Drug Methadone

Question by Wanda Ann: Is it possible to gain a lot of weight on “methadone”?
My daughter used prescripton drugs that was prescribed by her “so called” doctor for 10 years. She’s been on methadone for over a year. It’s been a whole lot better since she’s been on the methadone.

My concern is she’s gained 70lbs even though she doesn’t eat. Her hands have a rash with blisters on them. It’s very painful.

The prescriptions prescribed for her hands hasn’t worked. The doctor keeps telling her it’s eczema but her hands are getting worse. Her little finger is infected now. Her hands won’t heal even with all the med’s.

She doesn’t look well. I know something is wrong. I feel it could be internally and escaping on the outside by breaking out with rashes and blisters.

Could it be possible that the methadone isn’t agreeing with her? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Thanks I don’t know what to do I’m afraid of her relapsing if she doesn’t have the methadone.
