..... Unfortunately, I am tired of my mother-in-law keeping us all in emotional chains due to her methadone and Hydromorphone usage---she shoots the d's.....she also likes to smoke "ice" once in a while. 58 years old-on blood pressure meds--drinks a quart of rum a day--how long does this nightmare have to continue. While she's nodding all over the place and dropping burning cigarettes, I can only hope to one day soon either find her better or with her lips cold and blue.
I have to agree with beachtowel my sister would nod and every one would laugh and say things behind her back but nothing to her face ,then one day nodded and her face turned blue and the rest is history
She takes her Methadone and starts to slurr her speach and then starts falling asleep nodding off.......
you think she should lower her dose but she is not blasted........I've taken Methadone a few times myself when people start slurring and can't talk then start nodding like they just shot some heroin..
her dose is way to high..........also when the patient starts to treat the patient......probably has a lot to do with it...
He mentions in his post "other times she is given three treatments to give herself per day".
When ever an addict treats themselves they will make sure they get a big piece of the pie.......
Take an addict and sit them down at the kitchen on one side of the table put two Tylenol three's on the other side put two oxycotin 80mgs and then tell the addict to choose which one they want........
to slurr or not to slurr to the addict it is always to slurr.........

methadone is a strange drug. I have to say I've been on methadone for six years. I'm working on a taper and will soon go inpatient to finish this process. I'm only on 35milligrams now and for maintance that is a low dose. anyway sometimes I'm wide awake and others I'm hardly able to keep my eyes open. I only take what's prescribed and at different times it hits me different. mostly I'm fine but there are thoose days I have to shut my eyes or I feel like I'll fall over.
I'm telling you this not because I'm making excusses for her, but stateing a fact of methadone maintance.
If she's like that most of the time maybe she should get her dose lowered. but it does
not mean is using and "getting blasted"
just another opinion from someone who's on methadone.
