What does methadone do to your body?
Methadone is a synthetic opioid. Its primary use is in drug addiction rehab, for detox and maintenance. It is also used to treat pain, most often chronic pain. Methadone affects the body in ways similar to morphine. It attaches to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal column and peripheral tissues and organs to attenuate pain, and provide relief of anxiety, and also has sedative properties. For some it can cause nausea and/or vomiting, sweating, drowsiness - all the same side effects of morphine. Methadone is reported to have certain effects on the heart, primarily to do with heart rate, arrythmia, or prolonging the QT interval. These effects are more common when too high a dose is prescribed or when moving to a significantly higher dose. For those taking 80mg daily or less, this is rarely a concern. I found the worst effects were excessive sweating and difficulty staying awake while reading or watching tv, doing anything not very stimulating. Finally, it can be very hard to stop methadone. It gets stored in the body's tissues, and the time it takes to detox from methadone can be very prolonged, and for some has been worse than heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are less severe than heroin, but the duration is prolonged. Clinical detox is indicated.
Is Straterra addicting?
Obviously, I can't provide you with a clinical answer. I can only tell you about my own experience. I have a somewhat addictive personality but I have never felt like taking more Strattera than the recommended dose. YMMV of course. I just don't find Strattera fun. If it didn't work the way it does, I certainly wouldn't look for the stuff to entertain myself.
What is better Lortab or oxycontin?
It all depends on tolerance. If you have a tolerance for oxycodone, then lortabs and oxycodone will cost more than methadone. If you have a methdone tolerance, then the methadone will cost more. If you have no tolerance for any of them then the cheapest would be oxycontin-type oxycodone. Prices vary but oxycontin is usually about $20 for 40mgs, methadone is usually $5 for 10mgs, and lortabs are 1 dollar per mg.

Is methadone more helpful for joint pain then oxycodone?
It all depends. Everyone is different. I have heard people that have had success with both medications for pain. It is all up to the individual and their own preference. Methadone and Oxycodone are different types of opiate drugs. Methadone is a very long lasting opiate but will not have as intense of a euphoric effect, which helps many people who need to function while on a pain-killer. Oxycodone is a much shorter acting and intense opiate. You will feel a much more euphoric effect and "high" than from methadone, but you will need more of the medication (multiple doses in a day).
How is opiate withdrawal treated?
Two basic treatment approaches are used for managing opiate withdrawal. The first involves treating the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication
What is the difference between oxycodone and oxycodone er?
Methadone is a synthetic Opioid that is extremely potent and takes a long time to metabolize. It is a different drug that Oxycodone. Methadone is mainly used as a treatment for heroin and other opiate addicts. It can be administered once a day and we keep withdrawal effects from coming on. However, methadone itself is extremely addictive, and the methadone patient will be swapping, lets say, a heroin addiction for a methadone addiction. But methadone can be administered in a controlled and much safer environment.Oxycodone ER is just Oxycodone extended release or something like Oxycontin. The point of this drug is to release oxycodone continuously over a period of time. The difference between the two drugs is just simple that they are two totally different drugs. They do produce some similar effect, but when you break it down, Methadone is totally different than Oxycodone. Their chemical makeup is very different I believe.
Which is stronger 50 mg methadone or 50 mg oxycodone?
Methadone is stronger than oxycodone by up to 5 to 8 times depending on individual differences. Methadone can be used for pain but the typical doses of methadone for narcotic withdrawal are less than would be used for pain. One word of caution, methadone has a longer withdrawal cycle than oxycodone and can last up to two weeks. If the intention is getting off the oxys I would suggest suboxone. Getting off of methadone can be much more difficult than getting off oxys. Having said that, Methadone can work quite well for people with chronic IBS where other anti-diarrheals do not work. Methadone can turn into a life long maintenance, so you should very carefully weigh the alternatives, and if the only alternative is Methadone, then God help you and best of luck. If there are any other alternatives other than methadone, try that first. Methadone should only be the very last resort. Methadone will not provide the long term euphoria that oxys provide. So if the intent is recreational use, you will soon lose the euphoric feeling but still experience withdrawals which by many accounts is far worse than oxys. Methadone is not well suited for recreational use, so if that is the root of the question, do not take it, or you will be sorry. If it is the last resort, it can be a life saver.

Is methadone the same as percoset 10mg?
No. Even though they are both opiates, they are completely different and the mg's are different. Methadone has a much longer half-life than oxy-codone(percocet), so therefore it is much stronger. They both also have different euphoric effects or feelings. Oxy-codone produces a much more intense "high" than methadone, but methadone stays in the system for much longer and is usually used for people who are getting off opiates like Oxycodone.

What is the main drawback in methadone treatment for a heroin addict?
The main drawbacks for an addict, are that methadone withdraws are more severe and prolonged than coming off of 'street heroin'. Most addicts taking methadone are on it for a long time. Methadone is an addictive substance - the longer you are on it the more you need! Which is why the amount of addicts who actually achieve abstinence whilst using methadone is very low. Methadone dose not stop the obsessive behaviour or thoughts associated with addiction. Addicts usually end up with two addictions - to the methadone and to the heroin! In general, and at best, it can be described as a harm reduction measure. It is cheap to produce and controllable by the Authorities. Which is why it has been, and continues to be used.
