Can you smoke 5 mg methadone pills?

Yes you can. It's a great way to experience this wonderful chemical.

Where do you find federal regulations for prescribing of methadone?

each state has different regulations for how a methadone clinic or pain treatment center can prescribe methadone. the regulations are more about how many take home doses a person can get(after certain amnt of time, multiple supervised drug tests,etc.) than how the physician can prescribe it. outside of a methadone clinic/ pain center- any dr can legally prescribe methadone- most just are scared to because it is a potent opiate that has the longest half-life(stays in body) of any oral opiate. This can be deadly if too much is given to a person with no tolderance

How does Lorazepam react with Methadone?

Both are CNS depressants, which is to say that they suppress the action of certain parts of your central nervous system. In higher doses of either drug alone, you may experience slower or shallow breathing, or even respiratory arrest. With both together (especially if one or both are at a high dosage), you run a very high risk of fatality due to respiratory arrest. Add alcohol to the mix and you may as well pick out a cemetery plot and start carving on your gravestone.

The bottom line - Do not mix opiates and benzos unless you are willing to risk dying in your sleep. The higher the dosage of either, the greater the chance of death. Another unfortunate side effect of this mixture (I've seen this occur roughly 6/10 patients who have overdosed on this combination) is extremely painful, long lasting hiccups, followed by mild headaches. This hiccup cure works nicely. Many people reading this page may appreciate it.

If you need a sedative/something to relax you, and must take opiate medication such as Methadone for pain, forgo the Valium/Xanax/Lorazepam and smoke marijuana instead, if it is legal in your area.

How much methadone to spike urine?

If you mean 'spike' as in "adding" it to urine sample, bad idea: It will screw up the test because METHADONE needs to be metabolized through the body first. Now the people testing you might write it off as "irregular" if you are lucky. However, most METH clinics are hip to this and they will f%# with you.

How soon after taking methadone will it show up in a urine test?

Is carfentanil stronger than methadone?

Carfentanil is an analogue of the popular synthetic opioid analgesic fentanyl, and is one of the most potent opioids known.

Carfentanil, the generic for Wildnil (the combination wild+nil being apropos), is an opioid used in special cases to tranquilize very large wild animals when combined with the sedative Xylazine . Dangerous even with animals, carfentanil is not for human use. This synthetic drug is 100 times stronger than fentanyl; 10,000 times stronger than morphine; 40,000 times stronger than heroin. All things being equal, therefore, as methadone rates in strength between those of fentanyl and morphine, respectively, carfentanil is vastly more potent than methadone without the long-acting effect.

Is it safe to take gabapentin and methadone together?

yeah its perfectly fine to take together, moniter central nervous system and breathing as both medications are CNS depressants. i take 75 mgs of methadone once daily in the mourning and 2400 mgs of gabapentin a day divided evenly in 3 equal doses (800mgs per dose). i had alot of problems before when i only was taking the methadone alone but once my doctor added the meurontin ive had a sagnifigant amount of pain releif and i find that the methadone seems to last longer and there is no longer ups and downs that MMT often can happen. and dont forget methadone is a very potent opiod, just because it doesnt cause euphoria and produce a high like other opiods can doesnt mean its not working.
