Avatar m tn as for the other no you most likely are not going to feel any other drug while on methadone it extremely dangerous and can lead to death as can mixing it with alcohol it kind of like playing russian roulette .You are abusing the methadone are you planing on taking it forever or do you want to get clean ?
Avatar n tn If these are the levels six to eight hours after ingesting, how much (approximately) would have been originally been ingested (40 mg, 80 mg, 240 mg etc)? Also,how would the other drugs interact with methodone at this level and the original level (approx). To my untrained eye, these levels look relativley small. Also, is there a way to tell (by examination or labs done by a physician) of someone is a recreational user of any of the above drugs vs addiction or long time user?

Avatar f tn Buprenorphine (Subutex) and methadone are both potent, long-acting narcotics. Suboxone is buprenorphine with naloxone; the naloxone being added to prevent injection abuse. These drugs don't deliver the same euphoria as typical drugs of abuse, and because they are long-acting the patient doesn't go through the usual ups and downs of constantly fighting withdrawal. It's just a tool to stabilize the brain chemistry long enough for the patient to get her life stable as well.
205111 tn?1224639754 if you take methadone how long after stopping before any other kind of opiate will work? i've been off methadone for about a week and i found a perc 10 last night and took it. i know i should not have done that but im an addict and i could not help myself. i thought methadone made it so no other opiates would work but i swear i think i felt better after i took it. was it all in my head or did it really help?
Avatar f tn As with heroin and all other opiates, methadone tolerance and methadone dependence usually develop with repeated doses. Tolerance to Methadone administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks of use; whereas respiratory depression, sedation, and nausea can be seen immediately.
Avatar m tn if I were you I would tell the clinic you want off it asap you can taper off it to minumise your withdrawals but you cant avoid them if you taper slowly they will be managable I got a formula from a neo/natal nurse that brings babys off heroin ,methadone ext and I used it and it worked well for me..
Avatar m tn , I dont use drugs and this was not somthing I normally do so I took methadone to stop me taking heroin again. I am terrified they will take my children. I hope someone can help.
216046 tn?1193943404 g zopiclone, zolpiderm etc, lastly check out methadone interactions with other drugs , e.g citalopram , quetiapine etc with methadone may cause prolonged QTc which is dangerous and may be fatal.
1345272 tn?1276400328 I am currently on methadone and have been for about a year now, and i am dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression. I have been on celexa for about 7 years and the doctor decided that i have become immune to it, so he is putting me on wellburtin. I haven't tried it yet because i havent heard good things so far and am a little worried. I'm also concerned about side effects from taking the two drugs together even though the doctor said it wouldn't be a problem.
714288 tn?1243254191 lol Maybe someone else can tell you their experience on cymbalta without the methadone and you can improvise accordingly. good luck http://www.cymbaltawithdrawal.
1170294 tn?1263316807 Alprazolam (Xanax) and methadone are highly addictive narcotics, both physically and psychologically. These two drugs should never be 'mixed' or even taken relatively close to one another unless the reaction is literally being monitired by a doctor and/or medical staff. I am an addict and I know from experience how dangerous this combination can be, trust me; you're playing with fire.
Avatar f tn I want to take the Hydrocodone until the Methadone is in my system and working. I am in a lot of pain and don't want to have pain while I wait on the Methadone to kick in. Also, after reading all of your emails regarding Methadone addiction, etc. I am scared to death to take this medicine. What if she takes me off of Methadone for some reason and all of a sudden, I am a Methadone addict? Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn I am currently pregnant and on 120 mgs of methadone....I dont use any other drugs at all. My boyfriend wants me to have an abortion because he thinks the baby will be deformed or slow and have problems or that childrens aid will take the baby immediatly is he right? I really dont want to have an abortion but want to come off of methadone before I give birth. What do you recommend?
408795 tn?1324935675 My point is it is defiantly likely not to have you trapped on it for life cause I am living proof that you can get off it you just have to want to not trade one thing for the other. I def feel like opiates had a way more hold on me than Methadone, and the Methadon helped save my life. That is till I found out I had Hep C, but I am fighting it with everything I got and am winning cause I have no side effects so far from Tx. God Bless and good luck with the Methadone!!
Avatar f tn I really hope this will help!
486507 tn?1237242081 ) anyways I was very honest about the methadone addiction and that i was 9 days clean and finally getting back to normal. He prescr. percs 5/325 40 pills. I told him i did not want any kind of setback as i cant go through the wd's again. He said they they were 2 different types of drugs and would not put me in harms way and loosing the hard work of the last 9 days. For some reason I just dont believe him. Im hurting but scared to do this. what do you guys and gals think?
Avatar f tn Being on this, wilI have any complications for the surgery? I know that when I am taking methadone, it does not let me feel any other drugs, well at least not all of it. Will this complicate the procedure? Will I be ok when I take the anesthesia?

222369 tn?1274474635 I've seen a lot of people lately taking drugs to get off drugs. It runs the gambit from simple muscle relaxers and anti-seizure medications such as Neurontin, to much more troubling medications such as Z-drugs (Ambien and Lunesta), benzos, and even marijuana or alcohol. It's a very understandable thought process that makes us seek anything that will help us get through the perceived horrors of withdrawal.
Avatar m tn She should have stayed on the methadone and let the Percocet go. 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.
Avatar m tn These 3 used to be how I started my mornings for many years but unfortunatly for me and most other methadonians, There are other get high drugs involved as well.
