Hi, I know nothing about methadone and think if you will do better on it and want to try it then go ahead. I just want to address somethings in your post that do not make sense to me. The first is because of the ceiling effect of sub being around 4mg, raising your dose back to the level that stops your cravings will not make it harder to stop. Second, you say you want to switch because you will be forced to take your med infront of someone so you will not skip days to use. Then you go onto ask if you can get your phsyc. to prescribe methadone and you will have your mom hold them and give you one dose a day so you will be forced to take it correctly. Why not do that with your sub? Methadone to my understanding, does not block other opiates the way sub does., so even if you took it everyday you would still be able to get high. I mean no offense by this but because of the inconsistency in your post i wonder if thats what you want? You also say you don’t mind a slight buzz. I fear your motivations are wrong and switching to methadone will only make it easier to continue down the path you are on.
