Avatar m tn I hate to tell you but I've never seen this Ca. methadone detoxes work before. Most methadone programs in Ca. have them but most go back to dope or stay on meth. I can give you a lot of advise on Methadone and it can help if used correctly.
Avatar f tn I recently moved from California to Atlanta, Ga. I have been on 100 mg. of methadone daily for 10 years for severe, constant , unbearable pain from interstitial cystitis. It has been a godsend and made my life bearable. I cannot find a doctor here who understands this is for pain and I am NOT an addict. Please help! if anyone knows a compassionate doctor in the Atlanta area who prescribes methadone. PLEASE let me know. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Methadone is a safe drug for people with liver disease We work directly with methadone patients and have never seen a problem with methadone exacerbating the disease or interfering with treatment drugs.

Avatar f tn So I'm still currently at the methadone clinic. Yes I know.. still. It *****. But I'm trying here. Anyways my best friend currently has an interview at the clinic I go to. I heard from Facebook and friends. What in the world do I do? I'm not wanting to tell this person I go there. It's just not an option. I need advice. Can I talk to my counselor about it? Maybe I ca. Go on days she's off? Ugh it's killing me thinking about it.
Avatar n tn Is there an alternative to going to the methadone clinic. I have a very dear friend that goes there and he is having some problems. For one he isn't sleeping and as of today he might lose his job. He fell asleep on lunch break and slept over by 13 minutes so they sent him home. If he loses his job he no longer can afford to go to the clinic, and that would mean he would have a greater chance of relapsing. Is there anything he can do that would help him sleep and keep him clean?
1720012 tn?1310045870 we have people on here who still keep going to the clinic and they clinic is giving them 1 or 2 mg it is a drop and the clinic convincing them to keep coming. it is a mind game. then you will be chained to the methadone clinic and that bottle. are you married?
Avatar f tn I cannot say, not having been involved in the care of your daughter when she died if it was the methadone or heart failure that caused it. Methadone can cause respiratory depression but also can prolong the qt interval which can cause sudden cardiac death. I can't tell these two apart without reviewing the medical record.

Avatar m tn Hopefully I will get something resolved,first by having my new DR., talk to the DR. at the methadone clinic, I am going down on my dose because I want to NOT because my liver dr. wants me to!!!!! I do believe the Dr. at the methadone clinic, is in my coner, he talked very highly about me to the Transplant cordinator. So I do have a advacate, besides my BEAUTIFUL wife of 35 years, in my corner!!! I will keep you updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn As far as conversion from liquid to pills you should be able to find some sort of conversion chart on line or you could try calling a methadone clinic or Dr. and ask..even if you need to call to a different state. I have in my journal a great article about methadone/withdrawal written by a dr. who was also an addict for 18 yrs. it has alot of info and some things you can do to help ease some of the w/d. Just reread your question..are you wanting to take liquid?---This is what I found online .
Avatar m tn I need help finding a free methadone clinic in tampa florida. My uncle is suicidal almost out of drugs freaking out that it is so near. He is currently using apprx 70 mg daily. I have been searching on line to find something and keep going in circles. Is there any govt. programs that you have heard of? He is currently jobless, broke and desperate. If you have any info please LMK.
Avatar m tn I have been on methadone for 8 months to help with my cronic back pain. My docotr now says he doesn't twant to manage long term pain medication for cronic pain and i will have to find a new clinic. I want rto find onwe in my area where I'm not treated like a criminal for being in pain.
Avatar f tn If you're taking 300 mg on your take home days, obviously you're going without methadone on some take home days b/c you're taking 2 of your take homes in 1 day. What are you doing on those days w/out methadone? If you're taking pills to substitute the methadone, then you're not allowing your brain time to heal from the obsessions and cravings as methadone treatment is meant to do.
3213101 tn?1397862545 He has been on 130 mg of methadone liquid from a clinic, also has been on 800mg 3 times away of gabapentin both of which he has been on for almost a year. I am worried he will have seizures or worse. The horrible thing is the judge knew of these meds. and could have sent him to a facility equipped to help him. I am really sick over this. There should be advocates for people in his situation.
Avatar f tn You all truly helped, pushed, and supported me to get this far. I know I have a long road to go, but for today I am great. My methadone clinic staff is awesome and full of support. I do not feel that they are trying to keep me there longer than I want or need to be there. My goal is to be totally sober by the end of July. That gives me PLENTY of time to taper down slowly. I am also looking into after care. I want to start going tro some NA meetings.
Avatar f tn Hi - I know you are humiliated to tell your dr but he has probably seen it all. Tell him that you are humiliated but your childs life comes first. He can advise you on the best way to withdraw without having a miscarriage. You don't want to give birth to another baby addicted to methadone do you? You have to know how painful that must be for the baby. Plus,, won't the dr know when the baby is born that there is an addiction? I would rather tell him now than later.
Avatar m tn Ok I have a plan to jump at 5 mgs on Monday I take methadone at a clinic here in the US My plan was to pay daily I used to pay for 2 weeks at a time. So this morning my number was on the stop dose list (Friday is payday) I try to give the nurse money for one day and was told They have me ona schedule (thier schedule) to take me down to very small doses. They would not dose me u till I came up with a payment for 7 days. I think that is not rite.
Avatar n tn Just try to keep in mind most of the time the methadone clinic is likly to be a step in the right direction. Has he at least started a taper? It is a slow process. Good luck.
546683 tn?1215024167 I doubt that they can actually tell you what brand that you are taking..and when I was in the methadone clinic i never had a false positive for any other opiate other than methadone.I did have a false negative for methadone??go figure..but they do so many urine tests that mix ups can easily occur. I would say you freaking out about it would make them more suspicious..relax..I doubt they will toss you..
Avatar m tn i am go to the methadone clinic but i keep testing dirty for benzos can they just stop doseing me or will they do it slowely. i feel like i need the xanex but i don't have the money to dr. shop i want off of methadone but i want to do it the right way . i have to work and i know i cant go through withdraws and work. i live in Haltom city tx. if any body knows a dr. that will help me please let me know. the clinic told me today i have a staff meeting on Friday what does thay mean.
Avatar n tn Both of these treatments are harm reduction or replacement therapy. I think methadone is better for longer periods of time and sub may be better for short detox but a lot of people would argue with me. I don't like sub for maintenece and it can be problamtic if someone has an emergency. Also it's not as good of a painkiller as methadone and doesn't satisfy a hard core addict as well as methadone. I feel that both drugs are overused and very addictive.
Avatar n tn I have been going to a new clinic for methadone and dose at 50mg but it is too high in a once a day dose the doc however tells me I nod because my dose is too low, I let him up me to 60 and tried to go to school had to have someone come get me and drive me home then I slept for 17hours straight.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum..I was in a methadone clinic here in Michigan...we were allowed to take pretty much anything if we had a rx for it..That is unfortunate that they don;t allow that..i am sorry..does your friend that gave you the "sample" take methadone? they tested for it at the clinic i was at to make sure it was in fact in your system..you need to really makes sure it is the right temp...I understand how bad it sux to not have take homes..Do you get a week?
