taking milk thistle actually slows the production of the paticular enzyme that breaks down methadone. therefore it takes your body longer to breakdown the methadone while on milk thistle, increasing the amount (dose) of methadone in your body.

Can you snort morphine sulf?

Yes you can. (One good thing to remember though, is that everyone has a different reaction & this information is only gathered from various PEOPLE, not DOCTORS or surefire sites. So take caution and maybe run one or two more searches just to make sure all of this info matches up! First of all, you will want to put this pill under your tongue for about 15-20 seconds to moisten the outer coating. Then spit it out into a cloth or paper towel and rub off the coating. Then you crush it up. Don't do like some people, who crush up the whole thing and try to pick out the coating, it's a waste of time. One of the best ways to crush pills so that you get all of the pill and it doesn't go flying off of the counter or what not is to get a mortar and pestle. You can get these from anywhere from $5 and up, usually the best deal is on amazon. Then you take the casing of a pen, and scrape the sides of the mortar. You can either snort right out of the bowl or turn it over on a counter after you've crushed it and sort it into lines. It hits you better and quicker.You don't get a buzz from just taking them so snorting is the way to go if you want a buzz.

Can urinary retention from long term use of methadone for chronic pain cause major problems?

The problem with this drug is that it becomes difficult to urinate and the frequency increases during the day, but gets worse at night. You often wake every hour to urinate. After a short period of time the lack of REM sleep affects your mental and physical health. I was put on 60 mg for cronic back pain and within a month the symtoms I've mentioned above appeared. Since I'm in my 60's I and my doctor atributed the urinary and resulting sleep problems to prostate and therefore they put me on 2 different prostate meds. This did nothing to releave the problem. I wasn't until I did my own research and found this drug was causing the problem. It took two months to ween off and within a week the urinary problem disappeared and along with it the sleep issue. Within a month I was back to my own self except that I have impaired short term memory problems that still linger.

Can you mix Adderall with morphine sr?

No. To do so would be a lesser equivalent to mixing cocaine and heroin, also known as a "speed-ball." Speed-balls have been responsible for many deaths usually by failure of the heart. One famous example would be the death of Layne Staley original front-man for the band Alice in Chains.

The only way this mixture would be ok would be if the morphine were administered by a doctor with the doctor having full knowledge of the Adderall being in your system.

Can methadone shavings and possibly a quarter of a pill be put in clean urine to have a drug test come back positive for methadone?

There are many different opinions out there about this, but I personally have used shavings from other various narcotics and have had great luck doing so:) They test for the drug usually, not how you have metabolized it in your body, so if the drug you want to show up is put into some urine make sure it has been dissolved all the way and then mix it with the urine. This answer is in reference to a normal urine test.
