472139 tn?1211332563 When i first started taking methadone i felt a euphoric feeling for the first week in the form of alot of energy and happiness because i thought i was helping myself..however that didn;t last long and then i was tired all the time after..
Avatar n tn Most of the time depending on what mg your on of methadone it has a blocker so to speak not really cant think of another word that you never really feel you lortab when on methadone. I am on methadone an have been for 2 yrs now and when I first started methadone I ws still taking lortabs etc and I couldn't feel them unless I took a bunch like 15 or 20. Why did your doc want you to go on methadone w/lortab? Do you get it from a pcp doc> If you have any questions feel free message me.
Avatar m tn How long after a single dose of 20 mg of methadone will i be able to feel the euphoria from oxycodone? I would rly appreciate a truthful answer.
484568 tn?1208557738 Methadone is synthetic herion, and it's long acting, and very easy to over dose on, because you don't think you feel it. I suggest you send it back and get something else, it's the worst withdrawal ever. If you keep it don't play with it and take it as directed. It's been 2 weeks since my last one and i'm still feeling it.
415399 tn?1209504302 it is not methadone lite...it is in no way similar to methadone at all, except half life... How does Buprenorphine work in the brain? Opioids attach to receptors in the brain, with three main effects; reduced respiration, euphoria, decreased pain. The more opioids ingested the more of an effect. The process of opioids binding to the opioid receptors can be thought of as a mechanical union, the better the fit the more the opioid effect. Buprenorphine is different.
575762 tn?1223092762 I would like to just start taking the 30mg ocycodone and taper from there instead of the methadone which i am almost almost out of. Any ideas? I do not want it to block my feelings of euphoria once i take it again, thats the only thing i look forward to when i am in this much back pain. Its a plus anyway, if i have to have this much pain is what i mean, sorry.
Avatar m tn I am currently taking a dose of 10 mg every morning at 9am and that gets me through the day feeling very normally and happily. I will be still dropping as I havent reached my level with out euphoria. I have read and read and read peoples posts but no one seems to be in my situation; and I am referring about the significantly low dosage part of it.
Avatar f tn t do my job, because of the pain of lupus and back problems, so I could not afford it anymore. I was offered Methadone, and I was of course weary because it has a stigma attached to it, and that it is only heroin addicts that use it, but after getting over it, it turns out to work even better then the Oxy. Ok, not to the point of this post, different types of medicine has a different way of working; as you know.
717440 tn?1292743742 the only ones that i did were oxy,s 80 mgs for 2 monthes..and there sister perks..1 yr..the ox,s can be bad to not like methadone though..i never did opiates for the buzz..but i did get euphoria and didnt know what it was..it was ok though..but when i got it its when my pain was gone!! so it heloped me..but after all we go threw with these drugs..theres got to be a stopping point..if you dont you keep going deeper into torrent's thats when it gets bad..
Avatar n tn i couldnt exactly tell if it was methadone youare on for pain or other painkillers, but assuming its methadone you are on for pain its definitely going to be hard to get off of, it is a very effective pain killer and long alsting, and prduces less of a rush or euphoria than heroin and toehr strong opiates, but it is very addicting and can be lethal.- i am on it for a bad addiction to heroin and oxycontin(snorted) and its a great treatment option for me, but its def. addicting too.
Avatar n tn I am clean out of methadone now and I have responsibilities i need to take care of and can not afford to be sick now let alone even sicker later. After my last DAILY dose of methadone, 30 mg, when can I take my first dose of subUTEX? is it any different than suboxone if it is not abused?? thank you for your help! PS.
401095 tn?1351391770 I realized that...being on hydro which is really not a powerhouse when it comes to the family of narcotics...for me to continue with my tolence i would have fried my liver trying to acheive euphoria and really think i was past hydros and needed to "move up" as u say....i do know had i started on oxycontin or went to the patch...or i guess i could have started mainlining heroin...number one those drugs are not easily available and i was going broke just keeping up with my lortab habit..
