Avatar m tn When you say Meth I'm a$$uming your talking about methadone mot methamphetamine? Right? Anyways, if this is correct it seems like your daughter did it backwards as the methadone seems to be the standard protocol from expecting mothers detoxing from opiates.

Avatar n tn Without exception UROD must always be followed immediatley by the same ************** program which any opiate addict must undergo. UROD is a beneficial treatment specifically for individuals who want to get off methadone.

222369 tn?1274474635 I've seen a lot of people lately taking drugs to get off drugs. It runs the gambit from simple muscle relaxers and anti-seizure medications such as Neurontin, to much more troubling medications such as Z-drugs (Ambien and Lunesta), benzos, and even marijuana or alcohol. It's a very understandable thought process that makes us seek anything that will help us get through the perceived horrors of withdrawal.
Avatar f tn Boith drugs have a long half life so a long wd period, both drugs are narcotics...sub being the stronger of the two drugs mg for mg.

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.

Avatar m tn Hello. Detoxing right now can be harmful to the baby who will feel everything the mother is feeling....especially cold turkey. Make an appointment with a doctor to discuss the different possibilities. One possibility is methadone as it is relatively is safe for the baby. Then, after you have the baby you can address your addiction and get off the methadone.
Avatar f tn ve seen on television, babies do go through withdrawal after birth. Adults go through some sort of withdrawal after being prescribed those medications.

Avatar n tn I am 26 weeks pregnant on Wednesday and I fell pregnant while on Methadone as a maintenance treatment for an opiate addiction. Subutex, which I have used in the past as a means to withdraw from heroin, and am now using methadone as a long-term treatment. My mid-wife has been especially assigned to me because I am on a methadone programme & I've been told by my obstretician & mid-wife & pharmacist that the methadone is fine as a treatment to be on while pregnant.
