Methadone/ tired?

Im on methadone for my drug addiction. Lately I been getting tired. Does this mean that I need an increase in my dosage?

It might mean that you need a decrease in your dosage. Narcotics can cause drowsiness and do in most cases. If you're becoming tired, you may be on too high a dosage and need a decrease in order to regain your energy. Also, if you are using methadone for a drug addiction, an increase in dosage would really be a step backwards as opposed to a step forwards.

You do nothing your doctor does not say.

Are you in methadone maintenance program,or detox ,
either way you have to decrease it as much as you can,if you are on detox program after day 15, you might have some discomfort, after 3 days it goes away its little tough to get rid of methadone from your system too, try your best to hang on ,
if you feel fatigue it is OK it will go away ,but if your tiredness did not go away after a month, check your liver function,by simple blood test, at the same time they will test you for hepatitis too..also sugar and insulin in your system will be adjusted to normal .
you might feel it..
stay strong ,you will be OK.
good luck
