It's only legal if it's prescribed.
It is perfectly legal to drive on methadone, as it is on any other prescription drug, as long as you are not intoxicated.This means that for someone on a stable dose of methadone, who can pass a sobriety test, it is legal to drive. If the dose is too high or the individual's tolerance too low, or if the individual is prescribed other drugs which enhance the intoxicating effects of the methadone, the person will not be able to pass a sobriety test and will be considered intoxicated.
I am Prescribed 200mg a day but there is a patient at my pain clinic that gets 370mg a day!!!! thats over a 1000 methadone 10's a month! I ask the pharmacist what the max dose was and he said there isnt one!!!!! =) so there is NO MAX legal dose!
Yes, as long as the dose is being prescribed by a licensed physician, it is not considered illegal use.
I believe a regular doctor can prescribe methadone for pain only,not for recovering addicts,for that its a methadone clinic,or some rehab programs.
you can drive while on any dose of methadone, as long as it is a stable dose. and do not have the "nod". i was on 20mls and just recently up'd to 30mls. On 20mls i felt great wide awake and lots of energy. Today on 30mls, i am nodding off and have a bad headache. so today i would not drive my car. hope that helps.
These meds should not be taken together unless prescribed by a physician. And yes, they will interact.
Yes but its not recommended. In very small doses you can still have a high . If either of them are large doses or lets say you are on a high dose or a small dose of methadone then you take a large dose or a small dose of gravol you will get an unpleasant high . It can be lethal if you take a large dose of both Gravol and Methadone . Its not a pleasant high at all and not a good mix Just take all medications as prescribed and be careful
Methadone should only be taken orally as prescribed by a physician.
Methadone, if taken as prescribed by your physician, should keep you well throughout the day until it is time to take it again the following day.
No. Methadone does not cause euphoria itself when used as prescribed.
