methadose

Avatar f tn I've been on Methadone 30mgs for 10 years. I was also on an antidepressant, Xanax, and Buspar. I also used Neurontin for chronic pain. I got fired from my pain management Dr. Because I continued to use the Xanax, after 3 warnings. Then my medical doc dismissed me from his care, saying I was a drug seeker. That was not true. I had called and asked for Xanax with refills, and Buspar. He saw those calls on my chart and jumped to conclusion. Also told me he doesn't prescribe pain meds.
Avatar f tn I'm not sure if it does..I just wanted to say to be careful I'm 9days off a 2yr methadone stint and I was thinking about anything and everything to help the wd's.. I went to the emergency room not for wds but while I was there I asked about suboxone and the e.r doc.. looked at me n ssaid I can't run away from wds no matter what I do methadone. .suboxone..xanax..I'm gonna feel it no matter what..
1412606 tn?1282882129 my husband goes to the methadone clinic, and tells me that there are several pregnant women that go there. he spoke to one about it, as he was curious about why they were there, and was told that methadone is the preferred pain management medication during pregnancy if abstinence cannot be practiced. you may want to get a professional opinion on that....hope this was helpful!
9704730 tn?1405741284 I ended up getting a good buddy on here that was taking LOTS of trams in one day. Both Trams and Methadone are very synthetic and they do not like to let go. They take a lot longer then the other meds to get out of your system and for your Brain to balance back. Trams also have a AD med in it that makes you really whacked out after you stop. I woulds try to get some Clonidine..It is a light BP med that they use these days. I could only take it at night and only for about a few months.
Avatar f tn t take the withdrawals away completly but it did help so much.. i was able to get up and around after 2 days and eating , and it keeps the anxiety down.. just my own opinion ..

As far as the Neurontin dizziness, drowsiness, unsteadiness, memory loss, lack of coordination, difficulty speaking, viral infections, tremors, double vision, fever, unusual eye movements, and jerky movements.

Avatar m tn hey all i'm a week into a methadone rattle and just wondering if its pos for me to be having the energy crash all ready, i have started feeling okish but no energy to owt. the days before i was ok to walk around but today i just ned to lay down, should i do this or should i just get up and do summat.
Avatar m tn currently on 4 diabetes meds, oxycontin,neurontin, BP and cholesterol meds . all of which they know about and have documented. After i tested positive i was in shock and was looked at as scum9 even though i've been there for 3 years with NO PRIOR PROBLEMS. I seriously have no idea what happened. she stated that they were going to send it to the lab to get further checked out. In the mean time she gave me the usual meds for 10 days as opposed to the usual 30 days.
Avatar n tn I took 1/8 of the docs recommended initial dosage of methadone and decided it was just too intense for me. I've tried neurontin and all the other non-narcotic meds for neurogenic pain but they only make things worse. At this point the only meds that help are ativan and, if things are really bad, vicodin, which I use very infrequently because I understand it can be as addictive as methadone.
Avatar f tn I have no energy and some chills and sleep issues. The last time I stopped I use neurontin as well, I made it 20 days and then relapsed because I felt like I still felt like crap and I was never going to feel "normal" again and I gave in. I of course regret that very much now. I am a single mom, work and go to school full time so I guess it's the no energy and depressed feeling during w/d that affects me most. I'm praying that I can do it this time.
Avatar m tn I ran out of my methadone lastnight and my doctor gave me a 13 count script for methadone and told me to wait until monday to fill my reg. script of 360 monthly. I love methadone for the chronic back pain it's the best thing in the world for chronic lower back pain but once you get on it , it is so hard to get off of it. I dont know why my doctor didnt put me on neurontin sooner it really does help the W/D alot.
Avatar f tn Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient from methadone or any other opiate and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates). At home, the basic technique is to space out the pills you take on a consistent manner until you take only one at night, than half at night, than every other night and then none.
Avatar f tn I have a new doc & she has put me on methadone, neurontin, robaxin and ibuprofen for pain. It has been three days and I am still in pain. I will call her Mon. to tell her. I would have hoped that I would be feelin some kind of relief by now! Hopefully she will change up some of these meds so I will have some relief soon.
Avatar n tn I am currently tapering from 30+ mg methadone and 20_ hydros a day using neurontin and a few hydros for pain. So far so good. Sub was simply too complex for me to deal with....

Avatar n tn I have been on methadone for 90 days, I take 100 mg every other day. How long and how server will my withdrawals be, if I go cold turkey and stop.
Avatar m tn I went in ICU for Pnunomia/ Flu, I've been on methadone for 6 yrs the Dr.s took me off ALL MY MEDS, & lowered my dose from 115 mg to 40 mg, now my clinic won't tell me if they will increase me or not I'm not looking to go to 115mg it's been a month and my withdrawal is WORSE! I can only think that the build up of methadone is coming out! How long can physical symptoms last?Should I switch to Suboxin I have chronic pain & fibermilga?
Avatar m tn How long did you have to stay on the neurontin to get through all the withdrawals and did you find your pain gone when you came off it? I have many issues with neurontin and can't be going anyplace if I take it, so it is not a good drug for a replacement for me pain medications. I had been on it for about 6 weeks (it did work for withdrawals) but when I stopped the pain was there in full force.
Avatar f tn I applaud your resolve to get clean, but want to caution you that methadone is a long acting narcotic and your withdrawal symptoms will stick around for quite a while. You will feel rotten for as long as four to six weeks. You may want to switch to something shorter acting, talk to your doctor about it, and taper off of that. There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves.
Avatar m tn I have a bottle of neurontin and trying to get off tramodal. If I was to try the neurontin to ease the withdrawls from the tram, how many should I take? The doc gave me neurontin for nerve pain in my hand but I don't think it works. I want off the tramadol and I know I'm gonna feel withdrawls but if I can curb some of the pain that would be great. But still I'm repeating the cycle. Replacing one drug with another. I want to go ct, but I'm so scared.
1474625 tn?1371097079 I think I may go visit my parents for a few weeks and bring a weeks worth of methadone and do it that way.If I am 6 hrs from drugs than I won't be able to slip up.
1591159 tn?1297195631 After moving to Florida I decided to change my life. I joined a Methadone clinic (as Suboxone and rehabs are thousands of dollars and my withdrawals were horrible). Two years later I am detoxing off of my methadone (medically supervised). Since I have become sober I am almost finished my Education degree, bought a new car, got an apartment, and work like crazy. Being clean will change your life, you will have more money, be healthier, regain any relationships (if you lost any).
1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
Avatar f tn Was thinking of Goin on methadone for only a little while long enough to save some money and go to detox. I would prefer to go cold turkey right now and get a naltrexone implant, but don't have money saved for rehab or my bills. What should I do? Will being on methadone make it harder it get off it in detox. Will it make it better to get on methadone for 4 months the go to detox? I've heard Goin off subs after years of being on it is really hard. I want a drug free life!
