Methadone and weight loss
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2022 10:08 pm
I have been taking opioids and now methadone for over 6 years…switched to methadone about 8 months ago…works fine so did the OxyContin Er…I switched to methadone because of the longer half life which leads to fewer side effects. I have noticed that over the past 4 years I keep losing weight and my appetite is suppressed with the exception of sugary items. Anyone else have an appetite suppression issue and if so what if anything can be done to reverse it. Gone from 184 to 145 pounds…with no end in sight. Endocrinologist told be that methadone and opioids can supress your appetite and I read that methadone can increase your appetite for sugary items. Thanks in advance….
