methadone and vitamins

I am on a methadone maintenance program and would like to start taking vitadone supplements. is it safe while pregnant? i am almost 9 weeks pregnant. No bashing please... Thank You!

Hey everyone, today is the 7th day off methadone for me, and I have like THE WORSE aches ....like in my bones, it's not like the rls. It just totally feels like it's my bones in my lower back, hip bones and really deep in my knees. It hurt sooooo BAD last night I was crying! Have any of you had this? The rls has calmed down now...it's just the horrible aches that feel so deep in my bones.

Long term opiate use makes major changes in your brain chemistry and your body, you should be seeing and endocrinologist whilst on Methadone or any other Opiate taken in large doses for extended periods, at very least see one when going through dose reduction. Corticosteroids can also be of benefit sometimes depending on your symptoms and your specific case. I can't emphasize enough the importance of good knowledgeable specialists when undertaking this endeavor.

Hey everyone, Im on methadone now about 4 years and i have been feeling depressed and taking panic attacks as of late. My grandmother knows a drug called venlafaxine but dont know what it could do if im on methadone. I have seen other posts where people were on both drugs and said it worked great. I hope there is someone who could give advise.

Hello and welcome. Yes that is an extremely high dosage of methadone. Xanax and methadone are both respiratory And central nervous system depressants. They are very dangerous to take together. With that being said you need to start to taper off of both meds. A proper taper will take about a year. Are you seeing a counselor and attending support groups? There is freedom from the chains and bondage of addiction. Keep the faith.

My fiance and I are day#6 no methadone and feeling pretty well! We have detoxed from it on the street in the past and it was ruthless and debilitating...we know how he is suffering. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Continue to post, pm me if you have any questions.

Some of you know me I'm snowflake. I finally beat the methadone and I feel great. Lots of energy, everything is a little brighter and sharper now that I am sober. To be honest I'm still trying to get used to this new me. LOL. It takes some getting used to. I was always used to the methadone in my system. Its like a whole new me.....If I can do it other people can too. Like ive said before there is light at the end of the tunnel.

well iv been on methadone for 6 years and have gained 70 pounds the most I have ever weighed and yes the doctor told me that methadone takes the sugar out of your body and makes you crave sugar like crazy and that my friend is a addiction of its own and to battle both are a *****

re doing the Thomas recipe or something with all the vitamins and such and also he basically lives in a hot jet bath tub. I just want to know how long it'll last and if there's anything else I can do to help?

I became pregnant almost 2 years ago and quit every thing that year. My husband started going to a methadone clinic because he wanted to try and get clean but needed help. I thought they were going to give him a set mg and then wean him off. but that never happened. they kept increasing his dose and he became dependent on methadone. then he started getting take homes.. I started taking methadone as well. So i have been taking methadone for about 20 months and different mgs each week.

I went and got the restful legs , and the vitamins you mentioned. I just took them. Praying it works! Thank you for taking time out of your life to help a stranger and give me.hope.

This has been very upsetting for me losing so much hair , but I was told that hair loss is a side effect of methadone, not sure about other opiates. I am weaning off my methadone, down to 22mgs and I notice my hair is just starting to come back in. Has this happened to any of you?

Im on my 8th day with no Methadone after about 3 years i was at 4mg and stoped there, my symptoms of withdrawls are : weak, my stomach hurts, im tired, headaches,stomach pain,not eating,nausea, not drinking enough because of stomach, vomiting, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep,restlessness in my legs, lost of weight, is this part of the withdrawls ?

Your going to be ok.....I am on day 8 of 0mg methadone.....which i started because of my draining and evil addiction to oxy's for four yrs. I know exactly what your going through. I went two wks with nothing before I started the clinic. Oxy withdrawal's are NO WHERE NEAR METHADONE w/d. I am not a docotr and everyone's w/d's are different. Here are some things that will help though.

Eat alot of fresh veggies and fruit. Take plenty of vitamins and supplements. This may help. You have lost a dangerous amount of weight. Go to a different Doc. I have been on Methadone for 18 months am in day 5 of being clean. Good luck.

I dont think you can beat that you just have to go threw it you already to lat for the withdrawal vitamins no its time for the protein drinks go to walmart and pick up some whey protein shake mix its 15 bucks the chocolate flavor ant bad its full of ecential amino acids along with vitamins and the extra protein your going to need to heal your brain from the methadone you where on it 20yr wow well we had a guy...

And he has found the solution he explains what methadone does to the brain, about seretonin levels and dopamine levels and what kind of amino acids and vitamins and herbs that you have to put back in your body for it to fix itself.

Thank you so much for this post. I would really be interested in knowing what vitamins you used. I am currently on B1 and folic acid, but I've got a list going of others that I have heard be successful on this forum. Also if anyone who reads this has information on herbal therapy I'm very much interested. I have been on suboxone treatment for opiate abuse now for two months and have been clean from the pills I took (percocets, darvocets, xanax).

Does anyone know when this will get better I am on day 8 of coming off of methadone and loratab and i am just so tired and fatigued and have no energy. I feel like i am going crazy not being able to do anything.

So I was sent to a pain care center, you probably guessed this....So, they put me on methadone, and dilaudid...I eventually quit dilaudid as it did not help with pain...They switched me to oxycodone and uped methadone...OK, well it turns out I have one bad knee.I am scheduled to have knee replacement surgery on Novemeber 7th. I currently take 60 milligrams of oxycodone and thirty milligrams of methadone...

shes right it shouldnt last that long its just that when u get off methadone or opiates ur immune system isnt strong and u need to takes some vitamins so u can build it up, thats what my doc told me to do and it works so all u can do is try it. well i hope everything works for u and congrats on gettin off.

I have been on methadone for 5 months now and my life has taken a 180. I do not ever want to be like I was 5 months ago. I work and I am a great mother again and I am dependable and proud of myself. I dont cry everynight wishing God would just take me I am praying Thank you to God every day all day. I recomend it totaly.

everyones different. it was just the opposite for me. after getting off it, I suffered what all long term users do, and thats energy and motivation drop off. so not being as active has made me gain weight after quiting.....not a ton but about 10-15 lbs.

someone will post who has taken methadone...meanwhile stay strong and get as much exercise in as u can...certain vitamins and supps helps with the energy thing...

I went to walmart and got vitamins and fruits and everything. Even got a small appitite last night but threw up the apple i ate soon after. I want to take the vitamins to heal faster but my body wont allow me to put anything in it! I appreciate any advice....oh im coming off methadone as of Dec 27th.

I heard methadone can take longer. I just soaked in a bath with epsom salts and lavender oil and it really helped. Try to keep your brain focused on something like a cheesy movie or tv series and remember the only way out is through. Best wishes.

Hiya azaddict! Personally, I have been chasing to be clean for a loooong time, so over the last year I have sloooowly tapered from methadone. Because I have been on this forum, gaining knowledge, I had time to stock up & prepare. There is the Thomas Recipe, and where you found that, is the Amino Acid Protocol(bottom right of pg). I have everything on both, plus a few extras, stuff that isnt too hard to find & mostly all natural- Hylands Leg Cramps, Hylands Restless Legs...

Well if you bought it already then it cant hurt, its just a blend of many different vitamins and herbs.

Hi every-one. I wanted to post yesterday but it was the first day of really trying to kick the habit. I have been on Methadone for about 2 years. I am not at a high dose at all. Just enough to stay hooked. 10 mg a day. I am researching getting off all together. Is quitting cold turkey recommended? I am pretty scared to do that. I have heard all the urban legends. I just need a good plan.
