1736483 tn?1310604753 in Birmingham, Al that that treats opiate addiction through prescribing methadone. I have been going to a clinic for about 3 years, I need to be treated for high blood pressure and severe lower back pain as well as the methadone treatment. Searching for a private Dr that can help with treatment for all issues with the intent of getting off methadone eventually while treating the other issues. I also would like to use my Blue Cross health insurance. Thanks for any suggestions.

Avatar f tn Let me ask this...are most of the people on this forum NA people or is this just a general forum to help addiction problems?

But as time went by I really felt a conection with all of you, I still cant believe some of the friendships & support I have gotton off this forum, mind blowing!
Avatar n tn Many hepatitis C patients are on methadone. Methadone is known to be liver-friendly and will not harm the liver.
Avatar f tn HI and welcome to the forum.....well I detoxed off 150ml of methadone took me 8 1/2mo to taper off and I did it in 1/2 the time the clinic wanted to go at....tapering off methadone requires patents and perseverance it is not the most comfortable thing in the world ether I have helped others do it also and can help you if you like it is a race one by the tortus not the hare....slow and steady wins the race if you go to fast your beat silly with withdrawals to slow and it takes forever ...

1445110 tn?1388209711 Hi HessyKat, First I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are glad you found this Forum. I want to let you know that there are NO Doctors on this Forum only CP - Chronic Pain - Patients that help each other with our OWN expertise and experiences that we have developed through our OWN CP Issues. I'm REALLY sorry that you are having all of these problems!
Avatar f tn I can only tell you that if you found his bottle of methadone, then he is taking methadone pills. Some people go to a methadone clinic, and drink methadone in a cup,(or take pills, like yr Dad) but they never shoot methadone with a spoon and syringe, that would be heroin. Your dad wouldn't be in the bathroom, "doing methadone", and he wouldn't be in the bathroom, fixing the dogs medicine...he would just do that out in the open, like in the kitchen, I would think.
Avatar f tn I have been on/off RX for 9 years,for the past 5 years I have been on a methadone meaintnece program with councelng, urine tests,ect I use to have to go everyday to get meth. to take the edge off of pain, anxiety, now I go 2 times a month.

Avatar m tn .i have had two back surgeries (fusions) and require at least two more, i have advanced degen/disc disease, also have a shunt for psudotumor cerebri, so the back surgs gets complicated, i have also nodes/spinal stenosis, arthritis in my si joints, and the list goes on, cuz i cant quite remember the bigger words they used for all the issues.
Avatar n tn Sorry for your misunderstanding....this forum can be sensitive. Methadone is usually well tolerated. Any other meds used in conjuction with it? Liquid could possibly make a difference..... and worried is being funny - bluelight is no place to go for intelligent advice.....only go there if you wish to experiment with dosing your meth in your ear or by using a butt plug!
1965340 tn?1325537562 HI AND welcome to the forum so your ready to take your life back thats great with methadone you have to be willing to be in it for the long haul it takes some time to get off if you dont want to be in constant withdrawals you cant go to slow altohugh I personally would rather put up with some discofort then drag it out over years when you drope doses wait at lest 72hr b/4 froping again most clinics will allow 1 a week drops the lower the dose the smaller the drops it all about percentage you nee

1843491 tn?1322859611 but im currently on 20 mgs of methadone and i was tapering until i had a seizure christmas evening for not taking my xanax for 2 days straight, and ever since then i stayed at 20 mgs due to being scared to have another siezure, my question is, mylocal meth clinic switched the methadone. Do you know if there is any difference in the redish/pink meth, and the clear meth?
461368 tn?1206516757 Welcome to the forum. Are you under a doctors care with the Methadone? How long have you been on it? I'm on Suboxone, and I'm clean from my drug of choice, but I guess I wouldn't say that I'm totally clean yet, since it is still an opiate, as is Methadone. Mehtadone is a hard drug to come off of, so be careful. Perhaps its time to start tappering off it. What is your doctor suggesting?
Avatar f tn m 46 now with a methadone habit of 190 ml per day and where they prescribe me methadone, they are playing with my health, meaning when I'm not able to go to their month apointment with their doctors because I'm very sick or something happends that is urgent and I cannot attend, they don't send me the prescription for me to get my dose, that is really playing with our health and playing God too in a way I think...
