Yes, you can. But it is absolutley pointless because methadone is an opiod blocker. It clogs your opiod receptors and blacks other opiates from having any effects. I would not recommend taking any other opiates with methadone, but there isn't really any problem with them mixing as long as you are taking them both as prescribed.
Methadone is an OPIATE BLOCKER, therefore if you do take them together you will be defeating the purpose of the VICODIN because as I'm sure you know VICODIN is an OPIATE and you will have no effects from the VICODIN. Therefore, what I'm trying to say is you are actually wasting the VICODIN and adding more DISTRESS to your LIVER AND KIDNEYS. So take one or the other, not both.

You can mix vicodin and methadone, but if you are lookin to get a high off of the vicodin you won't....methadone blocks out the receptors that make you have that "high" feeling when you take pain killers. most people end up ODing when trying to take pain killers with methadone because they wonder why they aren't getting high and keep taking more and more pain killers not realizing that they wont get that high feeling.

Are Oxycontin withdrawels worst than herion withdrawels. Can you get off Oxycontin by snorting herion for a week then try to get off the herion ultimately beating both?

Oxycontin and Heroin withdrawals are very similar..........Opiates are opiates...Your question works in theory, but not in real life....The only way that is possible to beat the Oxycontin the way you describe is to use Methadone for 3 to 4 days after stopping the Oxycontin............No more. Do not become addicted to Methadone, it is ten times worse than Heroin or Oxycontin withdrawals when you quit


How do you tell a fellow you are on methadone when you are an advocate for the drug?

Your an advocate for methadone use. I don't know of any positive medicinal methadone use so what do you advocate. Why not just say your a drug addict, that is what a user is called. That is what your worried about telling him, isn't it. Why not be your own best advocate and get some help to get off methadone and stay clean so you can have a TRUE friendship with this fellow. ==================================================== It all depends why your using it. Most have good reasons for using it. Like Fibromyalgia, Lupus, chronic pain, or using it to keep the withdrawals at bay from using heroin or morphine. Yes, methadone is addictive no matter what way you use it. If you feel the need to tell him because the relationship is changing into something more, Just be honest and explain to him why you are using it.


Is it safe to just quit taking methadone cold turkey?

Yes you can. It's much easier with Vicodin than say Morphine, however Vicodin is still an opiate and is therefore very strong and influencing. If one abuses the drug and/or takes it habitually, it will be harder to quit. I'd say it is comparable to marijuana perhaps, though with heavy use physical withdrawals can occur. Good luck.

How does Fentanyl and methadone mix?

YOU cannot use tramadol in combination with methadone. It is an opiate antagonist which if you are taking methadone can send you into instant severe withdrawl. I do not have the answer for methadone and fentanyl combination but do not use the tramadol methadone combination. If you do or have you are in for a very very scary experience. There are many pain meds you cannot mix with methadone. Take it from a life long methadone patient who has experienced what it is like to mix an opiate antagonist with methadone........Do not try it............................
