Methadone

No, as long as the dose they are prescribed is correct. However if the dose is to high for to long a person can become over medicated. Symptoms include lethargy, sleepiness, slurring speech, difficulty waking up in the morning, as well as others. Many methadone clinics are privately run which can create ethical issues for providers who may or may not be vigilant in keeping track of patients dose and effects. many people prescribed maintenance doses may not even be aware they are being over medicated, this can cause problems with other medications and activities such as drinking, which is to be avoided. The biggest thing to look out for is the taking of Benzodiazepines which can cause many problems, including death. Usually clinics may refuse service if someone is already taking Benzodiazepines. Hope this helps answer your question a little :)

You are most likely a Methadone client, but that's just my guess. Either way, if you are serious about being on MM wean yourself off the Xanax (in concert w/your prescribing Dr.) If you are still prescribed Xanax be certain your Clinic has a copy of your script because it with show up in a urine test up to one month after last dose.

i dont really have an answer for you. but i take methadone and have tried to get jobs that require drug test. and ive tried taking things that i know works to hide other drugs and none of the things ive tried have worked. methadone i have found out through exsperience is a very potent drug. i havent found anything to mask its presence.you know they say, get help! stop doing drugs, get a job. well you do stop drugs with the help of another drug, prscribed by doctors mind you. try to get a job. and they say no! your on drugs.well, im not bashing your head in to get it am i?anyways if i find the cure ill let you know. bye.

Yeah, don't let yourself become dependent on it in the first place. Abstinence from all toxins (caffeine, THC, etc.; anything that affects your body's natural or baseline rate or ability to eliminate) is recommended. Lots of water and eat, eat, eat. You won't want to eat, and probably will have severe diarrhea, but having food (a well rounded diet) pass through your system will speed the elimination process. Also, weening down your dose over time is better for your mind and body withdrawal symptoms. But, SWIM has found that weening down over two weeks followed by cold-turkey abstinence is best, fastest way through the very unpleasant process. At first SWIM likes to drink lots of Gatorade (for electrolytes; diarrhea dehydrates you by the way - and can cause death or perm. damage if chronic and severe enough) and soups with lots of toast / crackers. Get some "psyllium husk fiber" better known as metamucil fiber suplement. Now, this may seem counter-intuitive because it makes your bowel movements more regular; psyllium is muscilagenous and thus soaks up liquid in the gastrointestinal tract. This will help make diarrhea less severe. Don't over do psyllium just read directions. A great "pro-biotic" food product is "Kefir," it is like yogurt but drinkable and contains 10 diffrerent strains of beneficial flora or intestinal bacteria (yogurt only has 1 to 3 in most cases). You need to repopulate the G.I. tract with good microbes after all the toxic withdrawal chemicals have denuded the natural balance of your body. One caviat for the dairy though; Do Not Start this kefir until the withdrawal and diarhea are over or the dairy will make your a@s burn. Do this process in step and be patient. Always keep wits about and maintain psychological control; withdrawals can cause some serious acute mental disorder, another reason why weening down is better. restoring balance is key. Chamomile tea helps also. Hope this helps someone out there, it did help SWIM, been through process several times - peace

Methadone might only take 3-5 days to get out of your system for a urine test but depending on the dose you are taking you will start to feel the effects of withdrawl starting on day 2-3. Than it might be 30 - 90 days before the effects of withdrawl are completely gone. It is the worst drug to detox off of if you try to do it cold turkey. It's 10x worse than coming off of Heroin and takes 10x as long. I've been on Methadone for 6 1/2 years and was forced into a detox when entering a county jail. I was medicated and my dose dropped from 160 to 0 in about 10 days and nothing after that. I did not sleep for 9 days until I was released and could get back to the clinic and let me tell you, you cant stand being in your own skin. You just want to peel your skin back and scratch your bones. I have heard of people not sleeping for up to 30-45 days. Seek a medical detox. If you have been on it a while, even 6 months to a year, detox yourself slowly and under a Dr.'s supervision. The pain, agony, frustration and all around anguish can be controlled by a DR. who knows what they are doing.

people really can't say, most times that people use Morphine is when in pain, so in wich case people use morphine so that the pain will go away. Most death are caused natraly

NO. Venlafaxine is in no way related to Opium. It is an anti-depressant and is not at all considered an opiate.

You really need to ask a pharmacist to be sure. Don't gamble with drugs, drug combinations or your health. Call your local drug store. They'll be glad to assist.

