Yes you can. It's much easier with Vicodin than say Morphine, however Vicodin is still an opiate and is therefore very strong and influencing. If one abuses the drug and/or takes it habitually, it will be harder to quit. I'd say it is comparable to marijuana perhaps, though with heavy use physical withdrawals can occur. Good luck.
it will be very hard for you to get of methadone just like that. so if you are planing to get off. ask them to lower your dose. if you get off you will get extremely sick. I have seen my own mother suffer doing that, you know just get of of the methadone.so that is just what you should do.
You really shouldn't just quit Topamax cold turkey. Topamax is a med that has to be tapered off slowly just as you were put on the medecine hopefully. If you were to stop suddenly you could actually cause a siezure which could be very dangerous for you and the baby!
To completely quit and go off something in one move. For example, if you were coming off drugs, you could go 'cold turkey' and just completely stop taking them (rather than slowly decrease the dosage to smaller amounts over a period of time). It relies heavily on willpower.
if your in a methadone clinic i would stop taking all drugs and get your life together
One cocktail or a shot of liquor will intensify effects. Just one.
Anything that does not contain codeine. Just be careful because there is alcohol and DM in cold meds and they can depress the nervous system.. Just use it as it says on the box and you should be ok.
Every antibiotic I have taken while on Methadone have had an effect on my Methadone. Most antibiotics have a small effect usually making the methadone less effective. Cipro specifically has an impact. The clinic where you get your methadone should have the drugs that effect strength your dose should be posted at the dispensing window. The dispensing nurse should be able to answer most simple questions and while most dispensing nurses act like they know everything but in reality in most states the are just LVN and unless they are very conscientious, their knowledge is not very extensive.
Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!
they can't tell. the only way you can measure the levels of methadone currently flowing through your system would be a blood test. they just make sure that you're taking your methadone - not how much.
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.
If you have a tolerance for methadone and just suddenly stop taking it, you will begin to experience withdrawals such as nausea, body aches, hot and cold sweats, and diarrhea. You should slowly taper off of methadone instead of quitting cold turkey.
You should NOT stop taking those medications cold turkey with out severe side effects. Go back on your regular dosage. Call the doctor that perscribed the medication and tell him you would like to stop taking it. At that point you and your Doctor can come up with a weening program that will make the transistion much more comfortable and safe for you. You have a much better chance of relapse if you quit cold turkey. Take care
