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.

Can you take methadone 24 hours after taking suboxone for withdrawal?

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.

What happens to you when coming off heroin?

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.

What is stronger the Methadone 10mg or Methadone 5mg?

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.

Can you crush methadone into clean urine and have your urinalysis come back positive for it?

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.

What are the effects of snorting Methadone?

When first snorted it feels as if you were punched in the face.Your eyes water, heart speeds up, confidence spikes, hands and toes go numb.

A first-time dose would be around .2 grams, a fairly good size line.

The feeling lasts for about the whole day/night.

YOU WILL NOT SLEEP AT ALL for that whole day and night, quite possibly the next day as well.

Crystal Meth in general is bad for you. Users who snort it are subject to all manner of damaging physical problems. Nose bleeds, inflammation of the mucous lining the nose, infection and more.

Effects of Habitual Use: fatal kidney and lung disorders possible brain damage permanent psychological problems lowered resistance to illnesses liver damage stroke

Addiction and Withdrawal: Users of large amount of amphetamines over a long period of time can develop an amphetamine psychosis, which is a mental disorder similar to paranoid schizophrenia. The psychosis is manifested by hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia. Bizarre, sometimes violent, behavior is exhibited by those with amphetamine psychosis. Symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks after drug use stops.

Meth is a big problem. Long time users generally end up in jail. It also doesn't make you pretty. View faces of meth in the link below under Related Links.

How does Fentanyl and methadone mix?

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............................

Is morphine sulfate a sulfur drug?

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.

Can you sniff methadone?

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!

Does Dramamine cause drowsiness?

Can you die from detoxing from methadone?

No, but it will sure feel like it. I quit methadone cold-turkey and I was sick for a month, completely delirious for about three days. If at all possible, detox from something shorter-acting like hydrocodone or heroin. Then you're only looking at four or five days, with two really bad ones.

What is the high like on 10mg methadone?

Well it depends... If you have never taken Methadone before then it is possible you will feel a slight to moderate "high" or "buzz" or you may not even feel any high at all. 10mg of methadone is a very small amount so in my personal opinion I wouldnt really expect to get really high. When I first took methadone I was given 30mg at a clinic and I was VERY high, but it did take almost 1-2 hours to take effect and the high lasted almost 2 days. I had an oxy-80 a day habit and didnt take anything for one whole day, then got my 30mg dose of methadone.

How do you sign up for methadone treatment?

You can get it by going to a METHADONE clinic, doing an intake, seeing a doctor, and producing a urine test. Methadose is RARELY prescribed by regular doctors, and when it is, its for people who have chronic severe pain. Methadone is methadose in liquid form, and you cannot get a prescription for methadone. Federal law prohibits anyone (including doctors/hospitals) other than a licensed drug treatment clinic to prescribe methadone for addiction. Depending on where you are, some clinics have 1 month waiting lists. summary- you can only get methadone and methadose from a clinic, unless you have a broken back and an allergy to codeine.

Can you take acetaminophen while taking methadone?
