I am 20 years old and I have been taking 60mg of Methadose liquid through a Opioid Treatment Program since late August of 2012 (gradually increased from 30-60 over the course of 3 months until November, then maintaining at 60mg since.) I have all the common symptoms such as, excessive sweating, weight gain/increased appetite, and fatigue. Symptoms of abnormal, mostly involuntary muscle/body movements have gradually increased, in frequency and severity. However, 3 months prior to starting Methadone treatment I was using heroin intravenously and had the same movement symptoms, but were far less severe. The symptoms come on about 2 hours or so after my dose, right when I can feel the methadone reach its peak. It continues all the way until the night time when I go to bed. Once I awaken in the morning I rarely experience the [annoying and embarrassing] constant movements. I take the methadone 7 days a week, and is starting to become more severe and also interacting with my daily tasks; i.e. Driving (the worst at all times), causing me to swerve and lose focus on the road, when I'm sitting, standing, on the computer as we speak, and about almost all the time throughout the day. Very little do I try to control it, because it continues all day, and if I do try to keep it under control, I have to focus very hard. I am mostly moving my upper body; moving my neck in all directions, my shoulders as well in all directions (which has caused me to pull muscles several times in the past couple months), rotating my wrists in circles, front and back, my back (upper and lower), along with my hips, as well as extending my arms outward, turning them from front to back (forearms), this is all done with strong force/penetration, (constricting) "hard" stretches. When I do try and concentrate on the movements (on my upper body), my legs and thighs feel the strongest need to constrict and move inward and out Recent related drug checks on eHealthMe:
