Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with their counselor
Post Body

So I started a new clinic after leaving a clinic that spent a year refusing to dose me over 50 mg, then tapered me down to 30 mg before switching me to Suboxone without warning. The new clinic I am at is amazing and got me to a stable dose of 160 pretty quick and I haven't used since 4 days after I started dosing there. However the past two UAs I have failed for methamphetamine and I use about 5 to 6 days a week throughout the day. My counselor asked if I could cut back to 3 days a week then each week use less a day and stop a day a week. I didn't even try, I've used meth since I was 18 and I'm 37 and it's really hard to stop using although I can say that I noticed myself using less than I did in the past but can't put myself on a taper schedule. When I told my counselor this she increased my dose from 160 to 170 and each week has increased me so that I'm on 190 now, she thinks increasing my dose will help me reach a blocking dose to get me to stop smoking meth and get me work on getting me closer to take home. HUH??? WHAT? IM SO CONFUSED! SINCE WHEN HAS METHADONE GOTTEN ANYONE OF METHAMPHETAMINE?!? I have never heard of this, and I almost want to question her but she has training I assume and knows something that I don't, right? While dosing at 190 does help me get an afternoon snooze, I didn't think it would block methamphetamine cravings. Tell me what I'm missing!
