Diane,
In reading the acticle thanks to AndrewB, re: psychotropic effect of methadone, it occured to me that sulpiride may be worth a trial for you, especially if used along with a low to moderate dose of stimulant, like Adderall or Ritalin. This is essentially the combination I used in the Philippines that worked so well for me, only I was using amineptine as the stimulant with its truly wonderful mood brightening qualities. Don't get excited, amineptine was discontinued for reasons I cannot fathom. The only side effect of the Dogmatil (sulpiride) was complete cessation of menstrual periods (hey, that's no side effect, that's a blessing!) and slight (5-10 lbs) weight gain, which CAN be kept at bay with exercise. The nice part is you actually feel like moving!
Good luck.
K
