Just started treatment, need advice please.
Post Body

After keeping myself distracted for an hour it’s evident that everyone here gets sick now and then so I’m not here to bitch about my withdrawal but I just need some advice.

Took my first dose today at 30mg helped for like 4 hours then didn’t, but didn’t even fully help for the first 4 hours maybe like 30% helped l.

Tomorrow I’m going up to 40mg, I just want to know really how long the all day suffering is gonna last, I feel like I could be sick for a few hours and at this point I’d even take half a day but right now it’s just pure pure madness.

Uk based (continued using while getting to maintenance level is not an option )

Comments

I see you’re getting advice, saying it will take at least a couple of weeks to feel stable, so just know that that’s definitely not true. Of course, anecdotally in that comment is experience. It may be true, but in the experience of others stability happens within the first several days, and yet others it can happen at essentially any point.
One thing that I hope makes you feel better is that since methadone is so long-acting, the 30 you got today won’t be totally gone from your system tomorrow when you get to take 40, so it’s not like you’re just gonna feel a tiny bit better than you did today; things will begin compounding right away and tomorrow should hopefully be at least reasonably better than today, and maybe very significantly better!