Avatar f tn Morphine is preferred for the treatment of COPD because a doctor can better control its effect on breathing, however, both morphine and methadone work in similar ways -- it is just that methadone suppresses the breathing longer. At end of life, it doesn't matter much which medication you use. If your husband had an allergy to morphine, then methadone is definitely the proper medication to give. Death is not often a pleasant experience, especially death from lung cancer.
445698 tn?1208618507 if you are an addict, suboxone is the better choice hands down. methadone is a severe and dangerous drug in my eyes, and i am lucky to be here now, ALIVE AND BREATHING... suboxone is a partial agonist, which means it only attatches to certain portions of your receptors, meaning it helps curb WD's, cravings and stops all addictive behavior, without any of the euphoric benefits.
Avatar f tn It is a good fit. I ended up in a psych ward for 3 days because I ate a bottle of Prozac and everything else made me feel dead inside. I remember wanting to cry and my eyes actually hurting from trying and I couldn't. It sucked and I hate that people have to go through these feelings By the way, we are neighbors. I'm in Surfside!
Avatar n tn I took the tabs and vics for pain and then the euphoria. Since Friday at about 6 I have not taken anything since. I feel fine with a little lack of motivation and energy. I have cravings and boredome but I figured this symptons will be around for a while to come. I will say that the very fast weak mg taper method I did with methadone either worked wonderfully or I was barely addicted. I was taking 40mg of codone a day for about 9-12 months in 5mg doses.
Avatar m tn going on methadone or suboxone does not make you a weak person, just making the choice to get help and quit is a hard decision to make, hell just admitting that you have a problem makes you stronger, when done right and under the supervision of a doctor and working the program to get clean methadone and suboxone can and have been a lifesaver. don't let peoples negative judgments affect your decision to at least check it out.
Avatar f tn How long were you on methadone and how much did you taper and did you taper down to 0 mgs? thanks for the answers and support.
Avatar f tn 10 yrs of my addiction at that level and I never took more than 100mgs of methadone and I was fine. I never felt any euphoria after the first few days of starting methadone and really I don't think you should. Maybe a little slow taper would let u know if u could bring ur dose down and also see how the pain reacted now. As far as the weight gain, Oh do i know what u mean. Methadone is notorious for weight gain issues. I went from a US size 2 to a size 10.
Avatar f tn I know that methadone and even suboxone can be so very hard to get off bc of the half-life, how long it stays in your system. Trust me I know that ALL opiates are hard to stop but apparently the methadone wd's last a lot longer? Don't worry, this is not something I'm actually considering! Even if this was possible I would never do it bc I'm not naive, I know that if I take anything that gives me a feeling of euphoria I will chase that indefinitely.
Avatar m tn After that period, I ruptured a disc, and was put on hydrocodone off and on for a while. It was extremely painful, and honestly, I got no euphoria to speak of from the medicine. In October, 2011, I had surgery to remove the pulpous that ruptured. Of course, I was given post-op meds... Again, no real euphoria, and no desire to use anything stronger. In December of 2011, I broke down when a friend offered me 40mg Opana. I took some and was instantly hooked.
Avatar n tn Mr Lucky thats strange i actualy hated opiods when i used to take them prior to methadone, made me nausated etc etc, and well i never got no Euphoria of them, then i got hold of methadone, at first i hated that too then i vomited after that i felt euphoria much like a H addict would i hear after you vomit...and well months turned into years and here i am dependant on it.... btw i am still no wrapped in opiods, my Main DOC was benzo's alchol belive it or not....
1502361 tn?1290540230 HI and welcome to the forum......when you go on methadone its to get your life back methadone is not designed to give you a euphoria its designed to keep you from going into withdrawals.....as a substitute for the heroin when used with a proper aftercare program you can put your life back together build a foundation so when the time comes you can get off it and be narcotic free....please dont try to get high on methadone its dangerous if used that way....
Avatar m tn It is easier to get off Vicodin than ultram (aka tramadol) because tram is synthetic and contains an antidepressant. Like sub and methadone, also synthetic, the withdrawal is long and arduous. Vicodin is the weaker of the narcotic pain meds and detox, although not fun, is over relatively quick. 1 to 2 weeks tops. Tram w/d lasts for months.
