I just want to say before this update thank you to the select few members that actually post in this thread and support my methadone maintenance program. It seems like unless you are getting off the Done and switching to suboxone people don’t have much to say or share. But hey the stigma follows methadone everywhere till you actually try it in the proper setting. But I am no better I thought the same things at one point in my life about Done.
Anyways I am at 130mgs right now and I am getting very close to stable dose might even stay at 130 depending on how the weeks goes till I see my counselor and the Dr next Tuesday. I am hoping and praying I could stay at 130 but we will have to see how things go as of right now I am good but I got to fully get use to the dose to know. Overall my life is great the biggest thing now for my recovery is to get back out into the real world and enjoy life and that is something I have not done for 12 years. I have been very active of late without serious pain the only pain I have now is when I do my gym program and the time between I wake up till I dose and that is about a 1 to 3 4 at most, if I am doing strengthen. Other than that I am pain free all day and the excitement level I get from that is what is really keeping me going to the gym. because if I am doing this well now I might just not need a operation anymore to live a normal life. And well once I get to my stable dose is when I could really start getting into my treatment plan with the clinic. Anyways things are going well I am doing 3 groups a week 2 1 on 1 sessions and go to the clinic everyday and talk with the nurse before I dose each day.
