Avatar n tn Help!!! My 25year old son is addicted to liquid Codein ( street name "Lean"). Lately he has become this very hyper and talkative person. Not sleeping. I'm very scared because the last time he stop using it he went into clodl sweats and bad stomach cramps. How can I help him to get off the drug?
Avatar m tn I quit cold turkey off 90 milligrams of liquid methadone....im starting day 5... I feel okay, I just hurt really bad, how long does it last. My body metabolizes it very fast... I did several meth levels the next day after I dosed and I always came up negative for the methadone.... does that mean that this withdrawl is almost over??? I just want to know how long it usually takes to withdraw off liquid methadone.
Avatar m tn some of the elderly have feeding tubes in their tummy and the liquid is easier to put in the tube than crushing pills...as far as the methadone, my son worked in a clinic and they gave the liquid...it is also easier to do different doses as measuring liquid is easier than trying to cut pills...but I am not sure exactly why the clinic uses liquid...and perhaps some clinics use pills in other areas...
689860 tn?1238718032 If i'm on Methadone(7mgs) and I switch to methadose(pills), will I feel the difference? Will i adjust to the change in a certain amount of time ? After finding out that my insurance will cover methadose i wonder if i can just leave my program and save that money?
Avatar f tn I also switched from the wafers to liquid methadone, this ensures a accurate dose during the titration process. I recomend that you talk to your doctor & work out a tapering plan, & while detoxing off methadone isnt a easy thing to do, it can be done & is done by many people.
5772022 tn?1373978536 I was put on methadone 14 years ago for chronic pain. 4 years ago I was taken off of it cold turkey. In desperation a got into a methadone clinic. I'm finding that the liquid methadone doesn't seem to work on pain as the pills did. Is this In my head or is there really a difference. Also is this site for online addiction support or is it medical advice. Kind of confused on that issue.
Avatar m tn Whereas a Lortab or Vicodin would wear off for me in 2 hours, Methadone can last 3-4 x longer. PLEASE be aware of several things with Methadone - if you are unable to find a pain management doctor to prescribe you sufficient medication and you decide to go to a methadone clinic, you MUST tell them you are an addict, and not coming for pain management. If you even mention that you're using the clinic for pain, they will send you away.
Avatar m tn If i take a 250 dose of methadone and 45 mins later vomit is the methadone not effective?
1362888 tn?1277758752 I've been on methadone for 8years & I've been on liquid methadone for the past 2years & ill tell you for sure that liquid m done does eat the enamel on your teeth my dentist said it does cause I was on the pill form at 1st & never had any problem but past 2years I've been on the liquid & the stuff that's in the liquid does eat your teeth away.
Avatar n tn How do I get off Methadone after over 17 years ? I am in Ft Worth Texas and need help!
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone knew how many liquid milliliters of methadone are in a 10 mg methadone pill and if methadone comes in anything stronger than 10 mg in pill form
Avatar f tn i have a friend who has some methadone pills. He takes 80 mg of the liquid methadone, what I can give him is tablets. Would it be the same as the liquid? And should he take the 80 mg all at one time like he does at the clinic. Really not sure what to do. Please give me respone asap I leave town Tues. evening. My son is meeting me on Friday.
1624977 tn?1299260466 Then my new doctor weined me off the methadone and loratabs and the xanax completely and now I have to go to a methadone clinic with herroin addicts just to get a methadone fix of 120mg of liquid methadone. The liquid methadone has no analgesic effects, it only makes the withdrawls go away. I want off the methadone completely and I don't know what to do. I feel so sick when I don't have the methadone. It's so embarrasing going to a methadone clinic for pain management.
Avatar f tn Ok so I take 150 methadone, was on liquid now just switched to the orange 40 chewable things. But I take three full ones, one half of one and quarter. Equalling 150 what's..
Avatar n tn HI you can get methadose from a doctor and pick it up at a pharmacy it is methadone in pill form methadone is usually liquid and is dispensed at clinics you have to go every day to get it most doctors cannot prescribe methadone hence why so many go to the clinics this is nasty stuff I was on it 6 1/2 yrs I would run the other way if someone ever offered to me again it is not a way to get around withdrawals methadone withdrawals are some of the worst you can experence your best off to detox wha
Avatar m tn It's liquid methadone. I went off cold turkey 3 years ago and it was he'll but i made it. I feel into deep depression and no doctor would prescribe me any antidepressants that would work. So i feel back into the groove. I went off at 8mg of liquid methadone and it was hell. I'm now at 8mg and about to be kicked down two a day and um freaking out. I have a full time job and I'm in school. This could ruine everything good i have going for me.

734322 tn?1231796678 Ok I assume youre dosing at a clinic because of the liquid right? I am also on methadone, and sick of it. I looked at your profile and noticed youre in Largo. I live in St. Pete. Im at BATC. The clinic will take you down slowly if you want to do it that way. I personally dont want to. Im trying to figure another way. Congratulations on deciding to take your life back!! Maybe we can be detox buddies. Im at 150 now. What are you dosing at and have you talked to the clinic about coming off?
Avatar f tn prescribe you the pill form instead of the liquid form, or why would they prescribe the liquid instead of the pill? I understand Hydrocodone comes the same way. I know they prescribe it in liquid form, the actual name is Hycet, and then you have the regular pill form. Just curious....
1119036 tn?1259534815 you could have seziure or worse. I am also on methadone liquid form and when first started methadone was also on xanax and they told me I had to taper off b/c it was so DANGEROUS. PLS SEE A DOC... any questions feel free ask or message me...
Avatar f tn A blood test showed up positive for a small amount of alcohol and there had been no alcohol drank or even in the house. That day a dose of liquid methadone was taken and an albuterol breathing treatment given. Someone told me they thought methadone could metabolize into alcohol in the body, but I've never heard this. How is it possible for alcohol to show up?
Avatar m tn This forum is more for people trying to get off of drugs or that have gotten off them. I was on methadone for many years and am so glad I broke free. Some peple may need methadone for life but many don't. The NAMA board is more of a place for questions like this. They love to talk about methadone and different types etc. It's not a very recovery friendly forum though as they don't like to talk much about tapering or getting off.
Avatar f tn I suffer from chronic back neck and hip pain from a car accident and have fibromyalgia and vicodin doesnt work any more so now i need to find a doctor who will write for methadone pills not liquid and a monthly script not daily clinic in mass please help me
Avatar f tn In 2007, I was hospitalized and dx with GBS. After years of pain meds, I found myself chewing my patch. I started Methadone treatment two years ago and currently & 120mg daily (liquid I divide am/pm @ 60mg). I’ve also been taking Wellbutrin 75mg bid. Interested in Concave for weight loss and help with energy, but noticed interactions. Belviq better?
