There is no "normal dose" for a "female on methadone for two years" It depends on the person, and the amount drugs they used prior to taking methadone. I am currently a patient at a methadone clinic, and when I first started I would ask myself "am I taking a normal amount, but my counselor told me not to worry about the # of mg's I am on, but to focus on my recovery. Only you can truly know if the dose you are on is working for you. I can tell you before I started methadone, I was taking Tramadol (which is not very common for methadone patients) sometimes I would take 20 pills a day. sometimes I would take percocet, vicodin, whatever. I've been a patient for 6 months and I am on 80 mg's of methadone per day. Good luck with your recovery!

What is the longest possible time on methadone?

There doesn't seem to be a limit on the time a person can be on methadone, if they are healthy. Having run 2 methadone clinics, the longest times I have personally seen people on methadone are one woman for 30 years (and still on it), one man for 25 years (with a brief break trying to use suboxone to get off of everything for about a month, but then he got back on methadone and is still on it, for a total of 35 years) and another woman for about 27 years. The doses these persons weere/are on range from 80 mg/day to 250 mg/day. As long as you eat right and maintain your health, methadone does not seem to have a "limit."

Does methadone cause pinpoint pupils?

Yes, it can, I have been on methadone for two + years and have been clean and sober off all other substances during the entire time I have been on methadone.

I have two + years of clean urinalysis to back these claims up so this is a fact. METHADONE PINPOINTS PUPILS.....
