Avatar n tn When methadone is taken under medical supervision, long-term maintenance causes no adverse effects to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bones, blood, brain, or other vital body organs. Methadone produces no serious side effects, although some patients experience minor symptoms such as constipation, water retention, drowsiness, skin rash, excessive sweating, and changes in libido. Once methadone dosage is adjusted and stabilized or tolerance increases, these symptoms usually subside.
Avatar f tn I am going to say I think you should call your Dr. stopping Methadone does not cause a rash or green spots. Could it be the filler or botox that you received? Keep us updated. Sending hugs your way!!
Avatar m tn This might sound stupid, but I have been tapering down from methadone for about a month. I`ve gone from 40mg to 20mg in the past 2 weeks. Every day I go through bouts of itching,mostly when I go to bed. It`s like having chiggers or something. My arms, hands,feet,face itch and my head gets itching so bad I can`t get away from it until I take a Benadryl. I have to admit that taking 2 Benadryl before bed helps a LOT for the itching and even being able to sleep.

Avatar f tn I have never used Methadone so I obviously have never withdrawn from Methadone. However, I have worked extensively with people who have withdrawn from Methadone. From my observation (and I know it was only observation accompanied by what the people were telling me), Methadone withdrawal is far more painful and grueling than Hep C treatment. My observation and understanding is that methadone withdrawal produces severe symptoms of withdrawal which last for months.
Avatar m tn I just started the triple treatment yesterday. I have been on methadone maintenance for 15 months and from what I've been reading the Incivek somehow uses your methadone faster and you will need a dosage change. Has anyone had this same issue. My gastro said not to worry about this issue too much. Just told me to keep track of symptoms but the side effect symptoms are the same as opiate withdrawal symptoms. How do I know what is is a side effect of?

1187071 tn?1279369698 he looked at my face also and said it was a allergic reaction and to make sure I put methadone down as one of my allergies. He said my eyes and rash should get better in a few days, he said the same thing she did that only time will help them. He told me to take my new pain meds and get better and he will see me in a month. When I went to get my script filled I made sure I told them about the methadone.
Avatar f tn you should NOT mix any benzo with methadone..as for the other meds..I am not sure..I took methadone in liquid form so i wouldn't know the strength of the pill/wafer you took..look it up on the net..google it. methadone has a very long 1/2 life and will be in your system for about 36 hrs..depending on your metablism..how strong of an opiate are you used to taking and how often..with methadone..one persons dose can be anothers death..

2183581 tn?1369937547 The outcome was a prescription for methadone I had severe anxiety about taking methadone because of the bad reputation that it has. Needless to say I took the perscription and got it filled and started taking the methadone. He started me out with 5 milligrams 1 per day then to per day then 3 per day. Yesterday was my first day of taking 3 per day. I was feeling much better I was off the couch I join my family at the table for dinner which if you know me was a huge accomplishment.
417564 tn?1287982827 As most of you know, we have done well coming off methadone and we are very thankful for that....but ever since last Thursday when I got so sick...I cannot seem to get my stomach back in order. I am worried that if I continue like this, I will end up malnourished and very sick. What should I do? Yesterday I ate a piece of toast and a cracker...it seemed like a lot to me. Methadone is terrible on your gut, restoring proper gut function is proving difficult for me.
Avatar m tn I am new here just saying hi. But I have a quick question I am addicted to methadone I take 25mg a day (light weight) =) but I am thinking hard about kicking this stupid life wrecking habit I even dream about being sober and what it "used" to be like when I could fall asleep naturally. My question is about two weeks ago someone dropped a huge bottle of 30mg roxi's on the table and said have fun. Well at first I was like no way not gonna happen but that little voice said why not.
Avatar f tn Anyway, Methadone was my last pain med I came off of, besides other meds mixed in, back in 2012. Methadone was used, as you know, to help heroin addicts, now days they are using Buprenorphine (subutex) as a detox and for pain. Both Methadone & Subutex are partial opiate blockers, which means they are not a full agonist & do not completely block receptors. Therefore they are not the strongest for pain.

Avatar m tn This time last year i lost my job due to my boss finding out i was on methadone. I was with a doctor and being prescribed 50mls (250mg) per day, and due to losing my job, and being upset about it, i made a rash decision to go to thailand on my own, to get off it, and go through my withdrawls there, reason being at the time, that i wud have to stick it out because i obviously i wudnt be able to get anything there, so i'd have no choice, but it turned out to be a nitemare.
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.
1362888 tn?1277758752 I to have gained 80 pounds from being 110 my whole life, Once I was on the Methadone, I am on 120 Mg a day, & I did taper off them to 30 Mg a dayfor about 2 months & lost weight I got down to 154 pounds, but then I relaped & went up again , I went to jail for 30 days one time, they made me go cold turkey, & I lost alot of weight, BUT when I got home I took them again, the weight went back up, & so my weight is back up,since I am now 180 lbs , & it makes me crave sugar
1187071 tn?1279369698 I said I am willing to do anything that you want me to do. he said ok I am starting you off on the hard stuff, I am putting you on methadone, you take 2 a day for the first week and then 3 day day after that. I was like crap but I didn't say anything. I will do anything he tells me to I will try it. I said can I please get a nerve block???
767538 tn?1276575320 Put on my second 25mcg patch this morning at 7am and I am getting NO pain control. I stopped Methadone about 4 months ago(was on 40-60mgs a day) and have recently been taking 30mg of Oxycodone. I am really suprised that this patch has not been effective for me, perhaps I am more opiate tolerant than I thought? I know Methadone is very strong but I would have thought it would have been out of my sytem by now? Does anyone think I will get pain control jumping up to the 50mcg patch?
1369723 tn?1278305590 The Dr, there decided to put him on Methadone. The first dose made him sick, break out in a rash and itch all over. The next morning he was still sick and nauseas. He still went ahead and took the liquid methadone at the clinic. 10 minutes lated he vomited it up. Has been deathly ill ever since. I called the clinic and they said he's in withdrawals and needs bigger dose of methadone. My son refuses to go.. He thinks its the methadone thats making him vomit.
142722 tn?1281533616 I really think they were not feeding her enough, not to metion she had a diaper rash that was to the point where he bleed and they blamed it on her pooing to much, but I think it was becasude they didn't change her often enough. Some of the workers were very judgemental. They even went behind my back and took a poo diaper out of the trash so they could test it. I told them everything that I was on.
Avatar f tn I will definitly avoid the Diluadid I noticed the second time I tried it the rash was way worse than the first time. I noticed a question about Methadone reaction I have never had one, but I believe a drug reaction is a drug reaction all the same steer clear from it. Best to all you are in my prayers.
Avatar f tn What is Methadone?: Methadone is an opiate that was first introduced after World War II as an alternative to morphine. Methadone was originally thought to be less addictive because of its extremely long half life. Today, methadone is used as an analgesic for pain management and more popularly as replacement therapy for heroin and other opiate addictions. Methadone is a cheap alternative to other opiate based medications which outweighs it potency when prescribing.