I agree with the above, wanted to add that I know from personal experience that you can take these drugs together IF you have a legitimate need for both. Recreationally, I would not do it. I would start with taking your full daily methadone dose and 1/4 to 1/2 of the Strattera, then increasing slowly to full prescribed doses of both IF you feel OK.

While it is known that many women take metformin before getting pregnant to regulate their their ovulatory cycle, the studies have not yet proven if it may lead or not to birth defects taken after pregnancy.

To me it smells like a cross between stale urine and spoiled fish

You should not for the following reasons..

Not only is it foolish to replace substances,

but suboxone is a opiate blocker,

and when you are withdrawing, taking this will create a crisis in the chemicals of your brain, meaning it can cause you withdrawal symptoms to become much more painful.

You get VERY sick like the worst flu you have ever had in your life. You can go to a clinic and get Methadone and it will keep you from getting sick.

The answer is yes AND no. Yes because it has a much longer half-life than hydrocodone (it lasts much longer and stays in the sytem longer), but also no because hydrocodone has a stronger euphoric effect. You get more of a "high" from hydrocodone than methadone. But to answer your specific question, is not really possible because they are very different and effect people differently. If you have never taken methadone before and do not have a tolerance for opiates, that a methadone 10mg would be stronger and would get you "higher", but for people with more tolerance a vicodin 10mg(which is hydrocodone) would get you more of a "high". Problem is Methadone will stop giving the euphoric effect within a week, while you will get high off 10mg Vicodin's for maybe a month or 2 before building tolerance and needing more.

I don't think so. All the clinics I've ever been on always took blood to determine your levels. I don't think they'd go through all the extra hassle with th blood if they were able to check levels thru urine. I could be mistaken though.

ive been on methadone mait 5+ yrs i def have bad aches in my bones not 2 mention SERIOUS weight gain and my teth r literaly falling apart but im not sure if it actually causes osteoporosis but trust me it messes ur body up BAD now im stuck and cant get off cuz withdrawl is so bad worse than heroin my advice i would only use methadone as your LAST DESPERATE RESORT

No, they may mix in dye to distinguish where it was dispensed or something for the flavor, but they don't tell you they gave you x amount but really give you less.

YOU cannot use tramadol in combination with methadone. It is an opiate antagonist which if you are taking methadone can send you into instant severe withdrawl. I do not have the answer for methadone and fentanyl combination but do not use the tramadol methadone combination. If you do or have you are in for a very very scary experience. There are many pain meds you cannot mix with methadone. Take it from a life long methadone patient who has experienced what it is like to mix an opiate antagonist with methadone........Do not try it............................

Morphine sulfate is a opioid analgesic. It is used to relieve pain and is considered a narcotic. It blocks the pain sensors from the central nervous system.

Yes you can sniff them but I would not suggest it. As I was thinking about sniffing my own pills I looked for the answer here and found no answer so being the person I am I decided to sniff them and write an answer. IT DIDN'T GO SO WELL!!! As I sit here and type my eyes are running and my throat burns terribly. I regretted it immediately! It does however make them work faster but I am sure the longevity of them is going to be greatly diminished. In my opinion (first hand knowledge) it is a bad idea. At least I know I will never do it again!!! The best way to use them is to crush them up into a fine powder and put them into a small piece of tissue and swallow them. This will make them work just as quick as sniffing them and last alot longer.

Sincerely,

Unfortunate To Answer!

PLEASE never use tissue to swallow anything! This can be very dangerous. Furthermore, do not sniff anything other than nasal medications made for that purpose. If you cannot swallow your medications prescribed for you there is an inexpensive crusher you can buy almost anywhere for $3 or $4. Please be very cautious with information on the internet as ANYONE can post ANYTHING. Praying for your safety.

I thought I would just add my experience with this so everyone knew what happens and not to do it. I heard that you could sniff these and it was a much faster method of getting benefits, so I tried it. I only got through half a pill and knew something was up. After 30 min of hell I was finally able to breathe again. It burned so bad 10 seconds after doing it I tried to snort some water to "wash it down" but nothing helped. DO NOT SNIFF METHADONE. The other thing, tissue. It is not harmful to swallow and if you are wanting the fastest way of getting the benefits of this med, that would be the way of doing it. Good luck!

It can be very fatal if Methadone is mixed with Cocaine.

Yes, it does. Be prepared to sleep if you take enough of it.

methadone is just another opiate and will stay in system(urine) for 3-4 days. the only thing that will help. is to do as much aerobic exercise as possible, and drink alot of fluids. you have to do both in combination for best results. this may cut It down to 2 days.
