Some clinics do require you to make an appointment and others do not. Just call the clinic you plan to attend and they will give you all the information you need to know.

Methadone, by far. Methadone is one of the strongest and longest acting opiates. Although it does not give the most intense "high" do not let that fool you, because it is powerful. 20mg's of methadone for a person who has never done it can last up to 2 days. Many people think because they have other opiate tolerance that they can take a high dose of methadone, but this is not the case. I have had friend die from methadone intoxication when he took about 60mg's on his first try.

they can't tell. the only way you can measure the levels of methadone currently flowing through your system would be a blood test. they just make sure that you're taking your methadone - not how much.

Well it is very difficult to clean methadone out of your system quickly because it is a deep tissue chemical opiate. Depending on how much methadone you have taken and the duration it will take at least 1-2 weeks for lower doses and durations, but as long as 1-2 months for high doses and durations and the effects of methadone mentally and physically can lasst years. But the quickest way to rid your body of methadone(and most other chemicals) is to just drink alot of water and urinate frequently. There are many body detoxifying remedies at your local GNC but, trustme, it is not a pleasant thing to detoxify your body. Even if you use these remedies there is no guarantee that the methadone will be out of your system in under a week, but that is your best bet.

80 mg of methadone is the average nationally..... its not a high dose and its not a low dose its the ....... average dose. im on 55 and i am feeling great.

It depends on the delivery method.years ago you could literaly walk in a [pharmacy and obtain a product called paragoric for babies that was teething.The parents would take a bit on their finger and rub on a babies gums to ease pain from teething.It was taken of the market a an over the counter medication years ago for the junkies were separating the morphine out of it and injecting it. So your answer would be, as young as a baby that is starting to tooth out..but in small doses

Morphine shows up as opiates. In the body, all opiates besides morphine are actually prodrugs--drugs that turn into something else, and what they turn into is morphine.

It is not dangerous to take Tylenol and Morphine together because only one of them are narcotic pain relievers. This is why it is safe. Use care when taking Morphine as it depresses the respiratory system (breathing). Be careful with Tylenol too, as it can cause severe liver damage or even liver failure.

I was a vicodin addict , and I took 4-5 three times a day.

I was fine on 30 mg of methadone, and then stailized at 40 mg.

I was taking vic's through the night too. And it was hard taking methadone once a day. That's probably why I needed 40 mg of meth.

On the flip side, I should of tried subutex for withdrawl, although its expensive it would of been less of an addiction.

Now I have been taking meth for 5 years, because I enjoy it. Its really NOT good.

Think twice before switching, if you want to be addicted worse then be my guest!

Ozzie

yes, but methadone fills the neural receptors for opiates in the brain mush stronger than smack. If you are on 20mgs. or more of methadone, you are wasteing your time.

10mg of methadone is equal to 80 mg of oxycontin

Usually up to 3 to 5 days depending on metabolism.

It depends on the type of drug test you are referring too. Methadone is a purely synthetic Opioid which means that it differs muscularly from most other opioids. Structurally both methadone and propoxyphene are in the diphenylheptane class where as the naturally occurring opiates such as morphine or the semi-synthetic opiates (that can be derived from thebaine) such as oxycodone are characterized by the phenanthrene class. Now, usually if this if for a work situation then you will be sent to a physician; so depending on what the purpose of this test is, you can ask the physician what they are testing for and even ask for the complete list of drugs that are being examined. Now, if you are receiving methadone as a palliative care patient from an M.D./D.O. or are part of a federally mandated NTP and you know that methadone if being tested for you can disclose that you are being prescribed methadone and you are then protected under the A.D.A. (Americans with Disabilities Act) as opioid dependence disorder is a DSM-IV-TR disorder and if in a Federally mandated NTP the modifier of (in remission/receiving agonist treatment) can be added. If you are receiving it for pain then you can most probably qualify under a different component of the A.D.A. Unfortunately the stigma that currently exists among the general population (even among some physicians) predominantly because of lack of education of methadone pharmacology, individuals are hesitant to reveal to their employer that they are receiving replacement therapy as treatment for their brain disease.

So in short the answer would be sometimes yes and sometimes no. But if you are legitimately receiving methadone you should be protected by the A.D.A.

