I just don’t know what to do about being so damn sleepy every morning. I was on MMT once before about 2 years ago and had a much lower tolerance. I started on 40mg that time and had euphoria almost all day and know what that’s like, this time around I have a much higher tolerance and have had to increase up to over 100mg now just to hold me and feel ok. I function great at work, but on days off like today, I hate it and almost go insane.

What do you do for work?? is it physical??

I work a physically demanding/manual labor job, and although Im not on methadone, (I once was!! 3+yrs)
If i don’t DO SOMETHING,, I’m tired ALLLLLL DAY.

It could be just that simple, especially if you feel "fine" at work, or on days you do work…….
the ideal thing, OBVIOUSLY is to get a FULL NIGHTS SLEEP
lots of people have found good relief with melatonin,,,,
(to sleep at night, and STAY asleep)
it’s natural and non habit-forming………

maybe try excersising a bit, in the morning, maybe an hour after your dose… see what that does,
I know it makes ME feel better/less tired…
the human body is strange machine, that’s for sure!!!

its funny that I used to sleep ALL THE TIME, on pills/heroin, but NOW, I work like DOG, and only sleep 5-6 hours a night, but
that’s a ""Full night’s sleep"" for me,
any MORE sleep than that, and I’m USELESS…..feel like I have a hangover or something!!!

anyways,
I hope I helped, I don’t know that probably isn’t the answer your looking for……..
but I did try Wink Wink Wink

hang in there, you sound really determined, and like you have a great plan in place Wink
