When I started on Methadone I gained about 15 pounds. Since the day after I stopped taking it I have had these really bad hunger pains, like all day. Before I could go each day and maybe have a bowl of cereal, now I am actually eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also get them between meals so I drink 2 bottles of water each time. It does help to fill you up, it's good for you and it helps cleanse your body faster!!
Oh yeah, the only part of my body that has lost any weight yet is my face. I look like a strung out junkie. My hubby said I look better but I really don't see it yet. White, pale face, dark circles under eyes, dry lips and my cheekbones are starting to cave in, why couldn't my stomach cave in? Damn female genes!!
