Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and hallucinations
methadose
Hi, I need some help my sister has gone cold turkey after 3 years at high dose of methadone. She was at 150 and dropped to 90 then cold turkey. It has been 10 days and the hallucinations are getting really out of control. She has been checked in to the hospital because the methadone has done extreme damage to her liver and they are very worried about that. But are not doing anything to help with the methadone wihdrawls.
what are the symptoms of methadone withdrawals? Do they include hallucinations? Hearing voices? Restless legs and arms I get, but what about the other? Help my son is really suffering!
He has been taking hydroxyzine pam for the tremors. He took amitriptyline and the hallucinations started. IT is going on 24 hours with no sleep for 2 to 3 days. I need help.
hello everyone im on day two and dont feel god awful but have felt better i started the aminos and viats a week before i stopped at 10mgs methadone ive been up almost all day and even yesterday even though i had to make myself i figured it had to be better than laying around ive even made myself walk about a mile as well i know methadone stays in your system a lot longer but i would like to have an idea when i can look forward to feeling really bad!
Also, about your other question, I think it's because methadone has such a long half-life and it's the only drug that stays in your fat cells, muscle tissue, things like that. Most drugs are processed through the liver and then taken out of the body the natural way. Any addictive medication is going to stick around somewhere but for some reason methadone binds to anything and builds up and builds up. That's the best way I could interpret what my psychiatrist told me.
I can understand how you must feel as my husband was on methadone and began to go psychotic. He is now off methadone as he could not control the hallucinations and dreams that he got from it. I do not have an answer for you, only my sympathy. The lamictal is used as a mood stabilizer and should help keep you from going manic.Maybe ILAD can give you the name of a pharmopsychologist to talk to you and help you. You are indeed in no mans land.
Methadone is the hardest drug to quit Ive ever come across, and with her high dosage and depending on how long shes been on methadone the withdrawls are very hard to cope with. Its very likely you could hear voices and hallucinations when abruptly stopped at her levels, I hope she is getting some good care at the health facility. Ive never been through that process, and I know alot of states, counties are different in how they deal with methadone(opiod)dependence when they are arrested.
Recently she has been experiencing panic-type attacks and possible hallucinations. The doc says her Synthroid levels are not too high--that was her first thought--but I wonder. Has anyone else experienced hallucinations due to hormone imbalance?
my husband is on methadone and his NP recommended klonopin for the hallucinations that he has at night so I know this is normal for methadone. As for the tril., I don't think it'a a CNS depressant. I have been on Tegretal and it does not affect you that way. I think you are ok and can take your Dr's word as well as the pharmacist's word that you will be ok.

1. I take Abilify and Depakote, and sometimes psychoactive drugs have strange, rare side effects.
2. I am a kidney dialysis patient, and the Web tells me a very uncommon condition called dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, experienced during or after the treatments, can involve confusion, cognitive problems, or -- you guessed it -- hallucinations.
I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts from readers.
health anxiety but stress and my nana just passed away on Friday from liver cancer but before she did she kept seeing things little bugs crawling on her and the doctors said it was hallucinations because she was dying.
my father is 74, highly diabetic, he fell and broke his left hip about 3 years back, a month back he fell again and broke his right hip-bone and right shoulder. He is home after the surgery but very weak and totally bedridden. He on and off speaks non-sanely....but as evening falls, he starts to hallucinate that he has fallen and is lying out in the open or on the terrace of the house and keeps asking to be carried in and gets quite irritated that no one is bringing him in....

I am learning so much about bipolar and I have found that I have, in fact, been having mild hallucinations my whole life. I have not talked a lot to anyone about it in my family or any of my friends. I'm afraid they will think I'm super crazy and reject me or not let me around their kids because they think I'm dangerous. I just want some insight about how to approach the subject. I really want my loved ones to understand what I'm going through.
