By taking it without being evaluated and prescribed by a doctor. Taking Methadone without a doctors prescription is considered abuse.
If it's prescribed by a doctor, and you bring the prescription it should be OK.
Taking less methadone would help. Talk to the doctor who prescribed you the methadone. He/she will be able to prescribe an anti-emetic such as Phenergan or change the methadone to another medication (if you are using it for pain).
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.
YES! I was on avinza and it did little for my pain. Methadone has me comfortable all day and night. I think it is a lifesaver.
Yah if its prescribed by the doctor and it has your name on the bottle. But it also depends how many mg are you taking.
Yes, but make sure it is prescribed properly by a physician that knows you are taking either drug.
SHOW the person giving the drug test proof that your doctor prescribed it to you. if not, then you wont pass.
You are on methadone for a reason, probably drug abuse related. Only take the amount your doctor has prescribed for you and follow instructions carefully. If you are trying to get "high" off this medicine then you are clearly taking it for the wrong reasons.
If your doctor has prescribed both, yes it is OK to take. Remember that methadone is a narcotic, and is habit forming. It is more dangerous than other medicines. Take it exactly as your doctor ordered. Do not take extra and do not take sooner than prescribed.
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.
Yes, a doctor can choose what patients he would like to accept into the practice.
