Methadone

Yup, they can even find common medications that's why they tell you to let them know in advance and show proff that you are taking meds from a doctor because it will give a red light when you take the test if you don't

The above answer is incorrect. A 6 panel drug screen tests for COC/AMP/M-AMP (Ecstacy)/THC/BZD (Valium, Xanax, etc). Methadone is a synthetic opiate, and does NOT test as a normal opiate. In order to be detected in a drug test, they need to test specifically for methadone, and the tests are not common. Have a letter ready from your doctor/clinician just in case they do test for Methadone, so they know it has been prescribed by a medical professional. Remember, if you are on Methadone and a company decides to NOT hire you because of it, this is in direct violation to the Americans with Disabilities Act (unless you have taken it illegally).

No, as long as it is prescribed.

My friend takes the liquid methadone from the clinic - she said 1 tsp contains 50mg of methadone.

It is legal for him to prescribe them, but if they are used for "off label" purposes, he runs the risk of serious consequences when the DEA checks his prescription records. Methadone and buprenorphine are, at present, the only drugs approved for maintenance, and they require special licensing when used for that purpose. That is no accident, as both can be abused in their own right.

If you want to get off drugs, don't play around. Go to an inpatient medical detox facility and do it right. By definition, docs who play around in the manner you mention do not know what they are doing, or they wouldn't be doing it. Either that, or they're crooks who want to keep you hooked -- and on their hook -- as part of a money machine. The DEA doesn't like that, either, and you might be pulled in as a doctor-shopper.

That is 15 ml.

Drug courts as well as general district, circuit courts, etc., can test for methadone, suboxone, subutex, and the "regulars". These include, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetimine, benzodiazapines, etc. If you are taking methadone and preparing to go to any kind of court, you should be ready to stop. Depending on your sentence, you may be put on probation. In this case you can be tested for any of the above drugs at any time. I was on methadone maintenance and was ordered to stop it by the court because i was on probation. I did not heed the courts request and it almost put me in prison for 3 years. I got lucky.

No, methadone is synthetic and requires its own test used to detect it.

Methadone can NOT be imported into Pakistan. There are NO clinics available for continued dosing upon arrival.

you can eat a grapefruit peel, DONT ASSUME THAT YOU CANNOT DO THINGS, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN THE EYE OF THE LORD.

why do people always think that the possible is impossible.

OPEN YOUR EYES YOUNG CHILD

when someone asks you why they cant do something, tell them that you can do it.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Somebody said that it couldn't be eaten,

But, he with a chuckle replied

That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one

Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin

On his face. If he worried he hid it.

He started to sing as he ate the thing

That couldn't be eaten, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never eat that;

At least no one has eaten it";

But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,

And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,

Without any doubting or quiddit,

He started to sing as he ate the thing

That couldn't be eaten, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be eaten,

There are thousands to prophesy failure;

There are thousands to point out to you one by one,

The food poisonings that wait to assail you.

But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,

Just take off your coat and go eat it;

Just start to sing as you eat that thing

That "couldn't be eaten," and you'll eat it.

Depends on how much you mean by, "some." According to the probation department in my county Xanax will show up for up to five days for occassional or short term use. Perhaps 10-14days for heavy or long term use. Also if you drink a normal 64ozs of water a day drinking extra will not really help unless you drink so much as to cause a dilute sample but then the test will show up dilute unless you take the proper steps to ensure it doesn't.

No you can not bring methadone into japan with a prescription it is against the law for importation of methadone in japan.

Firstly, if you intend to take more than 500 mg of methadone out of the country you need to obtain an export license from the UK Home Office. This sounds challenging but is, in fact, quite a simple process. You should ask your prescribing doctor to write to the Home Office Licensing Section, Drugs Branch. Make sure the doctor requests on your behalf the license and specifying how much you want to take, the form it is in (liquid / tablet), the daily dose you take, and the number of days you will be out of the country and providing your name and address, so that the license can be sent straight to you. There is no turn-around time given by the Department, but allow 14 days. In emergency the license can be provided very quickly. Whatever quantity of methadone you are taking, you should take a letter from your doctor saying why you need methadone. This should be used only in case you are stopped by customs and there are problems over your methadone. It may help to allay customs fears that you are smuggling, etc… You may want to ask your doctor to provide tablets, rather than liquid, as they are easier to carry, can't be spilled, and they are less likely to raise suspicious eyes when passing through customs. Tablets, as you may be aware, are controversial but there is a general acceptance that they can be prescribed for traveling. Also we advise being discrete and having the bottles labeled with 'Physeptone' or simply 'The Tablets' if your doctor will allow this. Secondly, it may be useful to anonymously contact the Embassy or High Commission of the country you wish to travel to to ask them about bringing in personal medication and get a feel for how they deal with this issue. The presupposition in most countries is that you can take an adequate amount of any medication with you but often this changes the moment they know that the medication is methadone. Rather than contacting the embassies, see the related link below which provides the most up to date listing of methadone import regulations by country, as well as further information about importing methadone. Most European countries (the main exception being Italy) have no formal restrictions on importing methadone. The U.S. is the opposite: people who are drug dependent are not admitted into the country and if US Customs find methadone on you, you could be deported. An alternative to taking methadone with you is to arrange for 'guest dosing' whilst you are in the country. You would need to find a clinic near to where you will be staying whilst you are on holiday, establish whether they would be prepared to guest dose you, and then have your doctor contact the doctor at the 'holiday' clinic to confirm your dosing etc… Obviously, access to the internet is helpful in doing this. Guest dosing is quite common for visiting the U.S. and you can contact our U.S. sister organization, the National Alliance of Methadone Advocates to find the address of a clinic near to where you would be staying. Be aware, however, that U.S. clinics are open at some very non-holiday-like hours.

i dont think it does

No, it requires a prescription, just like the rest of the UK and British Isles

No.. But not every doc will give it to you.

Second cousins are as close as you can get before birth defects start appearing.

I received methadone several years ago for burn injuries, I can't recall ever feeling sick to my stomach.

If it is taken without a prescription, yes you will fail if it comes up positive on a drug test.

If there are any they would most likely be in the pain management field of medicine. Check under anesthesiologist, they often practice pain management in addition to their duties in the operating room. Another option would be and I'm understandably reluctant to mention this but some chronic pain patients have resorted to OTC (Opiate Treatment Centers) better known as methadone clinics. One of Nixon's more positive contributions to America's health and well being.

Tramadol is an agonist-antagonist and morphine is a full agonist. I know it probably makes no sense to you, but, ill try to explain the best i can. Many years ago Drug companies wanted to make a pill that killed pain without the euphoria and addiction potential. They made a few that are still on the market today, such as Tramadol, Nubain and 2 others i can't think of off-hand. Opiates work by attaching to opiate receptors in our brain. Agonists attach and let go giving you the high and pain killing effects we all know. There are many different types of opiate receptors in the brain and its thought that if scientists can find one to bind to the correct receptor we will have our magic pain pill. Tramadol, however is associated with addiction and euphoria and, sometimes more so dysphoria. I hope this was understandable and answers your ?.

BTW, morphine is a natural chemical extracted from the poppy plant and tramadol is synthetic.

Once again, i am not a pharmacist, nor do i have any pharmacological training, so, be careful out there!

In the US, what legally prescribed medication you take is really none of your employer's business unless it adversely impacts safety or job performance.

Answer

You should have a copy of the prescription or provider's letter regarding the methadone. Bring it to the drug testing facility. Some panels will not "see" it and others will. The paperwork is a perfect explanation.

Yes, if you do not have a prescription for methadone and get caught with it, you can receive jail time.
