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 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!

175734 tn?1225134440 The ones I have heard have the fewest side effects are Methadone and Suboxone, but there also the ones that have terrible withdrawls. But may people say that methadone works better than anything they've tried so are willing to take the trade off. I have also heard so little negative about Opana ER like TrayCee mentioned. Everyone I've talked to who takes it has said it has really worked nicely for them. But like mentioned above, everyone reacts differently to meds.
Avatar f tn Do you think that will be a long enough taper? I wouldn't waste money on a detox kit. Pick up the stuff in the Thomas Recipe and/or the Amino Acid Protocol and you'll do just as well. I was given Ultram years ago and was told it was "like a narcotic without any of the side effects or dependence issues." I took it for 3 or 4 days and stopped because it made me high as a kite. Blessing in disguise!
901222 tn?1399142874 Lyrica (pregabalin) is a GABA analogue, similar to Neurontin (gabapentin). Even though pregabalin is approved for The results are still out on whether or not people suffer neurological dependance on this medication. People using high doses of pregabalin (> 1000 mg/day) report problems stopping this medication. My attitude about certain reported side-effects, like weight gain, is that I'll never know what they'll do to me until I try.
1227909 tn?1267853479 suboxone and methadone are meant for short term use withdrawal side effects are gone within a month thats all the longer your body needs it zoe - yes treatment is possible at stage 4 - i heard now even with decompensated cirrhosis treatment is possible
1311475 tn?1274198780 I am fearful of going off of the methadone due to the fact that I may use again due to the pain. I should not be in withdrawal since I have tapered myself down to the 60 mg and have been at that dose for quite some time.
Avatar m tn Do you know you are on the social side of this forum. If you go to the top of the page and click on Substance Abuse Community. People seem to respond faster over there. When did you stop taking the Methadone ?
1050179 tn?1253899186 Some pain meds worked but not for long periods of time. The meds for fibro had intolerable side effects for me. I have been on Methadone for 2 years now becuz i became pregnant and stopping pain meds would've put too much stress on the baby. She is 2 years old now.she's happy and healthy! My issue is that I have found out through my experience in taking liquid methadone that it helps my fibro pain for a long period of time..one dose lasts 24hrs!
Avatar f tn t understand, and we are talking 1 page and a half of side effects of suboxone, vs. 1 small paragraph of Bupe alone, subutex. It is not here in Canada, We have a patch that lasts for 7 days with only bupenorphine in it! Very expensive! I actually find the side effects are more tolerable, still they are there! Nonetheless, as said, it beats the brutal, unbearing side effects, of toxic waste = METHADONE! and by the way I am no junkie.
Avatar m tn ve seen of fentanyl detox and my own year long, slow methadone recovery, I think fentanyl and methadone are only different in dosage. The full synthetic nature and side effects of both methadone and fentanyl make them very close tie for the worst detox ever. As I vomit and shat myself in my yard from methadone detox, I remember wishing I was a heroin or any other kind of addict. Anyway, mute point, but wanted to share. How much and how long methadone use have you got under your belt bullseye?
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
Avatar m tn Common side effects of methadone use include the following: Constipation Drowsiness Skin Rash Sweating Water retention Flushing Changes in sex drive or erectile dysfunction Dizziness (especially in the beginning of treatment and especially as a person in methadone maintenance treatment rises from a lying position) Dry mouth I've seen so many friends on methadone that are drowsy all the time, maybe it's the dosage, but the fact is there is a chance of these side effects.
