An Opiate addiction. Symptoms of a drug detox are flu-like yet can be much worse. Hallucinations, cold and hot flashes, severe diarrhea, cramps can all be associated with the withdraw. If you are experiencing these symptoms it is best if you call or go to a hospital immediately.

Can you take Fentanyl after taking methadone?

Yes you can. But it would be a waste for the most part. Methadone has blocking properties and will clog up your opiate receptors. Taking any opiate after Methadone is mostly useless. You will not feel any pleasurable effects from the other opiates. I have heard that taking other opiates with Methadone will help with pain, but that the euphoria of the opiate will not happen.

Is taking 100 mg of methadone for your first time lethal What affects would you feel before the actual death Would you be unconciouse for it Where can you get methadone in UK without pescription?

100 Mg. of Methadone would not be considered a lethal dose. However your question does not have enough information for anyone to give a responsible answer. It would depend the reason you are taking the methadone? If you are a heroin addict or addicted to another type of opiate. If you have developed a tolerance to opiates, then you would probably be able to make the transition to methadone at that dose with no debilitating affects. It is entirely contingent on what your efficacy is? If you are looking to enhance your life and get away from the sedentary life style that accompanies addiction of most opiates, you are not going to get the desired results on 100 mg. of methadone. You will be lethargic and not really motivated to do what it takes to have any real life. Remember Methadone is not something you use to get high, it is a stepping stone to get your zeal for life back. It you have no tolerance and start of there you still probably won't die but again there are many variables that a responsible person can logically answer. I am not even going to indulge the rest of your question with answers,

Can a pregnant woman safely take methadone?

This isn't an easy question to answer. I do know that there are pregnant women who attend the local methadone clinic, however, it can and does cause addiction in the newborn. It all depends if the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to discuss this with a doctor. I agree that there are pregnant women who attend a methadone clinic and are able to have a healthy baby. I myself know several of them. However, their baby stays in the hospital while they wean it off of the methadone (again, this applies to the women I know that were pregnant on the clinic... not all women who have a baby while on methadone will have to leave their baby at the hospital for weeks at a time for the baby to be withdrawn safely under medical supervision). So, therefore, I would advise anyone who is pregnant to speak to their personal doctor about the risks and benefits of taking methadone while pregnant. I do, however, think that it is better for a pregnant woman to be on methadone instead of a cocktail of drugs that could really endanger (or worse) the unborn child.

Is methadone safe to use to stop addiction of oxycodone?

DO NOT TAKE THE TWO TOGETHER BEFORE YOU TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! Methadone is a very strong pain reliever and could be fatal if taken with out a doctors supervision. I currently take 150mg of oxycodone, 160mg of Oxycontin and 30mg of methadone. so yes you can take both. but something to remember you need to take them at the same time or so I have been told, If you do not I have been told one will block the other. Also the methadone attaches it self to a different pain receptor then the Oxycontin or oxycodone so it amplifies the effects ten fold! It in no way blocks anything If taking correctly methadone is used all the time for chronic pain patients like me. it lasts longer then the other medications and offers a different type of pain relief. So when your taking methadone and oxycodone together you're attaching to both sides of the pain receptor. Which gives me almost 100% pain relief.

Is buprenorphine the same as morphine?

It all depends on what exactly your allergic to. If you are allergic to all opiates, than NO, you cannot take methadone, but if you are allergic to a certain chemical in morphine than you can take methadone because it is a different type of opiate and it is synthetic. But I would consult your physician before taking another opiate like methadone if you are allergic to morphine. But for example, my friend was allergic to "Percocet" because of the acetaminophen that is mixed in with the pill, but he was able to take oxycontin, which is the same drug as is used in percocet, because the acetaminophen was absent.
