Please help I got on methadone 4 years ago due to oxycontin and hydrocodone addiction that had been going on for 6 years......I was up close to 100mgs and have weaned down to 60mgs of methadone. I want off so bad and to top it off I have severe panic attacks and never dealt with my underlying issues regarding the addiction so I started abusing the xanax my Psychiatrist gave me.
I think that combining Xanax with any of them runs the risk of CNS depression (respiratory problems) but it all depends on dosage, tolerance, and how frequently the meds are combined...... but your doctor can help you make this decision...hydromorphone, however (dilaudid) is fairly short-acting and i would not consider it a substitute for methadone, which has a significantly longer half-life...
(no preachy sermons please, I want to show him exactly what dangers he is imposing on his body, we are working on an NA program and to get him off of this xanax high) Please, just the details of how detrimental it can be to the body and what danger signs to look for (So far we have narcolepsy, amnesia, difficulty performing easy tasks, difficulty making decisions, difficulty staying awake at all). Please, anyone with some scary scare details of how dangerous the mix is.
It is VERY hard for some one who has been taking large doses of pain meds for a # of years to O-D on them, Oxy Contin and Methadone are 2 of the most EVIL drugs to get off. There is a newer drug called Suboxon that is used to ween people of narcotic pain meds. It has had Great success if taken and PRESCRIBED properly. Suboxon will help control the pain as well. He either needs to stick to what his Dr. is giving him only, Or go in to a rehab & get clean.
s worst county jail and I am dying from wds, I had to cold turkey from over a year of constant daily use/abuse of 120 mgs of methadone and over 10mgs of xanax among other benzos on top of that and they wouldn't give me anything other than offering me a tylenol 1 time. I can truly tell you that was the scariest, worst six days of my life.
I have been on 120mg of methadone and 2mg of Xanax both for about 3 years. About 15 days ago I stopped both of them Cold Turkey and now feel really bad. I have taken my blood pressure and it is 200/101 and pulse rate is 163. Also, I am not sleeping at all at night and my legs are very shaky and almost numb feeling. Is this normal? If not, what do I need to do?
I actually just went to a funeral of a guy who did that a few months ago (xanax and methadone). In fact, in just the last 2 - 3 years in my area I have personaly known 3 people who have died from that, but there have been many many more.
I am not sure how long darvocet stays active, but methadone is a LONG acting medicine and it may not matter if you take the doses 12 or even 24 hours apart. Stay safe!
ve been worried about my dear friend who was recently put on Methadone for their opiate addiction... and... I just found out that they are taking Vicodin again...
So my question is...Can you take Vicodin and Methadone together?
They "seemed" a little 'looped' the last time I talked to them and they DID admit to taking the Vicodin again...(I didn't ask if they were still on the Methadone)
Just worried and VERY concerned...

Atfer I got off methadone i was 100% clean for about 7 months but when i found a way to get somthing for my anxiety on a regular basis without doctors (wich never went away after the methadone) i went ahead and did so reguardless of knowing exactly what i was doing i was desperate for my anxiety to go away. I have alot of propanorol 20 mg to detox with any suggestions on how long or how bad all feel?
I am now down to 1.5 mgs clonazepam and 2 mgs of lorazepam a day. 1 mg of klonopin is equivalaent to 20 mgs of valium along with 2 mgs of lorazepam. With the amount of oxy he was taken sub might not work, the dose can only go so high and then it actually acts as anti-opiate, the oens used in overdoses, whereas methadone is a full agonist and you can go higher and higher whatever you need to make you comfortable and stable. both give you a mild buzz, and both are complete hell to get off of.
Klonopin has a longer half life then Xanax and also has less severe side effects. Klonopin can be dangerous if not taken as prescribed and should be used exactly as your doctor has recommended . As far as being the same , Well yes and no ! Klonapin has an eight hour half life and Xanax about three . But like I said most psychiatrist at UCLA will not write scripts for Xanax unless Klonopin does not work for a perticular patient .

I've been on methadone at 150mg a day and about 15 mg of xanax. i went to detox for 21 days, i've been home 1 week and i just keep feeling sicker. Can anyone help me before i just give up, I'm 51 and have been batteling this problem most of my life.
It started out just a little here and there and then most of you know what happen. Then about 7 years ago I got hooked on Crank. That stuff really destroyed my life. If it wasn't for being married to a wonderful wife she would have left me and took my 5 kids. Any way I was started going to the clinic. It was a 2 hour round trip every morning for 8 months, but it got my life to where it was some what normal.
