Ekg And Methadone Dosage

I've been on 195 for 6 years now. They just brought back annual EKG and peak and through for those over 150. My QTC is 453 which is borderline I know. Curious if anyone has been taken down in their Methadone dose due to an EKG and what their QTC score was?

Whether or not Methadone actually puts someone at risk due to prolonging the QT interval is under debate, due to differing study results.

What have your prescribers advised you to do?

The FDA warns that Methadone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.
