holly i am really glad you started this forum so people can talk about issues directly relating to methadone use, i wanted to contribute to this forum today while i was here
just some hints so people can learn from my mistakes, my clinic started me on 35mgs and then i just kept going up and up and up until i was on a daily dose of 240mgs, i would also buy peoples take homes
the best advice i can give is to stay on a very low dose, by the end of it all my body was so weak i needed help getting into the shower, i looked like death , people on a lower dose have a better chance of staying healthy

Holliee I found this on Lisa034's profile and I think you're awesome for starting this.  I hope more people start in on it.  Sometimes I will refer people to my profile to look at my last posts to certain places so they can get info.  I'll make sure to recommend this.
