So it’s been awhile since the last time I posted. I’m still doing really well, and my dosage is still in the process of stabilizing but as of now I’m taking 105mg a day. I was scared at first about my dosage going too high but I have started to try and not think about how my dosage compares to others and just try and find what works for me.

I wanted to mention one big difference I’ve noticed since I started methadone vs. when I was still taking buprenorphine. I really feel like my mood is not as flat as it was on buprenorphine. There just seemed to be quite a few times when taking buprenorphine that I felt emotionless. Overall I think it was generally beneficial considering my problems with depression so overall I felt more stable. Now though I think I feel closer to what I felt like before opiates. My mood just seems more fluid now if that makes sense to anyone. I’d be interested to hear others experience after switching to methadone from buprenorphine.

Gotta make this relatively quick because I’ve got some things to do this evening but I’ll try and post more later.

Yes Matt I had the adsact same thing happen to me. My last 3 years on suboxone I was completely emotionless the day I started methadone and the majority of bup was out my system I felt like a human again. I actually felt all my emotions from good and bad. And you’ll here people say that just tempory well I can say I’ve been on methadone for almost two years and not thing has changed.
