on a low dosage the opiates will not be blocked by methadone. 30 mg will not block it
Methadone can produce a high feeling if it is taken in excess and it can also be used to help someone to get off of other opiates.
no, the two will potentiate each other seeing as how they're both opioid agonists
You could take them together but its quite a waste eventually. Methadone works as a blocker of opiates . Heroin addicts get prescribed it to take away their withdrawal but also so they cant get high from herion anymore. You would have to be on it for a little while before that starts working but it eventually does. I used to take up to 30 vicodin and or norcos a day, and when i tried to get off it i was prescribed methadone. ++Addition++ First of all, methadone DOES NOT block the effects of opiates. It does not contain any of the opiate blocking chemicals like suboxone or narcon does. However, taking ANY opiate in addition to Methadone can be very dangerous. Methadone is stronger per mg than many of the standard opiates that people take, such as Norco or Lortab. So taking one of these with Methadone can very easily send you into overdose mode. This is not to say that they cannot be taken together, but you just have to be very, very careful. My suggestion would be to ALWAYS speak with your doctor or other licensed health care professional for advice on what to take with your methadone.
From personal experience, no it will not mask any opiates you've taken. yesterday i took a full blown dt, ranging from pcp to mj to opiates. even tho the only things i do are mj nd opiates, i passed everything but opiates itself. so no i do not think it works to hide any opiates. sorry
Please don't take it before you know what your doing. Methadone SHOULD NOT be taken recreationally. It is dangerous and addicting. I'm addicted myself and have done reports, taken classes, have other junky friends. I've seen it all with Methadone. Any other drug ask someone else, but I know my methadone. I go to a Methadone clinic.
Try using Cannabis instead of the other 2.
Any hospital or doctor that orders a drug screen rather blood or urine will test for 5-7 different types of substance. Methadone is considered an opiate drug as well as oxicodone hydroconone and so on. Opiate drugs is one of the 5-7 drugs tested for. If methadone is taken you will test positive opiates.
Methadone should only be taken orally as prescribed by a physician.
Yes, it does. Methadone is an opiate blocker, used for people who are trying to recover from excessive opiate/heroin use. In fact, in some cases, Methadone is prescribed strictly for pain in general.
Opiates usually leave your system in 3 days. Are you taking them orally? If taken in any other form they usually leave a little faster. Hope this helps.
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.
Ask your prescribing physician.
