Best Answer

you can drive while on any dose of methadone, as long as it is a stable dose.

and do not have the "nod".

i was on 20mls and just recently up'd to 30mls.

On 20mls i felt great wide awake and lots of energy. Today on 30mls, i am nodding off and have a bad headache. so today i would not drive my car.

hope that helps.

If the methadone is taken responsibly and as prescribed, then you should be safe to drive. If methadone is being abused and taken irresponsibly, it can make you drowsy and unsafe to drive.

Could taking extascy cause you to test poitive for methadone?

I do not think it is possible to test positive for methadone after taking ecstasy. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and ecstasy is a stimulant and hallucinogen. Even when testing for regular opiates methadone will not show up since its synthetic, methadone will show up on a urine as methadone only if they are testing specifically for methadone. There is no way ecstasy will show up as methadone on a urine test, ecstasy does not contain methadone.

Why does it look like ink is in your liquid methadone?

I don't know what methadone your taking but Methadone usually comes in clear or a pinkish, purple color. At some clinics, they mix juice in with the clear methadone. If you are taking a colored methadone, it is likely either juice from the clinic, or a sugar mixture for flavoring because methadone is very bad tasting. Methadone will taste bad even with strong juice mixed in.
