I have been on methadone maintenance for over 3 years & my doctor said I was going to gain weight when I started taking it. I was told when I stop taking it, I will lose weight naturally. Is this true?

You do have the answer from your Dr. The Dr has more info then you have provided us so do not worry. But try this while you are taking Methadone, but ask the Dr. I think he will agree with it. Your Weight should be per this site: Follow this link: halls.md/ body-mass-index/ bmi.… Your weight should be per this site give or take 10 pounds. Must drink 1 gallon of water per day. Eat right, include all food groups per this site above. Do not exceed the total calories per day and eat at least 1500 calories per day every day. You must sleep up to 8 to 10 hours a day time permitting and including naps. Go for a walk every day for 1 hour,around your residence, start slowly(5 minute), to warm up then increase the speed a little till you can maintain a good clip then slow down to cool off (5 minute before the end of 1 hour). Do the walking in one direction for about 30 minutes then return home, may take little longer. Or look up total body weight free free hand exercises and do them for 1 hour every day. You find them in the library and on the Internet. They can be done at home does not need gym.
