hi CJ, pleased that you contacted me, that’s great that you are starting at a methodone clinic soon. the dose is usually gauged on how much you are using, then your body mass etc. taking into account that what you are taking is a drug that is an opiate. it might take a few weeks or months too get your meth dose correct it takes time as you can have a good result and then sometimes you feel its not doing its job, you need to work with the DR and be truthfull about how you are feeling as they will not have you feeling sick, but in the same they won’t allow someone to be going on the nod all day
I will let you into my secret i have been on methadone for over 22 years now, my dose is 107mls and some days i still feel like shit, then others i live a normal life. Please take this opportunity to get yourself better as you only get one chance with the methadone as the health department are being strict with it. I wish you good luck and please keep in contact with me so you can let me know how you are going. please once you get onto a program stick to it, as you won’t get the opportunity again.
good luck CJ
