First dose Nausea
Hey everyone! Hoping to find some much needed advice on how to keep my methadone down. That’s the short version but if you want the full story I’ll post it below.
I went to the clinic for the first time yesterday. They dosed me starting at 40mg (which they do for everyone I think) going up 10 a day until I reach 70. On the first day you dose you need to sit and wait for half an hour after you swallow and let a nurse watch you incase you have any bad side effects. So I sat, and all was good but a runny nose. I did feel a flush of warmth come over my body that left pretty fast… on the way home my sister (who also dosed for the first time that morning with me) was driving and wanted to stop at Dunkin. She seemed 100% fine and so did I the only thing I noticed was I could still taste it coming up on my breath. So she got whatever she gets and since I was there I got an everything bagel w cream cheese. We got back to her house and she realized her order was wrong and sent me back to fix it, then I came back and ate half my bagel. I started feeling stranger and because I used to use nasally I always get a post nasal drip that makes me spit a few hours after not using. So I started spitting and blowing my nose again (same as I was in the office). My mouth started watering and I could taste it more and more being breathed up as I tried to breath thru my mouth to avoid post nasal drip. I left the other half of the bagel and went and laid down. For half an hour my mouth was watering like it does before you throw up and my stomach increasingly started to turn. I remember thinking fuck I don’t want to throw this shit up. So I laid and breathed thru my mouth but then I just couldn’t I was gagging trying to hold it down. I ran to the bathroom and between throwing up in the toilet would sit on the toilet and It honestly felt like wd symptoms. My bowel muscles all unclenched at once and I was constipated when I woke up that morning to go to the clinic… I was on the floor in the bathroom for like 2-3 hours. Once I finally felt a little better I started googling cause I was worried I lost my dose. It said online that as long as you didn’t throw up within 30min, the methadone has already absorbed into ur body. I threw up like 2 hours after dosing. But it scared the shit out of me to go back today and I didn’t end up going back… I plan to go tomorrow but I need to know how to make sure that doesn’t happen again because I felt like death moaning, nose and mouth dripping, exploding from both ends, dying on bathroom floor. Sorry for the picture that creates lol I just want to be detailed in the post. My sister was 100% fine and went back today… but I just can’t get sick again I was under the impression the clinic would be the least painful way but yesterday was far from that. I know it’s commonish for people to throw up their dose at first, and that’s why they watch you, but I’m just scared now I won’t be able to do this if it happens every time. Anyone have similar experiences or know what will help me as far as over the counter meds?
