[dopehead]

i am a recovering heroin addict using methadone as my my recovery method and i have diabetes 2 and take insulin daily as well, i take 100mg methadone liquid and 20 units of Humulin N type insulin once nitely. during the day i seem ok and around 5 or 6 pm i start to go thru withdrawls really bad to wher i want drugs so far i forced myself to go to bed and havent used again i been clean since the day after thanksgiving this year a few months. does the diabetes or insulin effect my meth and thats why i get sick from it not breaking down properly? a friend says liquid meth has sugar and thats why i cant stay well they say i need a much hiigher dose they are diabetic and require 300mg daily split dose, is that what i need to stay well? please help me stay sober but stop hurting at same time.

This is a question for a good doctor. I'm surprized you haven't been given info. by the diabetes doc or the methadone doc. Some people I've know need to take meth. twice a day. Most people do fine on once a day dosing because of the long halflife but some can't make it 24 hours no matter what the dose. all the best
