Avatar m tn IM A little confused are you using methamphetamine or methadone....its not uncommon to gain weight on methadone not much you can do about it till your ready to quit I lost 70 lb when I went off it 15yr is a long time but we had a guy that was addicted 17yr do it and a girl who had 12yr on it...
Avatar f tn After reading this I went back and read your other post. When you talk about Meth are your referring to Methamphetamine or Methadone? Because the "voices" you hear and the turning off of the light so no one can see you seems like you would be talking about methamphetamine. If that's so, you may want to seek professional help. I grew up with many friends on methamphetamine who started hearing voices while on meth and they continued even after quitting.
Avatar n tn Thanks Cathy it methamphetamine is that different than methadone? trying to educate myself on his drug use...

Avatar f tn Normally when someone takes Methadone they nod off and my experience with Xanax is it can make you forgetful and sleepwalk and fall asleep wake up the next day not even knowing you had slept. Hope this helps...
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.
Avatar f tn I am on methadone maintenance program and get tested monthly. I honestly have never done amphetamines. Only thing I have done is smoke a little weed. I have checked all websites for possibilities as to why this could occur and I have not taken any of the meds that can cause a false. I am really baffled as to why I tested positive for amphetamines when I've never taken them or any cold meds that could test positive for it. Anyone know why this could occur??
Avatar n tn After threatening to throw them out of the condo and cut off all funds, they told me they had quit. They slept for days and were very depressed. Now everyone is happy again - my son actually acts euphoric. However, he has not looked for a job yet. The girl says she is pregnant. I am going crazy. I cannot continue to support them and my son knows this.
Avatar m tn Please note that the PK profile of methamphetamine was based on the available prescription strength methamphetamine, which is a pure form of methamphetamine that is produced in a safe, sterile and regulated environment. Prescription methamphetamine would not contain additional additives and adulterants that crystal methamphetamine may possess. For more information about prescription methamphetamine, please refer to its product labeling.
2125174 tn?1339238689 Due to its high potential for abuse, methamphetamine is classified as a Schedule II drug and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled. Although methamphetamine can be prescribed by a doctor, its medical uses are limited, and the doses that are prescribed are much lower than those typically abused.
Avatar m tn I am a heavy daily user of Methamphetamine (MA) and I want to stop using. A few years ago I found that an injection of Flumazenil (2mg), once daily over a period of two days, helped remove my withdrawal symptoms entirely. I was able to stay clean for 8 months and still manage all of my responsibilities (i.e. keep my job). I have since relapsed and I am currently using >1gram of MA a day.
Avatar n tn [1] URINE The detection windows depend upon multiple factors – drug class,amount and frequency of use, metabolic rate, body mass, age, overall health, and urine pH. For ease of use, the detection times of metabolites have been incorporated into each parent drug. For example, heroin and cocaine can only be detected for a few hours after use, but their metabolites can be detected for several days in urine.
Avatar n tn This friend has previously been an occasional user of methamphetamine, and has not smoked since since the accident. He wants to do it once, but is trying to find out what the effects are (if any) of methamphetamine on healing bones. Any information you can share would be helpful. Cheers!
Avatar n tn Ye of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues reported on a laboratory study looking at whether methamphetamine inhibits innate immunity in host cells, thereby facilitating HCV replication in human hepatocytes (liver cells). Results • Methamphetamine inhibited natural intracellular interferon alpha expression in human hepatocytes, which was associated with increased HCV replication.
Avatar n tn ive been clean for a year of methadone, but my so called friends back in the day would shoot dope, one of them had a absess. You need antibiotics for the first two or three days and a hot warmer and place it on the abscess as much as possible. Shooting dope in the neck is extremely dangerous.
Avatar m tn i am not prescribed methamphetamine. while yes methamphetamine is highly addictive and highly abused. IT CAN BE PRESCRIBED FOR ADHD AND WEIGHTLOSS. Meth is a schedule 2 drug which means that it has a HIGH POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE but HAS MEDICAL USES. I dont believe it is used much at all but it is out there under the brand name of DESOXYN. i was curious if anyone out there was taking it. cocaine is schedule 2 as well. They can be prescribed.
Avatar f tn I know amphetamine is the metabolite of methamphetamine, when you ingest meth, you have both methamphetamine and amphetamine in your urine, hair, or nails. I am about to lose my children over this and I swear I am not a user of methamphetamine. I know meth can be transferred through skin contact, is it possible contact with my husband after he uses such as laying with him, touching his clothes, kissing him, etc can make me fail the sensitive drug tests??
Avatar f tn I am not familiar about with tics, but I can say that Adderall is amphetamine and is a cousin of methamphetamine whereas Desoxyn is methamphetamine. Maybe this is a drug that you could research thoroughly and might help him out. Best of luck with your son and his and your families recovery.

Whatever she does should be done under the care and advisement of her OB but here is some helpful info below that you can present at a dr visit. Standard Protocol When a pregnant woman wants to detoxify from opiates or other opioids, the recognized standard of care, according to the National Health Institute, is methadone treatment while under a doctor's supervision.
