methadose

Avatar n tn i've seen a hundred times that mixing those two is very dangerous. i'm no doctor, but i myself take methadone and once i took a valium, i've never felt sicker!! i do believe it is very dangerous. . .
Avatar f tn I was prescribed to methadone with my youngest daughter. She is now a very healthy, happy, and smart 2 year old. I took about 40mg a day the entire pregnancy and she didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms. However, I miscarried a couple of months before I got pregnant with her due to stopping my methadone. I was seeing an oncologist who prescribes the methadone and he had never had a pregnant patient before and wouldn't give me refill And the ob couldn't get me in soon enough.
Avatar n tn Can anyone let me know if Rozerem 8mg (RX sleep aid) and Prozac 20 mg (antidepressant) are safe to take with methadone (15mg daily) I am detoxing after 15 years on MMT and have slowly "tapered" my dose from 60mg daily to 15mg daily. I am having some insomnia & depression/antiety issues related to my husband being on the waiting list for a liver transplant. Just want to make sure i'm not gonna "croak" if I take the other meds.
Avatar n tn I was wondering the same thing about coming off methadone and prescribed 3mg/day of Clonazepam/Klonopin, which I take as needed. But when I take it as needed sometimes it ends up being more than 1 pill. I have been tapering off methadone off and on for years. At least the illegal drug use is gone and I really have no desire to use heroin anymore, which I thought would never happen. I thought I'd deal with that craving forever.

Avatar f tn ve been on pain meds for 2 years. But on Methadone for about 8-9 months. My finace gave them to me and got me addicted. I've never been addicted before. Now I'm finding out that Methadone is the hardest to come off of. I used every day, weaned down to 40 mg a day. Had to have that just to function. Then he kicked me out, no place to go, and addicted. I'm staying with my daughter right now and I'm scared. I feel so bad. I just talked with someone who said i've got 6-8 weeks.
1001742 tn?1252685847 Hi, If you read the first response at the top you will see that KiaKaha wrote that it's ok to take methadone and Cipralex together. I'm so glad I came on this website cuz I also didn't know if it was ok cuz ONE of my doctor's said that you CAN'T(my methadone doctor)take it and my family doctor said that you CAN!! So, I was confused as well but they came to an agreement together that I just stay on both the methadone and the cipralex.
Avatar n tn I am on day 9 -- and ... still experiencing sadness (depression). I am on prozac and have been for years. I do not remember the sadness piece lasting this long before, it is awful. Is it normal?
Avatar m tn And you may have something there - you wouldnt be the first person to get off methadone by getting back on an opiate and then quiting.......methadone is a bear! Some research that I came across indicated that the rfesearchers couldnt tell much of a difference from quiting 30mg of methadone or 3mg - keep your nutrition up - the AminoAcidProtocol is very good. It even helps the "brain fog" that comes around.
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.
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.
Avatar f tn When I was taking Prozac I didnt gain weight.Paxcel made me gain some though.
Avatar n tn I am able to live with my attacks (which can get really bad at times) and I actually have a fear of taking meds. I think the only thing I will take is a child's dose of tylenol only when I have a fever or migrane. I have discovered that taking Vitamin B Complex capsules have helped reduce my stress and anxiety levels. Also, I still love taking Flinstone vitamins, on top of the vit B complex. I feel great when I don't miss out in taking one a day.
Avatar f tn Hi im 23wks pregnant and im half way through an 8 wk detox off methadone. I changed ova suboxone and im now nearly at the end only ive been reading that i shouldn't even be on this as they dont no the risks while ur pregnant. The other thing is i haven't even told my worker as im so scared that they will get in touch with the cps as they have already taken my other kids off me due to a nasty realtionship.
Avatar f tn The Dr said this would go away once the prozac fully kicked in , but its been a month and nothing. I know the prozac is helping but i have ups and downs all day. If I sit at home by myself for an hr or two i will feel depression and or anxiety. I guess my question is..... do you think that I should request a higher mg of prozac (20) or keep giving the 10mg pills a try? I hate having to try so hard to not feel depressed.
Avatar f tn Hi i'm on Prozac and trazodone if you start on a low dose of trazodone it shouldn't be an issue and there really is no interaction with trazodone and Prozac because I've been on trazodone and Prozac for years and I've never had a problem you just have to take it like maybe you're better off just taking half a tablet or something
Avatar f tn First of all, you shouldn't just stop taking antidepressants without discussing it with your doctor. Fortunately, you weren't on the Prozac long enough and you were at a very low dose, so you didn't experience the nasty effects of going cold turkey off these types of meds. Prozac can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to reach "steady state" in your body. That is the point at which it will begin to help you.
Avatar n tn I am a BIG WUSS when it comes to PAIN, and I have to do this for a YEAR, WOW. realistically, I will need something to intercept the PAIN and make it manageable. I plan on WORKING, too, while on it, unless its just TOO painful and I constantly need to be at home during the treatment, my doctor is NOT very easy to understand, he is a foreigner, LOL. SO, please tell me, whether it be METHODONE, CODEINE, VICODIN, street drugs, etc.
Avatar f tn I have been on and off prozac for 4 years and i now am experiencing heartburn. I take 20mg at night because it makes me dizzy but i dont get the heartburn until the afternoon the next day. I was wondering is it safe to take ranitidine 150mg effervescent? I took it all the time when needed before being back on prozac and it works i was wondering does it cause any side affect?
Avatar f tn Has any one here been on antidepressants while on methadone? Alot of drugs for fibro and arthritis are blocked by the methadone, so I am hoping the antidepressants could do their job while I treat for hep c. I am on 120 MG at this time, coming down from 160 in a year. Feedback welcome!
Avatar f tn Hi Elaine, Hi Elaine, I posted in the other forum (pregnancy) about being put on prozac 10 mg. I have taken your great advice and am doing yoga and breathing exercises to deal with my mild anxiety instead. But heres my question to put my mind at ease. I took the prozac at 28 weeks for about a week. It wasnt right for me and I was too worried I was doing harm to the baby. After my 3 miscarriages last year I am always worried now.
