Yes, Methadone requires its own specific test, therefore it will only show up as methadone.
Can you die from detoxing from methadone?
No, but it will sure feel like it. I quit methadone cold-turkey and I was sick for a month, completely delirious for about three days. If at all possible, detox from something shorter-acting like hydrocodone or heroin. Then you're only looking at four or five days, with two really bad ones.
What is the high like on 10mg methadone?
Well it depends... If you have never taken Methadone before then it is possible you will feel a slight to moderate "high" or "buzz" or you may not even feel any high at all. 10mg of methadone is a very small amount so in my personal opinion I wouldnt really expect to get really high. When I first took methadone I was given 30mg at a clinic and I was VERY high, but it did take almost 1-2 hours to take effect and the high lasted almost 2 days. I had an oxy-80 a day habit and didnt take anything for one whole day, then got my 30mg dose of methadone.
How do you sign up for methadone treatment?
You can get it by going to a METHADONE clinic, doing an intake, seeing a doctor, and producing a urine test. Methadose is RARELY prescribed by regular doctors, and when it is, its for people who have chronic severe pain. Methadone is methadose in liquid form, and you cannot get a prescription for methadone. Federal law prohibits anyone (including doctors/hospitals) other than a licensed drug treatment clinic to prescribe methadone for addiction. Depending on where you are, some clinics have 1 month waiting lists. summary- you can only get methadone and methadose from a clinic, unless you have a broken back and an allergy to codeine.

Yes have had to take them together. Just let your doctor or if you go to a methadone clinic let someone there know, because sometimes pheneragan can show up a benzos on a drug test.

Why does methadone make me sleepy?
I don't really understand the question. Methadone makes you feel normal and basically gives you extra energy depending on your dose. If you take too much methadone, it will make you tired and make you nod off and fall asleep anywhere, but that's only if you take a lot, if you are not prescribed to methadone I wouldn't recommend taking it at all because it is a very dangerous and potent drug for someone that is not on it and it is definitely not a drug to play or experiment with.
Although, if you are addicted to opiates, I would recommend buying methadone instead, while you try to get into a methadone maintenance program. Buy only a bit, say 5-10mg at first, don't take anymore then 5-10mg your first time or you will get sick. Go up 5-10mg every week and you should be fine until you get prescribed to it. Methadone is a lot better then say Oxycontin or morphine because it's a lot cheaper in the end and lasts 24-36 hours, basically the entire day.
Be very careful though, like I said... it's not a drug to play around with. Once you start taking it, it acts on the opiate receptors in the brain, blocking you from getting high off any other opiate, which isn't such a bad thing. Go to your local methadone clinic or doctor and try to get on the program and just self medicate yourself until you start a prescription for it, just be careful and take my advice above, from someone who was on methadone for five or six years.
Should you take methadone before percocet?

Can a physician write a prescription for Methadone?
Only physicians who have been certified to specifically prescribe Suboxone can prescribe the medication for opiate addiction; this certification requires an 8-hour course and registration with the DEA, and requires the doctor to agree to certain terms including a cap on patients and the ability to offer therapy. Buprenorphine virtually eliminates opiate cravings and places opiate addiction in remission, but does not cure the addiction. As opiate dependence is a life-long condition, treatment with Suboxone or other buprenorphine medications must be continued indefinately, unless replaced with a twelve-step program or other recovery plan. Suboxone has been compared to methadone, but the action of buprenorphine at the opiate receptor is significantly different than the action of methadone, resulting in a different effect profile. While the DEA waiver is required to treat addiction using Suboxone, no special waiver or permission is required to use Suboxone or other buprenorphine product for treatment of pain. Buprenorphine has been used for acute pain treatment for a number of years, and currently is being investigated in a number of studies for treatment of chronic pain.
Yes! It will show as an opiate, which that is what herion shows as. To find out exactly what you are testing positive for, the urine has to be sent to a lab, but the basic test for opiates will be positive from taking a vicodin( hydrocodone), Oxycontin, Tylenol 3 & 4, herion, and so on...
Is methadone safe to use to stop addiction of oxycodone?
DO NOT TAKE THE TWO TOGETHER BEFORE YOU TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! Methadone is a very strong pain reliever and could be fatal if taken with out a doctors supervision.
I currently take 150mg of oxycodone, 160mg of Oxycontin and 30mg of methadone. so yes you can take both. but something to remember you need to take them at the same time or so I have been told, If you do not I have been told one will block the other. Also the methadone attaches it self to a different pain receptor then the Oxycontin or oxycodone so it amplifies the effects ten fold! It in no way blocks anything If taking correctly methadone is used all the time for chronic pain patients like me. it lasts longer then the other medications and offers a different type of pain relief. So when your taking methadone and oxycodone together you're attaching to both sides of the pain receptor. Which gives me almost 100% pain relief.
What is the difference hydromorphone and methadaone?
Hydromorphone is the generic name for Dilaudid, it is a derivative of morphine, to be specific, a hydrogenated ketone thereof and, therefore, a semi-synthetic drug.

How strong is 10mg of methadone?
It's really strong. Strong enough to knock me on my a**... I have been addicted to vicodins for a yr and decided to quit a week ago. I had some suboxone and methadone set aside for when I decided to quit. I was taking up to 30, 750 watsons a day. Long story short after a 2 days of no vicodins I took a half of suboxin strip (that's all I had) it worked for about a good solid day and half the next day. I waited until the following day to take the methadone because I was still having some withdrawls. Anyways I took half of 10mg pill around 12 waited about 2 hrs didn't feel anything and took the other half. Thats all I was gonna do because there was a chance I still had the suboxone in my system and it probaly was just blocking out the methadone. (That's how a lot of people O.D.) but anyways its 4 and I feel a lot better. Way more high than I ever felt taking vicodins.. even better than if I took 5 vicodin... I won't be taking the other methadone for atleast a whole day or two. point being its very very very strong. Just be super super careful. That sh** can honestly kill you. It can cause your respitory system to fail and you'll stop breathing. I wouldn't take it unless you really really need it.. not preaching just trying to help.

How do you ease withdrawal from methadone?
If the methadone user who is withdrawing is trying to quit "cold turkey" and not take any more methadone, then your form of "help" would consist of mental support, trying to encourage movement, and nutrition (as methadone detox makes one want to lay motionless, and not eat, due to severe discomfort, and irritation) as well as mentally encourage them to stay clean. Methadone withdrawals, depending on the person can last up to 5 months or so, depending on the lenght of usage, body type, and amount of normal dosages.
