Methadone

generally no, but it depends on the amount of methadone you take... if you have a low tollerance and you take 4 methadone 10's, then you will nod off and feel very heavy as like heroin... hope this helps...

they are analgesic depressants meaning the help decrease the pain signals making you feel less pain and they also slow your heart rate and your breathing rate which is why they are called depressants. Both of these drugs are part of the opiate/opiod family

Of course it will. But it also depends on how long after you have taken the methadone. If you take the urine screening a week later it may still be in your system and show up on the test, if you take the test 2 weeks later it STILL may show up on the test, if you take the test 3 weeks later it will probably not show up. But be aware that Methadone is a very long-acting opiate and it is stored deep in your muscles and tissue so it can take a while to clear out of your system even though you only took 10mg for 3 days. But it should be out in about a week or 2 depending on your metabolism.

Is Morphine pills time released? Or how long does it take to start working?

My doctor has given me a choice of starting on methadone, ms. contin or fenytnal patches. Which is best?

I've tried the patches whic irritated my skin so I'm asking about the ms. contin or methadone? Are they time released? Do they last all day unstead of like lortab n percocet n have to take them every 4 hours?

Depending on the dosage, methadone can block the effects of opiates for up to 4-days. During this time, the methadone fills up the opiate receptors. When the receptors are filled with methadone, the opiates cannot stimulate the receptors, therefore blocking the effects of the opiates.

Suboxone will not adequately treat Xanax withdrawal, since the two drugs act very differently in your body. Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist while Xanax deals with GABA. Suboxone does not deal with GABA and Xanax does not deal with opioid receptors.

No, methadone will block the euphoric effects of morphine and other opiates.

Look on the package...

Sure there is no evidence the 2 drugs interact with each other.

If you mean fentanyl, then yes you would get high but it is a lethal combination. Fentanyl is 100x stronger than morphine and usually used in cancer patients. I don't suggest mixing the two drugs.

It depends how many Mg of methadone you're on & how long you've been on it. You don't want to take suboxone for about 3 days from the start of the withdrawal symptoms. If you start the suboxone before then, it will make you sick.

Yes, make sure you know your limits. anything in excess in bad. as far as doing it, usually you do cocaine first, than the xanax to knock you out. cocaine users do this somtimes because it is hard to sleep afterwards.

I would have to say Yes you can take these together as my doctor at a pain management clinic just prescribed Lyrica 75mg 1 capsule 3 times day and Methadone 10mg 1tab 4times a day. However I would not recommend taking these without a physicians supervision.

I was the first to go in for surgery (on 90mls of Methadone) & the last to wake up after. I was asleep an extra 4hrs after the last guy to wake who went in as the 4th patient.

I have been taking less that 8mg suboxone daily this morning I took two 7.5 but hydrocodone still have a headache and sick due to sinus infection, can I take 1/4 th strip of suboxone now and not be sick ( withdrawls)

It is perfectly legal to drive on methadone, as it is on any other prescription drug, as long as you are not intoxicated.This means that for someone on a stable dose of methadone, who can pass a sobriety test, it is legal to drive. If the dose is too high or the individual's tolerance too low, or if the individual is prescribed other drugs which enhance the intoxicating effects of the methadone, the person will not be able to pass a sobriety test and will be considered intoxicated.

24 hours after initial consumption of methadone you should be able to get high off heroin. Methadone is an extremely potent drug which should not be mixed with other chemicals especially those containing opiates.

While I was on probation, I was given my initial drug test which I failed because they detected marajuana.

As far as I know, the initial drug test given to you will search for any illegal drugs in your system.

After failing the initial drug test, I had to pass 6 tests in an 18 month period without failing, given at any time.

There may be a slight difference in the time it takes to get into your system. I have heard people say that the liquid worse for your teeth and tongue but it's probably minimal at best. Methadone 10mg pills take an hour and Ten minutes to feel the effect. With the liquid it usually takes around 25 minutes to a half an hour. Also Liquid is injectable where as some forms of the pills will gell up on you making them not injectable. Another problem is that the pills have been known to cause more nausea.

Methadone will make you nod off, if they give you too much (giving the patient a "high"). Methadone will make you feel "normal" again if you have been addicted to opiates from pain killers or heroin. More and more people each day are taking methadone because they are trying to come off of pain medications with opiates. Methadone is also prescribed for pain too; most people don't know that. It makes you feel either "normal" (depending on addiction), or "high" if the person purchased the drug off of the street. They also might have a doctor giving too much, and would need to cut back to avoid being addicted to the methadone. If this happens the patient will try to get the doctor to increase the milligrams, although sometimes it is necessary to increase the milligrams if being treated for an opiate addiction.

no it is not easy to get off it methadone you need hospital treatment. to help you get dehydrated easily

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.

Although my experience is limited, I have found that there is no subjective, or objective withdrawal symptoms with just a 20-30% increase to my previous opiate dose- I can stabilize OF COURSE the decision to save myself from methadone..deserves a reward of a triple- up blast off.... then ya, sick comes quiker ..and without at least the 2-3 doses to make it thru to bedtime I would be off to an uncomfortable start. Lets say I do have the means to afford a 10 day bender... ? It does seem logical- it is fact..we see that heroin/opiate withdrawal is less frightening to anticipate, and a milder "hell to kick" ".. and with the lifestyle changes that a methadone routine provides,it could be the conditioning for a short visit .. 10 days to kick the methadone..without fear or pain ...then the awful 24-36 hours of torture we face till we can begin the REAL HELL of kicking cold turkey ..600,00 seconds till our 1st glorious flash of relief...when its better.. just the worst flu ever... not the vividly slow motion fire and freeze of every last cell ..100 weight sand-paper wet suit..soaked sheets, pillow, toes sweat.. sleepless..a totally un- distractable torture . And.. the knowledge.. a sip of methadone... and its just the 10-15 min till your body absorbs it.. 110% better.

The "shoulda coulda -if i woulda" regrets associated with the methadone "kop-out", had better be a finely tuned battle-plan... or, - its back to the clinic "sweatin like a slave"..

AND REPEAT...

...and repeat...common roller coaster..

It does make sense... but its not likely that the weakness we cultivated with the progression of an already sensible debate.. life sux.. drugs get u hi.. get hi.. u cant ruin what will only die.. ***

simplified.. if you are bionic..a super-sport will.. angels pullin your strings..and guaranteed bliss upon drug-free- dom.. You still need luck to end up on the 8% side of statistics.

what a pickle ... opiate addiction

I just wanted to share something that has been helpful for me as well as many others who are dealing with PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome).

Supplementation with amino acids and vitamins is very helpful in naturally returning your body to its normal state. L-Methionine and L-Glutamine are the building blocks for neurotransmitters, whose receptors are downregulated by opiate use. Serotonin, dopamine, and GABA are among those affected. In addition, adrenal support and vitamins help reduce one's body to normalcy quicker. These are inexpensive, natural remedies that have been proven to be successful.
