What non opiate narcotic can be given after surgery to someone who is already on methadone?

Is heroin a barbiturate?
Methadone is a synthetic opioid used as a replacement therapy and or for pain management. Barbiturates are sedatives that are for the most part no longer prescribed. Because barbiturates increases (potentiate) CYP 3A4 liver enzymes (the primary enzyme that metabolizes methadone), the combination of the two can result in rapid metabolism of methadone and put an individual who is on a stable methadone dose into withdrawal.
Does methadone wean you off morphine?

Why don't you get a buzz on methadone maintenance?

Is hydrocodone the same as methadone?
Yes, but it is really pointless because methadone has opiate blocking properties and will block the effects of the hydrocodone. When I was on methadone, I had a root canal and got vicodin (hydrocodone) and they did absolutley nothing because of the methadone. Methadone does help with pain though.
Is methadone and narco an opiate?
They are opiate blockers, which can be abused and addictive as well.
Does methadone have opiate in them?
I suppose how one could come to this conclusion based on common usage (substitution for heroin) This is definitely not the case. Methadone increases your opiate tolerance possibly more than other common opiates, codeine, oxycodone, etc. This is because methadone is an opiate itself and it shows a very high binding affinity to your opiate receptors, meaning that the methadone attaches more strongly to your "brain" and will, in turn, raise the production of QFQ considerably.So no, Methadone will definitely NOT lower your tolerance to opiate meds or any other opiate for that matter since it is an opiate in itself.
