Sounds like you may be on too high of a dose.  Are you nodding out?  Talk to your methadone Dr. for sure.

Hi   well for me I use to node out at the most inaprperet times I was on 150mg though......I would lower your dose... many of us have come off of methadone and it is a tuff detox  but methadone maintenance  ***** the life out of you ...your best bet is to come off it all together and we can help you with that............Gnarly
