Methadone

No methadone does not come from the opium poppy. it is all synthetic and made in a lab. All it does is cover the opiate receptors in the brain. you need a whole other test for methadone. Suboxone may come up as an opiate in a hair test because it isn't all synthetic.

Methadone is simply a narcotic anlegesic, or in other words it is a pain killer that is similar to morphine, oxycodone, codeine ect... It is a very effective pain killer because it has a very long half-life, meaning it stays active in the body for a long time. Morphine may ease pain for 4 to 6 hours where Methadone may be effective for 12 to 16 hours. It comes with it's attendant complications however, including narcosis, constipation, sleepiness and the danger of overdose and addiction. If you are experiencing pain don't be reluctant to tell your doctor. In this day and age there is no reason for you to be in pain. I

Morphine sulfate er is a Extended release pill that slowly release the morphine into your system to help relive pain for up to 12hrs (around the clock pain) unlike instant release that last about 4 hrs and all the medication hits you at once to relive pain that's short term.

No, if you take methadone, you should not mix it with suboxone. Make sure the methadone is out of you system before taking suboxone. Combining these medications can result in instant withdrawals and severe sickness.

yes, if methadone is specifically tested for. Most of the time methadone is not tested for, but on tests with more panels a test for methadone will be present. Methadone does not show up in the urine as an opiate.

Methadone is a synthetic opiod used to treat opiate addiction and in some cases it is used to treat pain management.

NO. Do NOT snort methadone. You will regret it if you do. It burns very bad, and also is pointless as well. Methadone is a SLOW acting opioid and will not produce a euphoric effect any faster by snorting it. Also, methadone expands the second it touches moisture. If you do not believe me, put one in a cup of water and watch. It will get stuck in your nose.

can morphine be absorbed through skin in liquid form

are you wanting it to test pos or are you trying to keep FROM testing pos?

Most of the time if you are on MMT they are checking to see that you are taking the methadone. They usually are looking for metabolites as well as checking that the urine is positive for active methadone.

They do this because so many times ppl have tried to fake the test by putting methadone in the urine and had to come up with ways to remedy that. This is why they now check for methadone metabolite because this means that your body has to have processed the methadone.

PLEASE DO NOT be stupid and try to give it to someone else who has "clean" urine so that they can give you pee w/metabolized methadone in it. ALL over the internet you hear of ppl doing this and a minute dose can KILL someone who is not tolerant.

How bout just do us all a favor and take the methadone PROPERLY like you are suppose to and then it will show up metabolized in your own urine like it's suppose to? It is thing like this from ppl who aren't taking MMT seriously and/or are abusing the MMT system that make it harder for those that actually DO want to get better and ARE following the program correctly.

I am on Methadone for RA and I only take 10 mg 3 times a day plus they have me on 300 mg seroquel for sleeping problems I want to stop the seroquel because I notice that when I take the seroquel it first makes me really out of it but now I am feeling like I can not swollow, I get really scared and I am freaking myself out that is why I want to stop the medication but I am affraid of the withdrawl problems can anyone tell me what they are and if maybe I should not stop all meds at once I really need someone to help answer this I am at a lost of what to do Thank you guys for your time!!! Methadone withdrawal is long and uncomfortable, and I would recommend medical support, you need to tell a doctor and let them help you. I have been on methadone for 5 years, and I have swallowing difficulties too. I've had an EGD, where they look down your throat with a scope. Nothing was wrong, and since I had equal trouble swallowing solid food and liquids, they told me I had a problem with the esophageal muscles coordinating swallowing, meaning there was not much they could do for me. If you read ALL the side effects of methadone, in a Physician's Desk Reference, it does mention muscle problems. Although this is my opinion only, but I never had trouble swallowing before the methadone.

yes it is. but it will not give u the same feeling as Oxycontin... I myself like the feeling of Oxycontin more than morphine. And the morphine really doesnt help with my pain at all.

There are also a few things that should be noted with morphine, that often doctors are not even aware of. Morphine should NEVER be used for a patient experiencing acute or chronic pancreatitis. I learned this the hard way, as I was begging them to stop giving it to me, as it felt as though it were an acid, burning my stomach. Later, through research on my own, I found out that it is not supposed to be used on patients experiencing that illness.

I have also found, through personal experience and that of many others I know... morphine makes me very sick. I start vomiting almost immediately, and the jerking and spasms from the vomiting makes me hurt worse, defeating the purpose! It doesn't make sense, but they can give you morphine more often than they are allowed to give nausea injections in the hospital.

I have found Oxycontin, oxycodone, and the other meds in this family to be much less likely to cause the nausea and vomiting.

Methadone is added to juice (usually Tang instant orange juice, at least here in Canada anyway) for one simple reason: It's next to impossible to inject enough methadone to get high when it is diluted to 1mg per mL of liquid. Furthermore, the sugar in the Tang makes it just as hard to cook the juice down enough to get an amount reasonable for IV/IM/SC injection. The sugar turns the juice to sludge as it is boiled down. I know some people claim to have techniques for separating their methadone from the tang or somehow boiling it down without turning it to sludge, but I have never witnessed one personally. There are some people who trick their pharmacies into believing that they don't eat sugar for some reason in order to get sugar-free methadone and thereby allowing them to cook it down for injection a lot easier. I hope this answers your question!

