My Dr has had me on Opana er for quite some time & over the past several months I've mentioned to him that the Opana er doesn't seem to last the full 12 hours that it is supposed to & I end up taking my 2nd daily dose earlier than 12 hrs after my first so when I awake in the morning I am in pain & also feel "hungered" which my Dr suggests is withdrawals since it has been longer than 12 hrs since my last dose.
He added 10 mg of Methadone per day for me to take, and I take it once daily now. It hasn't really decreased pain, which is mostly manageable with my Opana, but it has taken away that "hungover" feeling I was having & now I can wait the full 12 hours between doses so I am not withdrawing in the morning. It has been about 3 months since the change & boy what a difference it has made. I'm finally able to stay at an even-keel with my pain & also my opiate withdrawal feeling. My Dr has had me take blood tests twice since adding methadone & he's OK with what he's seeing.
Hope this helps.

Can you take penicillin if you are on methadone?
Yes, amoxicillin is understood to be safe to use with methadone (dolophine), but ALWAYS consult your physician and your pharmacist before taking any kind of prescription medication(s).===An important side note for methadone managed patients in regard to the concomitant use of a different antibiotic medication, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and methadone:The concomitant use of methadone and ciprofloxacin is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of adverse effects of methadone (equating to methadone overdose).Reason:Inhibition of the enzymes that metabolize methadone (dolophine), i.e., CYP3A4 and/or CYP1A2 -- Ref: Eap et al. 2002; Herrlin et al. 2000.

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............................
Can you take opana er and Dilaudid together?
Here's the deal. Opana (aka: Numorphan/oxymorphone HCL (generic) is a very potent analgesic (narcotic pain killer). Even the strongest forms of hydocodone is not even close to the analgesic effects of Opana. They CAN BE taken together. The pitfall of hydrocodone (Vicodin-Lortab- ect.) is the over abundant use of acetaminophen (APAP) i.e. Tylenol. This can and will cause liver damage! The narcotic will do less harm than the Tylenol. There is a push by the FDA and other groups to cut the APAP dosage to next to nothing. With any luck, hopefully this will happen this year (2011).... The damage to the liver can be lessened by taking Milk Thistle. Two 10mg Opana with 5 7.5 mg Norco are safe for someone used to taking pain drugs. Even that may not create a no-pain environment.
