I wouldn't. Methadone is usually prescribed for opiate-addicted patients for treatment in detoxification. Methadone is also prescribed for relief of severe pain, so using painkillers after methadone would probably intensify the effect of both drugs and possibly cause nausea, constipation, and drug addiction.

∙ 14y agoI recently started taking methadone in low doses for severe chronic pain. It is working well for the most part but I think i need to take and additional opiate. I know I wont feel it. it will just help the pain. I dont care about feeling it. Im seeing a rheumatoligist speptember 1 regarding Arthritis in my knees. My question is, is it safe to take both under a doctors care of course. I have suffered with chronic pain for 16 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis in my knees and severe nots in my hips and thights with sciatica.
I am doing better with the methadone. Im getting out more, im seeing a therapist and I am eating right. I even started doing some yoga. I also eat a good diet. I use flax seed, fish oil, acidofolus, and vitamin c. i am finally getting my life back.

∙ 13y agoYes Methadone blocks all other Narcotic painkillers. There is absolutely no point in taking methadone with any other opiate. Only maybe if you were having withdrawls from other opiates then I would only take 30 mgs at most. Methadone stays in your system a lot longer as well, the half life is like 48 hours.

∙ 12y agoYes, I have been prescribed both medications from my dr. Methadone for all day, long term, pain relief and percocet for break through pain. Overdose on Methadone is more common to overdose on than other narcotics. I would not recommend taking both unless it is prescribed and take only has directed.

Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!

Is it ok to mix dramamine with methadone?
I usually take my daily dose of 100mgs of methadone and 30mins later I take about 400mgs of dramamine. This usualy intensifies the opiate "warmth" resulting greater euphoria. The key to this is timming. The methadone takes an hour to kick in for me. And 30 mins for the dramamine to kick in. So this allows the combination of the two to kick in at the same time.