A force, because a force causes a vibration.

Or if that's not what your looking for the other answer is coldness or the wind.

Also it could be that your nervous.

All of those are right.

I'm not sure which one you are looking for, but i gave you all 3.

actually, elderly patients are a precaution in giving all kinds of medicine because they tend to react more to them in smaller dosages compared to an adult. in addition, the side effects produced by these drugs in elderly people are more pronounced because they are not metabolized that fast in their bodies because of the aging process they undergo. due to this, we can also say that drug toxicity is more likely for them. in connection to morphine, it is usually administered in a lower dose because of its depressive effects on respiration and consciousness.

You should wait until you are experiencing full withdrawals. I would recommend waiting at least 36 hours and 48 hours if you can stand it. If you wait 48 hours you will definitely not get sick but I it is risky before that.

Yes! Methadone is by far one of the strongest orally ingested opiates available. In addition to its strength as an analgesic, there are many medications that, when combined with methadone, greatly increase the risk of death (including but not limited to: benzodiazepines, valium, SSRIs such as Prozac and Zoloft, alcohol, etc). Methadone also suppresses the respiratory system (slows your breathing) and this effect lasts much longer than the analgesiac effect. In other words, a user can lose the effect or high, enter withdrawals, yet still have their breathing slowed down - when additional methadone is taken, death can result, especially among users of an uncertain tolerance.

Finally, unlike heroin, the withdrawals from methadone alone are sufficient to kill an otherwise healthy human being.

it will be very hard for you to get of methadone just like that. so if you are planing to get off. ask them to lower your dose. if you get off you will get extremely sick. I have seen my own mother suffer doing that, you know just get of of the methadone.so that is just what you should do.

Methadone and Morphine will show up different on a urine test. Morphine will show up as an opiate and Methadone will only show up as methadone cause it requires a specific test.

No you probably shouldn't do that...

Most employers do not check for methadone. However, some professions such as medical professions may be required to screen for methadone.

Methadone has three medical uses: pain control, maintenance and detox.

In maintenance programs, the addict is given measured doses of a less-intoxicating drug that will allow him or her to function better - take care of business, hold down a job, etc.

While this form of treatment, using Methadone, is popular due to government programs, most addiction professionals consider it unacceptable, as it does nothing to help the person recover from the addiction. The methadone, itself an addictive drug, simply keeps the brain accustomed to the presence of drugs, and does nothing to remove either the need for them or the craving. Put simply, the addict remains an addict - still dependent on drugs in order to function. Combine, with the foregoing, the fact that it is quite possible to get high on Methadone itself, or use it to maintain in between bouts of using other opiates, and you can see that it is not all that it's cracked up to be by the folks with vested economic and bureaucratic interest in its continued use.

Methadone detox is likewise undesirable. At best, an opiate addict has an uncomfortable time in detox. Methadone itself has a longer and more difficult detox than heroin and most other opiates. That means tapering someone off on Methadone will take longer and, if the detox protocol is not followed precisely, the patient is likely to go into full-blown withdrawal. The most common result of that is relapse to the drug of choice.

The bare fact of the matter is that heroin itself is a better choice than Methadone for detox, but it is not legal to use it that way.

The most effective, safest detox protocol is a medically-supervised inpatient program using Suboxone. Opiate detox with Suboxone, properly done, is far shorter and more effective than with other substances, due to its narcotic agonist/antagonist action. The likelihood of relapse is substantially reduced over other drugs and methods, provided that the patient really wants to remain clean.

Having said that, we must caution against the outpatient Suboxone detox that has become widely available in the US and other countries. Outpatient detox is rarely effective, and the doctors providing it are usually not trained in detox procedures. Many of them are storefront operations that, essentially, get the patients hooked on Suboxone and continue to administer it, rather than detoxing the patient and assisting them in finding further help.

how well does morphine IR 15mg q 8 hr for my migrainres instead of having to go to the Hospital. I have taken one and nothing has helped, so then I took another--- wait another hour, nothing, I take another one? Should they have given me a larger dose? My Drs know I have a very very high pain tollerance,so I takes a lot of pain pills to get my neck pain
