I am having bad headaches - has anyone eles had these in relation to methadone?

Question

I have been on methadone for a while and have had a few of the know side effects such as sweating but I have never had headaches - they started when I last dropped my dose - any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your body is going into a sort of withdrawal from the Methadone. My aunt went through the same thing. When the dose is lowered your body isn't used to it. The same thing will actually happen with coffee addicts too. It's completely normal and should subside in a few weeks when your body adjusts to the lower dose.
