My name is upriser7

Hello, not sure if posting in correct place but I'm new and been in MMT for anot three months at 75mg once a day. I feel better and I'm able to function better than I ever remember. At first I was going to taper off, however, I'm doing, and feel so well (like I always thought I should) I have decided to take this medication as some people take Adderal or Prozac.
The only bad experience I've had with my clinic is I was 2 min late one day and they wouldn't let me dose-/despite how much I pleaded.
Aside from that my doctor has apreived every increase (although when I request and increase of 10mg he gives 5mg.
Im just waiting to get more take homes(only get Sun now) so I can plans more stable work schedule, as my job required me ro travel out of town on short notice, so, I haven't been able to do that.
I guess my only question is: is 75mg enough? Each time I increase I feel a lot better for a couple weeks and them level-off but a little betwe each time before the previous increase.
Thanks. Just wanted to introduce myself.

Hey upriser...
Thats good you look at methadone as your medicine, because it is.
Everyones diffrent it took me a few years to get at my right dose, I have a split dose 80/80.
That works for me,, you will know when your at your right dose.

Doesnt it feel great to feel normal again!! well normal??? i dont know about that but you know what I mean..

good luck


PEACE

Wow. 80/80 sounds really good. I appreciate what u said. And it's unfortunately that there's so many negative opinions and connotations associated with MMT, but I think it's improving somewhat. Especially when friends and family see how we'll I'm doing compared to before I started treatment. I've never actually "seen" my doctor for an increase. We just fill our a form--in the past I've asked to go up 10 and he does 5.

So this was my first weekend at taking 3 days takehome, and I think I'll request and increase Monday. My only reservationis that he will take my "takehomes" for a while. Any thoughts on this? My counselor is really cool and she has helped my a lot. She even got me an 8 day exception so I could go to Jamaica with me family.

Anyway, let me know what u think and I'll check back to see if u answered before I go in on Monday.

Respectfully,
U7

Hi Im so sorry I didnt get to respond, anyway I hope you got your increase, and like I said everyone is diffrent, your dose doesnt have anything to do with your take homes, now if you got a positive UA then there gonna take your take homes, your not using so no worries..
They only go up 5 mgs at a time, you will know when your at your right dose..

Have a great day

PEACE
