it all depends on the dosage of methadone and how often you take the dose. If you are in a treatment program you should not be using heroin. Talk to your counselor or somebody else you trust about your cravings. if you are not in a methadone maintenance program I suggest you get into one.

How long will 30 mg of methadone block opiates for?
I am on methadone and have been for years. I am also taking college courses, one being Psych Substance Abuse and Addiction. The answer is until the methadone is out of your system. It may take days, weeks, or months. For me, it would take months, but if you took methadone but you're not used to taking it, probably a few days or so. Methadone does block the effects of heroin, which is why a lot of people use the methadone maintenance treatment programs. If I were to try to use heroin tomorrow, it would just be a waste of time and money because I wouldn't even feel it, and I would hella pissed, which is the purpose of it blocking the heroin. The withdrawal from methadone can take weeks or months, and it's more intense than heroin.

What are the effects of morphine and methadone used together?
You should consult you physician. Yes. If you are on methadone as a maintenance pain medication, there are other pain meds you can take for breakthrough pain, or to boost the effects of the methadone. One that is commonly prescribed to take with methadone is meperidine (generic Demerol) and phenergan. The Demerol is a narcotic pain med, and the phenergan potentiates (boosts) the effectivenes of the Demerol, as well as preventing the nausea that some people experience when taking Demerol. There are other pain meds that can be taken with methadone, but your doctor can best advise you on them, depending on your medical condition.
How can you break through your methadone block?
You can't. Methdone clogs your opiod receptors so you have to wait for them to clear up which can take up to 72 hours. I heard white grapefruit juice will make you metabolize methadone more quickly and may make it's effects go through your system more rapidly, but of course I am not a doctor and cannot advise doing this.
Will 2 10mg methadone still be in your system after 72 hours?
No, the clearance time of methadone is about 24 hours.
Will you feel heroin 20 hours after subutex?
You may feel some effects after 20 hrs. However, it usually takes about three days for the blocking effects to wear off.
