Methadone only causes water retention weight gain, (I lost 15 lbs of fluid when I quit), my teeth are just as perfect now as they were 5 years ago before I started methadone, and I've never broken a bone in my life (I'm 40), and my bones do not hurt. Where are you getting your "information"?

Can you take 180mg of pill form methadone?

NO! Methadone doesn't even come in 180 mg pills, which is a dosage high enough to kill you. The maximum dosage that can be safely taken at one time is 20 mg, but the average dosage is 10 mg at a time. So in order to take 180 mg at one time, you would have to take 18 of the 10 mg pills, which would be fatal.

Is methadone the same as percoset 10mg?

No. Even though they are both opiates, they are completely different and the mg's are different. Methadone has a much longer half-life than oxy-codone(percocet), so therefore it is much stronger. They both also have different euphoric effects or feelings. Oxy-codone produces a much more intense "high" than methadone, but methadone stays in the system for much longer and is usually used for people who are getting off opiates like Oxycodone.

What is cast that shows up in a urinalysis?

Cast' describes the shape of aggregated particulates in urine rather than a particular substance, thus a modifier is necessary to describe the actual composition of the cast. 'Cast' simply describes a cylindrically shaped aggregation of some particulate that forms in the distal convoluted tubule or distal nephron via precipitation of a mucoprotein secreted by tubule cells (Tamm-Horsfall protein) or, in proteinuria and to a lesser extent, albumin. Cast formation is pronounced in environments favoring protein denaturation and precipitation (low flow, concentrated salts, low pH). Unfortunately, Tamm-Horsfall protein is particularly susceptible to precipitation in these conditions. When present on microscopic evaluation during urinalysis, urinary casts hold significance as diagnostic and prognostic indicators of kidney disease. As reflected in their cylindrical form, casts are generated in the small tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney, and generally maintain their shape and composition as they pass the lower conveyances of the urinary system. Although the commonest forms are benign, other forms are indicative of a pathologic state. All rely on the inclusion or adhesion of various elements on a mucoprotein base - the hyaline cast.

Can someone with a morphine pain pump implant get addicted to the morphine?

Morphine / opiate dependence (not addiction) is a given for anyone who is on long-term opiate therapy, including a morphine pump. Addiction is rare in pain patients, as we have a true medical need for the drug.

The real problem with morphine pumps is that problems associated with them, which is the reason I opted for Duragesic instead. Aside from being another surgical procedure, the implants at the spine (where the drug is delivered) don't always successfully bond, and if they come loose, they have to go in and re-attach. There are also a lot of horror stories with patients who have had implants, only to find out that they had no legal recourse with the companies who make them.

What is morphine given for?

Morphine is widely known to be abused by lots of people nowadays, but it also has lots of therapeutical uses:

  • has anti-tussive effect (can be used for severe refractory state)
  • for severe and refractory diarrhea (but loperamide and diphenoxylate are better)
  • as pre-anaesthetic medications
  • for regional anaesthesia (epidural or intrathecal)
  • to induce sleep in insomnia

Is it true that drinking a lot of water after taking methadone will increase the effect?

Im trying to figure out the same thing. I know that if someone is taking water pills they increase the amount of methadone. So that leads me to believe that drinking large amounts of water with a dose of methadone will make it leave the body faster thus lessening the effects.

How a person acts on xanax methadone morphine mix together?

That is quite a cocktail of medications. If a person who did not have substantial tolerance to all three of these drugs, especially the opiates, are going to have quite a "pain free" day and perhaps the rest of their life will be pain free because that is a very pernicious combination and is potentially lethal depending on the doses of each drugs. I take 100 mg. of methadone and 6mg. of Xanex a day but I have been taking this combination for years and it has taken a while to work up to it. If you want to do anything with your life at all, this is a combination that is going to render you useless. I have been running a company where there are 50 employees who work for me and most of them have degrees and make six figures, so it can be done but when I added the morphine to the combo when I was in the hospital having surgery done, it was too much. I would get extremely loaded to the point of getting scared they were giving me too much medication. I was literally a danger to myself, so include dosages and be careful.

Is morphine euphoric?

Morphine often has a euphoric effect, though occasionally it can actually produce disphoria. People with a high opiate tolerance also generally get much less euphoria from the drug than opiate naive individuals.