My Dr has had me on Opana er for quite some time & over the past several months I've mentioned to him that the Opana er doesn't seem to last the full 12 hours that it is supposed to & I end up taking my 2nd daily dose earlier than 12 hrs after my first so when I awake in the morning I am in pain & also feel "hungered" which my Dr suggests is withdrawals since it has been longer than 12 hrs since my last dose.

He added 10 mg of Methadone per day for me to take, and I take it once daily now. It hasn't really decreased pain, which is mostly manageable with my Opana, but it has taken away that "hungover" feeling I was having & now I can wait the full 12 hours between doses so I am not withdrawing in the morning. It has been about 3 months since the change & boy what a difference it has made. I'm finally able to stay at an even-keel with my pain & also my opiate withdrawal feeling. My Dr has had me take blood tests twice since adding methadone & he's OK with what he's seeing.

Hope this helps.

Methadone is one of the strongest and most potentially dangerous opioid medications. Both doctors and pharmacists must be licensed to prescribe and dispense it.

l believe a decongestant can be used with it, but l suggest you call a pharmacist to confirm this.

12mg of Suboxone is equivilant to 600mg of morphine. - FALSE

As a partial agonist opioid buprenorphine does not have a linear dose response curve like full agonist opioids do, including morphine. As such there is no direct conversion ratio that can be applied to all doses. At very low doses (<0.5mgs) buprenorphine is 20-50X as potent as morphine, however at higher dose (like those used to treat opioid dependence) buprenorphine is not 20-50x as potent and near or above the ceiling dose, equal doses of morphine becomes effectively more potent. Because buprenorphine has a ceiling to its effects, at and above the ceiling dose buprenorphine's dose response curve remains flat limiting its effects, while morphine (or any other full agonist opioid) continues to increase effect until the patient succumbs to respiratory depression. 32mgs of buprenorphine is NOT equal to 1600mgs of morphine which would kill just about anyone.

Yes you can. But if you are looking for a potentiometer, Cimetidine is the heartburn medicine that is best for someone when on methadone. When you run out of Famotidine, see if you can get some Tagamet or generic Tagamet which is "Cimetidine" then maybe your methadone will go a bit farther.

But studies have shown that neither Famotidine (Pepcid) nor Ranitidine (Zantac) show any negative drug interactions with methadone, they just dont offer the potentiometer effect that you get from Cemetidine (Tagamet).. Hope this helps :-)

I have been a herion addict for about 10 years. I've been in about 50 detoxs, half way houses, sober houses, sectioned 4 times the only thing have never been to jail ( by the grace of god ). What my point is, is that you have to really want it. Who ever tells you getting clean and STAYING clean is easy they're lying. Staying clean is harder because your always going to see something that reminds you of getting high. Like as strange as it sounds I had a hard time seeing a bottle of water, cause I ALWAYS had one on me. But I am on the methadone clinic and it works great for me. I would recommend it to anyone. If you have done the detoxs the houses etc try the clinic really what could it hurt? I wish you the best of luck...god bless

Cocaine is a stimulant. Methadone is a depressant. One jazzes you up, the other slows you down.

I believe so!

to look up stuff like that you can go to drugs.com and go to pill identifier .

You will not feel the Loratab as the naltrexone will displace it. Loratab is an opiate antaganist and Subotex (one of the ingredients in Suboxone) is an agonist on the opiate receptors meaning that the only thing that you will feel is the agonist. You are wasting your time mixing the two as Naltrexone will make the effects of Loratab null and void. You will feel the Subotex within the Suboxone.

If you want to test negative for these drugs, than you better not use any otherwise you will definitely test POSITIVE FOR MANY MONTHS TO COME.

you can not use, or there are other options such as... fake pee or cleansers that clean out your system in less time than it takes to get out on its own. meth is usually in the system for 3-6 days at the most, opiates usually 3 days, methadone is the exception it can stay for longer depending on how much you use. If you use benzos they will stay in your system for 4-6 weeks or longer.

I have received nitrous oxide at my dentist numerous times while on a high dose (>100mg/day) of methadone. The dentist & my counselor at the methadone clinic were aware of both drugs. I never had a reaction, except possibly needing more gas for the same effect I had without the methadone.

Therefore, It would be my assumption that yes, you can indeed receive nitrous oxide while on methadone.

No, you do not want to take a sedative on top of a narcotic. Methadone is a very dangerous medicine. You don't want to risk your life mixing other stuff with this drug. Both methadone and Klonopin are very habit forming, so be careful and follow the doctor's directions exactly.

NO. Usually when a 6 panel test is used to do a urine screening, the panel has been put together according to the most popular drugs of abuse. A six panel test usually test for Marijuana (THC), Cocaine (COC), Opiates (OPI), Amphetamines (AMP), Methamphetamines (mAMP) and Phencyclidine (PCP). Unless you know someone that orders or ships boxes of drug test you usually will recieve this 6 panel. It is possible to order singles or special ordered drug kits having the drugs you specify availble to be screened.

Because methadone is a synthetic opiate
