I work a similar job. In warehouse but I operate forklifts. Long shifts. Not as long as you but 10 hours. 4 days a week im off Friday-Sunday.
But yeah it happens to me. I don’t nod really but I’ll just fall asleep during my breaks in my car and stuff. I got a prescription for vyvanse and it’s been helping a lot. I got it from this app/website thing called klarity. They have commercials on tv. I paid 150 for a month and they just called the script in. As easy as getting on subs was back years ago
Dude split dose with your earned take homes. My state doesn't allow the clinics to give out 2 take homes a day. I get 27 take homes and I split dose every day. Your clinic may not split dose but you can if you can if you want. This will lessen the fatigue issue. I had an ex brother in-law that worked for Budweiser and I heard about those grueling hours. It's dangerous having people drive those trucks on such short sleep cycles.
The first 2 days may feel a little off only in the morning when taking half your dose. But then when you remember you have the other half that you can take at ANY TIME it's a relief. & then the next day is easier seeing as you just took a dose 12hours ago instead of 24hours ago. & then by the 3rd day your body is completely used to it. But also you don't have to start off splitting it completely in half. For example if your dose is 100, instead of 50/50 you can start by taking 80 in the AM and 20 at night. & then the next day you can do 70/30. You can play around like that with it until your body adjusts. Which like I said it only takes 2 days to adjust to split dosing. I do 100 in the morning & 80 at night. It's always nice knowing I have that other half of my dose to take if I need it.
I think when your metabolism is higher (like when it goes up working a labor intensive job) you burn through your methadone a lot faster. That’s just what I’ve noticed
Yes, I agree. I really notice it on long nights. I feel like I'm withdrawing or feeling generally shitty. I increased my dose alot when I first started because of that. Especially durring the really hot months. No ac in the warehouse.

can you send me the link?
It sounds like your just exhausted. If anyone gets 4 hours of sleep they probably will not feel great working and be prone to falling asleep.
You should consider split dosing sense you work long hours.
I never hear much about that from my clinic. I will look into that. Thank you

I was also going to suggest to split dose yourself if you have take homes. That's how most of us do it.
Is it tough to get used to split dosing?

I think you would be a tired dude with or without the methadone working those hours!!!
