Methadone Tapering Side Effects?
Question by TexanGirl: Methadone tapering side effects?
What are the side effects of 131 mg given to someone at the methadone clinic….. I know someone that is receiving 131 mg each day.. and periodically they will come home and completely zone out.. falling asleep on the toilet,eating,ect…. They speak with slurred speech and cannot walk straight,they act as if they are drunk.. Is this normal? And if so why does it not happen all the time? They appear perfectly normal and function properly.As I mentioned they go every single day….I spoke to them about this and they said it is normal,but I am VERY skeptical because this is the same way they acted the day they were arrested with many Hydrocodone and Dilaudid pills on them…

I’ve seen that in the young adults i know who take it. Some more than others. It’s a sad side effect, compounded by the difficulty getting the client to tell the Dr. about it.
It’s a tough road for people who loves the person and is on the sidelines.
