My daughter started on methadone 1 year ago, and it took a long time to get onto it. She spent weeks doing pee tests and counseling before they would even start her on it. then they start you on a very low dose and work up. So for the first few weeks you still have to use, until the dose is such you do not become sick anymore. When the dose is tooooo low or toooo high, they are very sleepy, nodding off in conversations etc.

Did you read the sticky's at the top of the page?? Some of them are very helpful...esp...what addicts do. I'm not sure how it works in the GTA but up here in Kingston, that's the way the methadone clinic apparently works...
