yes
Yes
Depends on how much methadone you take. If it's alot your kinda screw or take lithium, if it's not klonopin and lithium are wonderful for bipolar.
yes but if you fart you might blow up
Don't take methadone in combination with Valium as this will increase the effects of methadone and can lead to an overdose.
Usually an increase in heart rate that has to do with methadone is caused by withdrawal off of methadone. But don't forget everyone is different and methadone is a drug that affects many people differently.
Yes. Sometimes methadone takes up to 2 hours to start feeling the effects.
I received methadone several years ago for burn injuries, I can't recall ever feeling sick to my stomach.
caffeine will increase metabolism. so yes it can drop the half life the methadone although more then likely, it will not be a significant amount.
With regard to pharmacokinetics, methadone is primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme and to a lesser degree by CYP2B6. Medications that induce or inhibit this enzyme(which Lidocaine is one) can increase or decrease the serum concentrations of methadone.
yes
When lithium reacts with oxygen, the mass of the lithium is unchanged. However, the mass of lithium oxide (Li2O) created is about 2.1 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (110% increase), due to the addition of oxygen. If the lithium reacts with nitrogen, the mass of lithium is similarly unchanged. The reaction produces lithium nitride (Li3N), with a mass about 1.7 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (67% increase), due to the addition of nitrogen.
