Mixing methadone with hydrocodone
Common Questions and Answers about Mixing methadone with hydrocodone
methadose
I used to suppliment my hydro, oxy, and basically anything I could get my hands on with methadone....Then, I was addicted to methadone! I am going to tell you that there is no worse detox then from methadone! Seriously, you need to take a good look at what you are trying to accomplish.....If you want to quit....quit! Cold turkey is the best way.....there are a lot of things you can do to minimize and lessen the time of detox but PLEASE.....put the methadone down!
The doctor there took me off of the hydrocodone, and prescribed Methadone, 5 mg, twice a day to start. These take 3 to 5 days to get into your system. My question is, can you mix Hydrocodone and Methadone? I want to take the Hydrocodone until the Methadone is in my system and working. I am in a lot of pain and don't want to have pain while I wait on the Methadone to kick in. Also, after reading all of your emails regarding Methadone addiction, etc.
This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't mix methadone with hydrocodone. Both drugs supress your respiratory system. If you are still in withdrawls from oxycontin the opiate is still in your system and it would be mixing the 3 drugs. I would be afraid to take it all together. Good luck, this is not an easy road. My prayers are with you.
Hope you are feeling better this morning. I also switched from taking several hydro per day over to taking methadone. One of the biggest mistakes of my life, if not THE biggest.
Be aware that all opiates depress your respiratory system. I have a dear friend who was in the beginning stages of COPD and wasn't aware of it. She was taking only about 3 or 4 hydros per day.
I don't understand. Are you taking the Methadone so you can quit the Hydrocodone? I am so confused.
I've been addicted to hydrocodone. Last time I touched hydro was last sat round noon. I woke up Sunday, hurting like hell, so I took four tramadol. Took the edge off. I decided to quit CT. So Sunday night I took 20mg of methadone to mitigate the W/D symptoms. It's now Tuesday afternoon and I can def feel the W/D symptoms but the methadone seems to be covering it up descent.
I have been taking 30 mg of Methadone for about a year and am trying to ween off. I am officially out of my Methadone as of 10pm last night where I had my last 5mg pill. I have 25 10/325 Hydro's and plan on using them to curve the withdrawl symptoms of the Methadone. If I only take on or two of the 10's will I be ok with any interactions with the Methadone? Like I said at the max I was only taking 25-30mg of Methadone a day.....
and just like kim said this can be a deadly combo both my phyc dr and my pain dr where consired when I first went on it that there could be problems with the 2....if I where you id warn my friend that mixing annthing with methadone is gambling with you life..and if your wrong you dont get a second chance...methadone is a very strong
narcotic and almost annthing including alcohol effects it so tread lightly...
I can only tell you that I would stick with the hydrocodone if you need pain control. Methadone is a BEAR to get off of as it seeps into the bones and tissues. 10 mg of methadone is approximately equivalent to 30-35 mg of hydrocodone. So one dose of methadone at 10 mg would be like taking ALL 3 of your hydro 10's at once....with the benefit of the long half life (how long it stays in your system).
We have a Pain Management Forum, too, if you are interested in that.
I used to be on 150 mg of Methadone a day but cut way down to just 30mg/day and it was so tough! Now I'm mixing just 10mg of Valium with the current Methadone. It that mixture safe?
Can Venlafaxine 37.5 m ( which is a generic brand of Effexor ) be taken with 20 mg of methadone? Are these two drugs okay to be mixed? Anyone taking this?
I am currently taking klonopin for my seizures, zolof for depression, and hydrocodone for tooth pain. If all these meds are taken at the same time is their a chance of blacking out or short term memory loss? The reason I ask is because it has happened to me and I need some info on this.
so wouldnt it be better to take the hydrocodone for ab 2 weeks low doses so he can go through the hydrocodone withdrawal and not the methadone? what if he takes a 5mg hydrocodone would that start the withdrawal process over?
Can i mix tramadol 100mg with hydrocodone 10 mg? I can't get my pain under control and I can't even get out of bed. My husband works all the time and I have a 4 year old son to take care of. This is the 6th day that i haven't gotten out of bed. Someone please help with some advice on mixing tramadol and hydrocodone. Thank you.
As far as I am aware there are no contraindications for methadone and adderal...... but the jittery and non-focused part may well be getting used to the amphetamine dose...could take a couple days to become acclimated......And then again you are basically taking a downer (methadone) with speed (adderal) - - so there could be adjustments to doses made...... I would suggest that you post this question on the Addiction Expert Forum and get an MD's opinion........
Be careful!!!! I too tried to "fix" a hydro addiction with methadone....methadone is said to be the hardest opiate to kick...if you truly are wanting to be free of it all stay away from the methadone...your usage isnt that much..if you are just trying to beat the withdrawl aspect just know that coming off the methadone is going to be so much harder than the hydro if taken long term....
Is it okay to take Zofran 8mg (Ondansetron) anti-nausia nedication with my Hydrocodone-hom 5mg caugh syrup?
I cant tell you how many people died from mixing methadone and xanax but its happening at alarming rates everyday. I go to a meth clinic and had a phyc doc prescribe 2mgs 3x a day also. I dont remember most of the month if you know what I mean. GET HIM HELP NOW. Things got so bad with me I became homeless and came clean to the doc that I was an addict. They stopped the scripts and I havent taken xanax like that since. It makes the person look like theyre going to fall over just standing still.
When I went to the clinic (on methadone 4 years) there were people on both methadone and seraquel. So mixing them is ok for people that are prescribed it. But as kendrika said talk to your doctor forsure! And please tell us why are you on methadone? What dose? Did you start taking them together? Do you still take them together?
i cant believe the doc even started you that high to begin with. i was snorthing 340mg of oxycotin a day and the methadone clinic im going to started me at 15mg once a day!!!! i moved up to 40mg.....methadone is NOT safer then vidadon at all. you would be better off getting off that methadone now!!! methadone is going to be a way bigger problem then three vic a day.....
