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.
No, if you are experiencing drowsiness, this could indicate that you are taking too much methadone. Consult your physician about adjusting your medication.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT TAKING METHADONE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION FROM YOUR DOCTOR COULD MEAN DEATH FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME OR MILLIONTH TIME YOU'VE TAKEN IT, AS ONLY A DR WHO HAS BEEN TRAINED AND HAS QUALIFICATIONS TO TREAT PATIENCE WITH METHADONE CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS SAFE FOR YOU ...
Yes it is. Methadone is often sold to people other than the user. So it is 100% necessary to include methadone on the list of drugs they test for to make sure that you are taking it. Giving methadone to somebody else can easily kill them. Your dose is designed for you, what is OK for you could kill somebody else. And if that should happen, you would be charged. You would be responsible for that. I am on methadone and they test us for it. METHADONE IS AUTOMATICALLY TESTED AT METHADONE CLINICS ALONG WITH OPIATES, BENZODIAZEPAM, COCAINE, ECT.
Since Methadone has such a long halflife and is absorbed by fatty tissues inside the body, it could take a few days to a week to safely take an opiate and feel its effects. But since you've only been taking Methadone for four days, try waiting until you start to feel the onset of withdrawal. It could also depend on how many mgs a day you were taking. The higher the mg, the longer it will take for Methadone to clear out of your system.
I have read where people have started stuttering after taking some medications. Anything that causes changes in the brain, like a stroke, could cause stuttering. Check the research papers on the web site for The Stuttering Foundation.
Methadone is the opiate blocker, that's why people are on methadone unless used for pain management
No
Since methadone is an opiate, the effect of taking methadone and opium together is similar to the effect of taking either one separately but in larger quantity. It's a bit like asking what happens if you drink both vodka and gin. There is a risk of overdose, and of course a risk of addiction although anyone doing this is probably addicted already.The above answer is stupid and incorrect. This is not a good idea. If your tolerance to opiates is considerable than you will get really high and sleepy. If not you could Overdose (fall asleep and die.) I have been on methadone for 5 years and one night I drank to much alcohol and fell asleep in my chair, if my daughter had not come home the doctors told me I would be dead. Methadone can really knock you for a loop if you are not careful.
I guess you could but it would not be a pleasant experience. After taking Naltrexone your body will go into immediate full blown withdrawal symptoms. That is why it is recommended that the patient be Opiate free for 7 days before taking Naltrexone.
can you take Viagra and also take methadone
Drug screens generally check for the following classifications of drugs: barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, and THC. Methadone is not an opiate, and so it should not be a problem. However, if for some bizarre reason this company does pay the extra money to screen for the methadone, then remember this: if the person taking the physical is a recovering addict who's receiving methadone from a treatment center, then that person is under a doctor's care. I don't see how or why they could or would hold that against someone.
You could take them together but its quite a waste eventually. Methadone works as a blocker of opiates . Heroin addicts get prescribed it to take away their withdrawal but also so they cant get high from herion anymore. You would have to be on it for a little while before that starts working but it eventually does. I used to take up to 30 vicodin and or norcos a day, and when i tried to get off it i was prescribed methadone. ++Addition++ First of all, methadone DOES NOT block the effects of opiates. It does not contain any of the opiate blocking chemicals like suboxone or narcon does. However, taking ANY opiate in addition to Methadone can be very dangerous. Methadone is stronger per mg than many of the standard opiates that people take, such as Norco or Lortab. So taking one of these with Methadone can very easily send you into overdose mode. This is not to say that they cannot be taken together, but you just have to be very, very careful. My suggestion would be to ALWAYS speak with your doctor or other licensed health care professional for advice on what to take with your methadone.
