It depends how many Mg of methadone you're on & how long you've been on it. You don't want to take suboxone for about 3 days from the start of the withdrawal symptoms. If you start the suboxone before then, it will make you sick.

Tramadole and methadone mixed side affects?

There are no real side effects from taking the two together. But I can assure you that if you or on methadone , taking tramadole is no different than taking regular tylenol. Methadone is just SO MUCH stronger than tramadole, so just take tylenol. Well there will be side effects soon!! You see tramadole taken with the met will start to eat up your met!! It is a met antagonist. You will start to feel like you are having withdrawals from taking the both of them together!! So you can check with your pharmacist to confirm what I'm saying. So for now stop taking them together and get back to the doctor, he should"ve known better than to mix those two drugs !!

If you are on heroin for three months how much methadone do you need to not go through withdrawal?

Methadone will not cure your heroin addiction. It will only keep you from going through withdrawal if you continue taking it. Once you stop taking the methadone, you will start going into withdrawal. Methadone, as well as Suboxone, are opiate antagonists. They feed your physical dependence on opiates, and they block an opiate high, so even if you relapse and start using heroin again, you won't get high on it. Heroin, Suboxone, methadone, opium, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, codeine, etc...these are all opiate drugs (made from the opium poppy). Methadone (as well as Suboxone) is just an opiate that won't get you high. It helps you quit getting high, but it does not cure or get rid of your physical dependence on opiates. When you are ready to stop taking Suboxone, you wean yourself off of it very slowly, usually over a period of several months. I would assume the same is true of methadone, but I have never taken methadone, so I don't know too much about it.


How soon can you take pain medication -opiates after taking methadone four days in a row?

Since Methadone has such a long halflife and is absorbed by fatty tissues inside the body, it could take a few days to a week to safely take an opiate and feel its effects. But since you've only been taking Methadone for four days, try waiting until you start to feel the onset of withdrawal. It could also depend on how many mgs a day you were taking. The higher the mg, the longer it will take for Methadone to clear out of your system.
