Can you have a bad reaction from taking keflex while taking methadone?

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.

How long does a typical daily dose of Methadone maintenance last?

Can you use methadone to treat Vicodin withdrawals?

Yes, you can. But it is absolutley pointless because methadone is an opiod blocker. It clogs your opiod receptors and blacks other opiates from having any effects. I would not recommend taking any other opiates with methadone, but there isn't really any problem with them mixing as long as you are taking them both as prescribed.
Methadone is an OPIATE BLOCKER, therefore if you do take them together you will be defeating the purpose of the VICODIN because as I'm sure you know VICODIN is an OPIATE and you will have no effects from the VICODIN. Therefore, what I'm trying to say is you are actually wasting the VICODIN and adding more DISTRESS to your LIVER AND KIDNEYS. So take one or the other, not both.

You can mix vicodin and methadone, but if you are lookin to get a high off of the vicodin you won't....methadone blocks out the receptors that make you have that "high" feeling when you take pain killers. most people end up ODing when trying to take pain killers with methadone because they wonder why they aren't getting high and keep taking more and more pain killers not realizing that they wont get that high feeling.

What are some effects of using morphine?

The nurse or doctor that is giving you morphine after your surgery has it down to a fine art and they will give you just enough to take the edge off and then start slowly weaning you off of it with no ill effects.My husband just had 4 injections of morphine and he had been weaned off by the next afternoon and didn't even know it. The pain was gone and he had no withdrawal symptoms. They often start you out on Morphine for the worst part of the pain after surgery and then wean you off and put you on another pain medication that will get rid of the pain, but it non addictive. When you get your morphine ask the nurse or doctor to give you Gravol along with it so you don't get an upset stomach.

What color is a methadone pill?

Methadone is made in powder form. It is then desolved to measure out a dosage that is either used for a maintenance drug program, or as an analgesic.

In most western countries it's measured in a 1:1 ratio. So 1 mg will be put into 1 ml. It's either directly desolved in Orange Juice or in Canada where I'm from some Drug stores will ask what flavour you prefer. So it could be mixed with Grape, Sugar-Free liquids, etc.

But most times it's in ORANGE JUICE. I'm on a Methadone Maintenance Program and the Drug Store I deal with buys there Orange Juice from McDonald's and uses that.

I hope this answers your question.

I've been using rx2040. com for awhile now, and so far they have not let me down.

This may depend upon the nature of the underlying offense for which the person was put on probation. However, most standard terms of probation require that the probationer only take drugs with a valid physician prescription. If a physician prescribes methadone - whether for chronic pain relief or for heroin withdrawal - it should be fine. The best course of action would be to obtain the prescription and provide a copy of it to the assigned probation officer. It's also okay to just ask the probation officer outright.
