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 f tn I got desperate on night, just lost my mind from 2 days straight with horrible pain and no sleep. On a 1-10 scale? 12! So, I took 60 mg of oxycodone and 40 mg of methadone, plus 1 mg of Ativan - all at once, instead of breaking doses up over the day. I slept great for the first time since the wreck - March 25, 2015! I even felt better today, and took nothing but my methadone and Ativan, until late in the afternoon. But, some people say I might not have woken up.

Avatar n tn Masochism If you do not want to suffer from any of the above side effects do not start methadone treatment. Those are just a few of the symptoms you will experience. I could be more comprehensive but if you have questions I will be glad to answer. My suggestion is that if you suffer from both Add/narcolepsy and chronic pain go with an oc meds or try a Thebiane based opiod/opiate that is drugs like oxycontin, hydrocodone or Bupenorphine.
603838 tn?1238534975 Hi all. One of my best friends has been taking heavy painkillers to manage pain due to disk surgery and partial replacement. They have been switching between things as heavy as morphine and methadone. They found her thanksgiving day not breathing with foam coming out of her mouth and nose. She was in respiratory arrest and flown to a better hospital in the neighboring state.
Avatar f tn are these the side effects of someone on methadone????cause i dont understand how i can be so talkative in the past and have such a strong personilty.. then turn into a zombie with no emotions, is this what happens after taking the pill for a while.. as i said im a 26 beautiful women.( i dont feel that way but i have men talking to me constantly,) get compliments daily.
Avatar f tn After two weeks of taking the pills, I unfortunately experienced mild attacks of tight chest pains, tremors, tingling arms, shortness of breath, anxiety and heart palpitations. I later found out from my endo that these were symptoms of an overdose (i.e. the same symptoms you can get from hyperthyroidism, overactive thyroid). A possibility of this may have been that I'm only tiny (4"11 and just under 8 stone).

Avatar m tn I actually just went to a funeral of a guy who did that a few months ago (xanax and methadone). In fact, in just the last 2 - 3 years in my area I have personaly known 3 people who have died from that, but there have been many many more. I am not sure how long darvocet stays active, but methadone is a LONG acting medicine and it may not matter if you take the doses 12 or even 24 hours apart. Stay safe!

Avatar n tn I am 39yrs old and have been on methadone for approx 12-15yrs. This has proven to be the biggest life changing mistake i have ever made. I have not touched heroin for approx 10yrs,but between then and roughly a year ago,i also was addicted to valium,temazepam,and finally crack cocaine.
Avatar m tn As your husband is opiate tolerant, there is very little danger of overdose. When switching from one pain medication to another, there can be periods of overlap. The 30mg of methadone may not be sufficient, but because methadone can build up in the system over a period of days, your doctor will want to slowly increase the methadone dose until the desired pain relief is achieved. Just follow his instructions. The addition of tramadol (Ultram) should not cause any significant side effects.
Avatar f tn This particular drug is very stimulating for most people, which can potentially partially counter-act the narcotic effects of the methadone. Safety is a very complex issue; it doesn't just involve normal contraindications, it also involves how any medication affects a particular person as we respond differently to them. I'm assuming some professional has decided your Dad is depressed. Is he? Is he possibly over-medicated on the Methadone, which would cause depression?
1304379 tn?1376567437 HI I was on methadone for 6 1/2yr if someone was to offer it to me today I would run the other way it took me 8 1/2 mo to taper off going in and out of withdrawals then it was around 90 days to get over the post withdrawals methadone is an evil drug go with sub if you dont have the disapline give it to someone you trust to give it to you your recovery time will be 1/3 of methadone you know you also have to go to the clinic everyday they will start you at about 35 or 40mg and see if that holds yo
484759 tn?1208573669 m experiences most of the listed pysical side effects (dilated pupils, nausea for most of the day, dizzyness, some restlessness etc.), but mentally I feel like I'm alive again and don't want to give up this medication at all. I have corrected the dosage as of today (1 x 50mg/day for the remaining of the 14 days and then increase to 1 x 100mg/day).
Avatar m tn In an opiate tolerant person such as myself using doses of said drugs orally, what are the chances of accidental overdose? I have read that it is difficult for an opiate tolerant person to have a dangerous overdose unless they take extremely high doses.
