Is methadone more helpful for joint pain then oxycodone?

It all depends. Everyone is different. I have heard people that have had success with both medications for pain. It is all up to the individual and their own preference. Methadone and Oxycodone are different types of opiate drugs. Methadone is a very long lasting opiate but will not have as intense of a euphoric effect, which helps many people who need to function while on a pain-killer. Oxycodone is a much shorter acting and intense opiate. You will feel a much more euphoric effect and "high" than from methadone, but you will need more of the medication (multiple doses in a day).


Does methadone and heroin show up the same on a drug screen?

generally no, but it depends on the amount of methadone you take... if you have a low tollerance and you take 4 methadone 10's, then you will nod off and feel very heavy as like heroin... hope this helps...


Should you take methadone before percocet?

There is no reason you should need to know this unless you are a drug addict and on methadone already. If you are taking methadone, you should not be prescribed percocets. But if you are looking for ways to get higher yes, they work together, just adds to the effects of each other.


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

The purpose of methadone maintenance is to treat opiate addiction and in some cases pain management. Methadone is not meant to produce an euphoric effect and if a buzz feeling results after taking methadone, that usually means it is too much.


How do you use Oxycontin to withdrawal from methadone?

You Don't. You are simply trading one opiate for another. Also, that would be incredibly pointless. There is a reason Drug programs offer METHADONE to get off of opiates and NOT oxycontin. That reason is simple, 1. Methadone lasts much longer than OxyContin and has much less euphoric effects, which helps people function better. 2, Methadone is MUCH cheaper than OxyContin and much more accessible, like at clinics. It makes absolutely no sense to take something even more powerful than the substance you are trying to withdrawal from (meaning OxyContin is much stronger in its euphoric effect). The best thing to do to withdrawal from methadone would be to taper off slowly like they do it at methadone clinics. But if you are switching drugs for pain management (going from methadone to Oxycontin), you will not really experience withdrawal symptoms. You will just feel slightly uncomfortable at first as your body makes the adjustment.

What happens when taking methadone and weed together?

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.

Can you parachute methadone?

Indeed you can ... You can parachute any powder substance .. methadone doesnt have much of a time release mechanism anyways so regardless if you swallow it whole or parachute it you would almost certainly get the same effect ... but if youre going to chew the methadone just go ahead and parachute because when you chew a pill alot of it gets caught in your teeth parachuting will allow you to get all of the pill down your stomach intact !! ps. NEVER SNORT METHADONE .. YOU WILL BE SORRY : )
