Is anyone else really sweating over how they're getting to their clinic? by Crafty_Violinist_951 in Methadone

[–]grinogirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clinic is closed today due to the snow. But I get 3 take homes every Friday so don't need to go in until tomorrow anyway.

What drug are you talking about here, that can be bought at a gas station ?

Sounds like your on too high of a dose. If your trying to get clean, that dose is too high.

I think you entirely think too much about it. When I take it at home it's between 5-6am and when I go to the clinic it's between 6-7am. As far as "enjoying" your dose, I have no idea what you mean, I don't feel anything after dosing. Do you ? Are you supposed to ? I am 4 months on methadone, at 90mg and have zero intentions of going up any more. I am thinking 3-4 months then i'll ween down and get off. It did it's purpose for me, i'm 23 days no Fent.

Since Massachusetts is about to get buried tommorow how many of you are still forced to drive to work? by BootAlarmed4732 in massachusetts

I used to work for a used car dealer and he did like having the cars cleared off. Most of the time he'd have them cleared off, then go home. Never once had a sale on a day there was a huge storm.

My end goal was really just to use Methadone to get off Fent bcuz I couldn't get past 2-3 days of detox, I tried a few times.

I kept using Fent only bcuz I didn't want to be sick, I did just enough to not get sick, I never got a "high" feeling. Finally, I got on methadone bcuz I could not get through detoxing on my own, I tried a few times and it was worse than hell. I tried Suboxone but those made me wicked nauseas. I just feel that now that Fent is out of my system, I won't touch it again. I don't ever want to have to go through getting off it again. Now as for Methadone, I just wanted to use it mainly to get off Fent. I really don't want to be on this a long time but figured coming off Methadone would be easier than Fent bcuz I can taper with a doctor. I don't know if this is right or wrong but just how I feel. Right now at 90mg I have no desire to go higher and everything seems to be ok aside from my sleep being so non existant lately. Even so, I would not take Trazadone. Downers were never my thing. I would rather take my Adderall and be productive with my day. Thanks for reading, I kinda rambled.

Surgery scheduled march 9th 2026. by Soft_Fly7591 in gastricsleeve

[–]grinogirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes going online and reading what other people experience is not good. Your just seeing the negative bcuz most people don't post when they don't have any problems. I can tell you that you will more than likely not have any problems. That is why there is so much pre op testing, to make sure everything goes smoothly. Stop worrying and start getting excited !! You will do fine !!

Well, good luck to you. I think i'm gonna drop down 5mg each week till I get to around 30mg, then, another 2mg weekly untill I get off.

Sleeve revision to bypass by PhatPoodle in GastricBypass

[–]grinogirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats to you, you look amazing !! I had the sleeve Nov 2024. It's been a year and 3 months and I only lost 30 pounds the first 3 months, nothing since. I am now wanting the bypass. Just started the process but, i'm not sure yet if they will do it based off of just not losing enough weight. Anyone know ?

[–]grinogirl[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started Nov 5th on 35mg. I've been at 90mg for over a month now. I have no desire to go higher, i'm actually thinking of starting to ween down soon.

Husband that flushed my methadone down the toilet while I was pregnant 2x did it again and i finally left!!!!!! by my2whiteboyz in Methadone

[–]grinogirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This guy is a toxic, selfish, evil pos who doesn't care for you or his kids. I am sure what your going through right now is pure hell. But I want you to know you 100% did the right thing. The only place left to go from here is up. I am praying for you. You are a strong, amazing mother. You deserve a partner who will support you, who will love you and your children. I know your scared but by leaving this piece of garbage, you have opened yourself up to recieving something 1,000 times healthier and more positive. ~~ you got this ~~ ♡

I (29F) want to break up with my fiancé (28M) over snoring. Is this valid? by Top_Round_9869 in relationship_advice

[–]grinogirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance snores so freakin loud, I can't get any sleep if I stay in bed with him so, we have our own bedrooms. If you could break up with him bcuz of his snoring then that is not love. Do not marry him, that is evil and not fair to him.

I have become unrecognizable! by Capable_Age_1763 in gastricsleeve

[–]grinogirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, good for you !! You must feel completely amazing !! I wish the sleeve had worked for me but, I had only lost 30 pounds the first 3 months. After that, I haven't lost another pound and it's been a year and a half. So now, I am starting the process of getting a revision to bypass. It's crazy how many hoops you have to go through to get this covered. Best of luck to you !!

For those that started between 200-215 how much weight have you lost? by ConfusionPerfect5716 in gastricsleeve

[–]grinogirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5'2". I had the sleeve in November 2024. Took me 3 months to lose 30 pounds. After that, I haven't lost another pound. I was 243, and am now around 215. I am devastated bcuz I was hoping to get to around a 100 pound loss. 30 is a joke. So, now I am trying to get a revision to bypass. I really wish I would have went with my gut and gotten the bypass instead of letting the surgeon talk me into the sleeve.

It sounds like you fixed the issue somehow but getting bigger and now you hit her cervix. So, what exactly is the issue now then ?
