i know what you mean by not wanting to do anything. im on 200 mg a day and i have had weight gain off around 40 lbs. but now ive lost that, I take methadone for 2 reasons, one is because i have a nerve disease and its very painful, the other is because i was prescribed oxycontin 80mg 4 times a day and got really addicted to it, started snorting it then started shooting it IV so i switched to methadone and it saved my life and killed my pain. but back to the issue, i feel fatiuged alot also, i guess its just the methadone, and a good tip for everybody, take really good care of your teeth, methadone takes all the calcium from your body, plus makes you crave junk food, but vitadone works for that supposidly. i hope i help in way,
I understand completely:
Seems like we all have the weight gain, the sweating, hot flashes, sweet tooth, aching, fatigue, memory problems and isolation issues.
Oh and did I mention my teeth are falling to pieces.
It's a bloody nightmare.
This is a horrible drug and has the worst and longest miserable withdrawal of them all.
Happy days are here again!

try comming down 5mgs a week.That should work better than comming down any faster.If you come off to fast you will be sick all the time.Some people even come down 5mg ever two weeks.One of these ways should work for you.Also ther is reallt nothing to do about the sweating.I sweat all the time and i'm a woman to.all the women at the clinic i go to talk about how they sweat all the time.I heard that you could ask your pharmaciest and that they have something you can buy over the counter for night sweats,mabey it will help during the day to.Its worth a try.
