methadose

Avatar f tn It could be a side effect of the methadone or even an allergic type reaction to it. I remember when I took Macrobid (antibiotic) for a urinary infection, I had a high fever (102.3) every time I would take it, so I called my doctor's office and they told me to stop it immediately because I was having an allergic reaction to it. As it turned out, my father had had this same type of reaction to it a couple years before.

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 On thing about Hep C side effects is that the most severe side effects can usually be treated and controlled with prescription medications. If the side effects are kept under control, treatment is not nearly as bad as it the side effects are ignored. Plus, with Hep C treatment, the side effects come and go and change weekly. Plus the severity of the side effects vary from day to day and week to week and from person to person. Some people do not get bad side effects.
Avatar f tn Do the new drugs come with their own side effects besides the ones that soc come with? Not sure if I asked that right, I'm still waiting for everything to come together but if the new meds come with even worse side effects than one might already get maybe that's another reason to treat now.
Avatar m tn Some of those symptoms may be similar to withdrawal side effects of Incivek changing the effect of Methadone, so it may be hard to differentiate. And then there is the psychological component of both triple tx and Methadone to consider as you experience side effects. I would also encourage you to write down your side effects so your doctor can help you determine what's what.
Avatar f tn sorry to hear your hubby is having a hard time. sounds like he is having some of the common side effects. There is nothing that can boost platlets but many docs let them go really low before lowering or stopping the meds. Try and get back on the full strength of interferon ASAP! Probably the most common side effect is the itching. I have it as well and it is horrible. I have found some relief with a prescription med called Atarax.
Avatar n tn I wish i had never been offered Methadone. I never noticed any side effects up untill about 2yrs ago. I have every known side effect,but the worst one of all at the moment is excessive sweating. My quality of life is zero. I sweat from head to toe most days all day. I sit with ice ,cold can's of juice sitting on my cheek's,my breasts and my wrists. Ive put on 4st in weight,and i know this wont be helping the situation. I don't know what to do anymore.
1089121 tn?1256818742 oh yes these are some of the wounderful side effects of tx,do check with your dr.about your hives to make sure its not a reaction but my dr. put me on tiamcinolone cream for the rash,it does tin to help.
Avatar f tn s office and asked about these symptoms, the nurse stated the doctor said these were not normal side effects. How do I get my Oncologist to see that I am having these problems and to treat them?
Avatar m tn Sorry man. I tried searchin for you but only found other posts by you on other sites lol. Alls I got right now is a quote..."Been on Lamictal 8 years. Good results. No neg.side effects though I did look out for the rash. (Bipolar 1). Taking lots of other stuff, but Lamictal seems to have good results with minimal side effects--but it also takes a long tim to get to a therapeutic dose."--Suzy I know youve seen alot of stuff like this so i will keep searchin.
767538 tn?1276575320 How did you stop the methadone? Did you tamper off of it? I was put on morphine release caps but did not like the side effects. I had to give them the remaining amount of pills in order to be placed on 25 mg of Fent. This did nothing for me and I had some percosets left so it got me through until he upped the dose to 75 mg ever 72 hours. I feel like it only works for 2 days and I have trouble keeping it on my skin. I was told that I have to buy this $30.
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.
337492 tn?1212458836 I am starting to feel better, but I am having side effects. I have been on the lithium for a year so I am not worried about it, but I feel jittery, am shaky, and my heart rate is staying at 100 BPM. Will this calm down as the med gets in my system? 150 mg per day taken at 75 mg x2. I just want to make sure I will be ok. I see my new doctor on Tuesday. Thanks.
1098097 tn?1258142472 If he is experiencing an increase in heart palpitations while taking Florinef, I would recommend asking his doctor to check his Potassium level. Florinef can deplete the body of Potassium, which can cause all sorts of unusual side effects. Not to mention the fact that patients with Dysautonomia are notorious for being particularly intolerant to any electrolyte imbalance. The reaction you describe does sound a bit more like an allergic reaction though.
Avatar n tn if methadone has no long term side effects then why about a week after i came off methadone did i urinate blood every time i passed urine for about 24 to36 hours then things cleared up
