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 n tn You would have to quit taking the methadone for 24 - 48 hours to probably get any use from the percocet. The methadone should help for some pain relief.
Avatar m tn I am switching from 30 mg methadone daily to 40 mg percocet. I was told percocet won't have any affect until being off of methadone 3-5 days. Is this correct?
537731 tn?1268265286 She said I will always have to go up in dosage on Percocet and with Methadone I wouildnt and that the difference between sub and methadone is sub blocks opiates and doesnt help with pain but methadone was. I have been on the same dosage of perc for years and they dont work as much as they use to. I was just worried about getting my prescription filled period I wasn't going to bring up I am taking more and they dont work the same I am still in pain taking them.
Avatar f tn If I took one. 5 mg. percocet on 9/8 and did a drug screening at work on 9/21 and it came back positive is this possible? I also did another instant urine on 9/23 and that came back negative. Can the drug company be wrong? Which results are right. Also took Ibeprophen 500 & amoxacillan on 9/11. Someone please give me some good news my job of 18 yrs. depends on it.
Avatar m tn dont know what kind of pain you have but the methadone has more severe and much longer detox than the percocet withdrawal. many,many times the pain gets much worse the longer you are on pain pills. it is rebound pain. it is usually advisable to be off all pain meds for about a month to re-evaluate the pain. once you are on the methadone it is very hard to get off of it.
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.
Avatar f tn I'n on methadone and took 1 percocet for pain for a tooth ache on 7/8 and went to a dentist on 7/9 and given Ibeprophen 500 and amoxacillan. Would the percocet still show up in a urine on 7/21? My job depends on it.
Avatar f tn I recently went in for my refill at the pain clinic and tested positive for percocet and honestly have not taken it in over 2 weeks and it was prescribed before the pain clinic. I told my PM Dr this and she said it cold be a false positive so is sending it into the lab and if it comes back I had percocet in my system, I will be discharged, and It has me mad!! She does not believe me because of the prior thing with my regular Dr. but I am not Dr.
396099 tn?1216254986 Hi, I was on welbutrin 150XL 1xper-day,I have anziety/panic,also im on methadone,40mgs for oxycontin and percocet issues.I found the welbutrin was problematic as if may of helped with depression,but increased aggitation,anziety,etc.I stopped the welbutrin and felt way better 2-5 days latter.The methadone i have never found to cause ant adverse reactions.I no longer double doctor and buy oxycontin and worry about running out.In my opinion the benefits are worth the risk.
Avatar f tn d take all the methadone at one time n never really took my Percocet, traded off for more methadone and was up to 50 or 60 mgs for the last ,5 yrs. Do I hAve bin using or abusing opiates for 16 yrs, no real clean time. Today is my 4th day no methadone but 3rd day with nothing.
Avatar f tn The only way I could figure out how to join ya'll is to post a question...I became addicted at age 42 to a prescription of percocet (shockingly. Never a drinker, partier, nada) and admitted myself to an inpatient facility that worked wonders in 2005.. Became very involved in N/A, stayed clean but relapsed a year and a half ago so was advised to try a methadone clinic.. I was detoxed on methadone for the first three days of treatment and no dt's!..
Avatar m tn I have a friend who just found out she is pregnant and shes addicted to percocet 30's. She asked her doctor what to do and they said quitting will hurt the baby since it will put too much stress on her body. They are having her go to get the methedone done though since even though it is not safe during pregnancy it is safer than taking the pills. The doctor is also cautioning her that there is a very increased chance of birth defects. I would contact your doctor and see what they think.
Avatar f tn Ok.......many years ago I had an Oxy addiction. Successfully came off with methadone and successfully tapered off methadone as well and had been clean for around 10 years. Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. I had pretty major surgery and was prescribed Percocet 7.5/325 (60). In about 3 weeks I've been through 210 7.5s. I'd take more than recommend dosage for the first few days of the script and then taper myself down to about 4 a day. I'd refill and do the same again.
199177 tn?1490498534 you got MMT methadone treatment program, that wuld be for more severe addictions not for hydrocodone,vicodin, percocet addictions, more severe like heavy amounts of H or oxycontins, dilaudid, the super potent opioids, then you have suboxone(buprenorphine 8mgs and 2mgs Naloxone tablets) and Subutex(buprenorphine) treatment which will work for any severity of addiction, it works the best as far as success reates go for addictions to vicodin, percocet, oxycotnin, and not super heavy addictions, but
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 n tn I have recently taken my self off the prescription narcotic fentanyl and percocet. I was on for over 10 years. It is going on three weeks since I have been off the medicine. Now I have excessive mucous buildup in my nasal cavity going towards my throat my mouth constantly fills up with mucous and saliva. I go throug 3 - 4 rolls of paper towels per day just to catch it. Is this part of the withdrawl. I know that narcoctics tend to bind the fluids in you body.
Avatar f tn If your doctor and OBGYN knows about the methadone, they would be checking to see what levels are in the baby, and to make sure the baby is OK and what special care if any it needs. This is a good thing. The only reason that I would be concerned is if I was taking something that the doctors are not aware of, or if I was taking a different dose of the methadone than I was prescribed. Honestly, what surprises me is that they had to get your permission to test the baby.
Avatar f tn t work so someone offered me a percocet big mistake, i got addicted to the percocet and started taking about 14 to 16 a day this was the course i was on for about 4 months, i was so addicted that just recently i admitted myself to a methadone program and i am feeling major guilt.
Avatar m tn Good morning people. I am about to have surgery on my foot Tuesday and am scared nothing will work for pain as I am currently taking 60 milligrams of Methadone daily for maintenance. He was going to prescribe me Percocet but am also afraid he will not give me anything because I'm on a program. If he does, will Percocet even work? What would be a good dosage for me? Can anyone help me here? I truly appreciate your time. Thanks a bunch!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn can taking methadone and percocet togeather cause overdose wich can lead to a stroke? If your addicted to percocet coming off of them can it make you really angry at anyone tring to help you get off them? can taking to much percocet mixed with methodone and xanix make you very disfunctional slured speech and come in and out while in a conversation and fall asleep all the time?
Avatar n tn methadone is a much harsher detox then the percocet, i kicked a 240mg methadone habit in 2004, the 3rd week was terrible i cannot suggest that you take 40percs a day, i do believe in using percocet as a detox comfort med during methadone wd, but you are taking too much, cut it down to 12 pills a day, if you are serious about getting clean, i can help you with a taper plan, i am too tired tonight to do the calculations if you continue to take 40percs a day, you will just trade one habit for anoth
Avatar m tn I have a friend who is on methadone and he is ALWAYS upping and downing his dosage and it seems like he is ALWAYS feeling like ****.. I have been on 50mg for about a year and a half and WOULDN'T go up because I knew the higher I went the harder I figured it would be.. Im not grossly out of shape, I just am about 10 pounds overweight and dont feel myself..
18882314 tn?1469241442 plus started on percocet 4 years ago with the methadone. So, I had to scramble like crazy for a new pain doc. He had nobody else to replace him. This was so sudden. Anyway, this new Pain Doc I don't like at all that he is like a chop shop for bodies, he loves for you to go under his knife, and I see these people walking in like their whole body has fallen apart from all of the operations they have had from him.
