Common Questions and Answers about Methadone vs percocet

methadose

Avatar f tn it would have just been better for you to detox off the percocet. methadone is a monster. is the clinic ready to let you taper already? i would get off as soon as possible. it is a much worse drug to detox from than the percocets. dont let them up your dose. tell them you want to get off. you decided it was a bad idea. the clinic will have to lower your dose. after 6 days i would even consider just not going to the clinic anymore.
Avatar m tn Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!
Avatar n tn methadone is a much harsher detox then the percocet, i kicked a 240mg methadone habit in 2004, the 3rd week was terrible i cannot suggest that you take 40percs a day, i do believe in using percocet as a detox comfort med during methadone wd, but you are taking too much, cut it down to 12 pills a day, if you are serious about getting clean, i can help you with a taper plan, i am too tired tonight to do the calculations if you continue to take 40percs a day, you will just trade one habit for anoth
Avatar m tn I am switching from 30 mg methadone daily to 40 mg percocet. I was told percocet won't have any affect until being off of methadone 3-5 days. Is this correct?
Avatar n tn You would have to quit taking the methadone for 24 - 48 hours to probably get any use from the percocet. The methadone should help for some pain relief.
Avatar f tn nurseone is right there is no way the percocet came up. the methadone would show up if your on it. but if your on methadone i dont know why you would take percocet, depending on your dose it wouldnt have an analgesic affect.
1151955 tn?1262643533 My insurance stopped paying for brand oxycontin so I was switched to Methadone for pain management. My mood definitely changed on those. It was awful. So I went back to the oxycontin and pay out of pocket. We all react differently so you very well could be reacting to the oxycontin. However taking a medication and having to take more than what is prescribed is not good for you long term. You need a proper pain medication so you don't need to take more medication than you need.
Avatar m tn dont know what kind of pain you have but the methadone has more severe and much longer detox than the percocet withdrawal. many,many times the pain gets much worse the longer you are on pain pills. it is rebound pain. it is usually advisable to be off all pain meds for about a month to re-evaluate the pain. once you are on the methadone it is very hard to get off of it.
Avatar f tn I'n on methadone and took 1 percocet for pain for a tooth ache on 7/8 and went to a dentist on 7/9 and given Ibeprophen 500 and amoxacillan. Would the percocet still show up in a urine on 7/21? My job depends on it.
Avatar f tn Ive been taking percocet on n off for 5 years. More on than off. I use to subsitite with norco, 10mg when id run put pf my 30 month supply of 120 after 2 weeks. I try to taper, and it helps. I recently went up to 6 a day of 10/325. O have 3 left with one ready to inhale for the am. I am coming out of a drug imduced psychosis episode. I've gotten them before, but this was the worst. Im taking 2 mg xanax which has brought me back almost 99%.
Avatar m tn Hello, everyone. I am new to this community. I just ran across it and am glad to have found it. I have been taking pain medication for just over six years now. I have loss of cartliage in my knee and it causes a lot of pain. The doctor I go to is very good, but also very good at writing a monthly script of 90 Perc 10's and 90 Soma. It started out very innocently as trying to stop the pain and be able to work and pay the bills. Pain is a terribly debilitating thing.
Avatar f tn I have recently went back on methadone and was on percocet for pain management but have not taken the percocet I was taking for two weeks. I recently went in for my refill at the pain clinic and tested positive for percocet and honestly have not taken it in over 2 weeks and it was prescribed before the pain clinic. I told my PM Dr this and she said it cold be a false positive so is sending it into the lab and if it comes back I had percocet in my system, I will be discharged, and It has me mad!
Avatar f tn d take all the methadone at one time n never really took my Percocet, traded off for more methadone and was up to 50 or 60 mgs for the last ,5 yrs. Do I hAve bin using or abusing opiates for 16 yrs, no real clean time. Today is my 4th day no methadone but 3rd day with nothing.
Avatar f tn I became addicted at age 42 to a prescription of percocet (shockingly. Never a drinker, partier, nada) and admitted myself to an inpatient facility that worked wonders in 2005.. Became very involved in N/A, stayed clean but relapsed a year and a half ago so was advised to try a methadone clinic.. I was detoxed on methadone for the first three days of treatment and no dt's!.. so I am on 70 mgs and start weaning tomoro.
Avatar f tn Ok.......many years ago I had an Oxy addiction. Successfully came off with methadone and successfully tapered off methadone as well and had been clean for around 10 years. Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. I had pretty major surgery and was prescribed Percocet 7.5/325 (60). In about 3 weeks I've been through 210 7.5s. I'd take more than recommend dosage for the first few days of the script and then taper myself down to about 4 a day. I'd refill and do the same again.
Avatar f tn If you stopped taking percocet at 23 weeks could your baby still test positive when they test its stool at birth.
Avatar m tn She should have stayed on the methadone and let the Percocet go. Whatever she does should be done under the care and advisement of her OB but here is some helpful info below that you can present at a dr visit. Standard Protocol When a pregnant woman wants to detoxify from opiates or other opioids, the recognized standard of care, according to the National Health Institute, is methadone treatment while under a doctor's supervision.
Avatar m tn I am about to have surgery on my foot Tuesday and am scared nothing will work for pain as I am currently taking 60 milligrams of Methadone daily for maintenance. He was going to prescribe me Percocet but am also afraid he will not give me anything because I'm on a program. If he does, will Percocet even work? What would be a good dosage for me? Can anyone help me here? I truly appreciate your time. Thanks a bunch!
Avatar m tn are the fent. patch and methadone any harder to stop than other opiates? I know whatever YOU are coming off of at the time seems the worst, but I have heard that methadone and fentenayl are really bad. Is there any truth to this and why? I am really scared getting ready to stop c.t. from 1-2oo mcg of the fent patch for the last 7 months or so. Just kinda want to know what I am in for.
Avatar f tn can taking methadone and percocet togeather cause overdose wich can lead to a stroke? If your addicted to percocet coming off of them can it make you really angry at anyone tring to help you get off them? can taking to much percocet mixed with methodone and xanix make you very disfunctional slured speech and come in and out while in a conversation and fall asleep all the time?
