I've managed to but down to 65mls from 90mls in about 3 weeks. I'm having to take extra painkiller for my arthritis, but I'm determined to get off this medication that for 1, makes me feel chained to the chemist's opening hours everyday (even though I've been clean for a few months now, I'm still on daily pick-up!), and secondly I want to loose the weight that I've gained since been clean. I wasn't skinny before. I was just a normal size 10/12, and at 5'2" that's okay. Now I'm 11 1/2 stone and a size 14 on top, and a size 16 on my bottom half! Hardly any of my clothes fit me! I've been having to buy new clothes, which is nice, but when you don't feel confident in them because your just not used to being that size. Well, when i'm feeling down, I start craving the drugs that numb your thinking, so I don't have to think about it (or any other upsetting things that have been numbed by the drugs), but I've just got to talk about these things, because the last thing I want to happen is to relapse. I just wish methadone didn't slow your metabolism down, therefore slowing the burning me calories. I'll keep cutting down, and stay on a low cal healthy diet. Plus now I've got supports for my knees and ankles, I can start light exersize. Just need support for my back now! Lol!

what painkillers do you get for your arthritis? Some doctors refuse to provide opioid pain relief for people already on methadone despite the guidelines saying this is not necessary...
