how much does methadone cost on the street

I think you wrote in another thread that you also buy methadone on the street...it gets a little confusing with all the different threads going... If I'm understanding correctly, you were taking high doses of pills every day and you have to buy extra methadone away from the clinic. That makes you unstable right now. You have to talk to the clinic about this because its their job to get you at a comfortable dose and you need to keep yourself safe...

Hey Yall, As most of you know I just started Subutex, I have been doing a lot of thinking about how expensive the doctor visit and the meds are and I'm not sure that I can afford it. The doc visit is $ 150.00 and I pay $ 540.00 for 60 8mg pills . That's what I will have to pay every month. I was just wondering if there was anyway I could go about trying to find a doctor that is not sooo expensive and is it possible for me to switch from one sub doctor to a cheaper one ?

What do you take now? How much per day? How long have you taken it? Have you ever stopped before? Keep posting~ V.

Read all the info on that site. It does cost some money, but no nearly as much as a detox clinic or the cost of the drugs shes paying for now. Suboxone is a very workable option for someone who has failed at cold turkey or tappering. It very well could save her life.

Its very important for one to know, how methadone works, otherwise you can easily buy the farm on this stuff. quite a few stories out there on the internet too, that often tell a tale of some young guy that mistakenly ate a whole waffer, while drinking, never to wake up again. sad, so many people have lost loved ones over this drug, just never knew it was this bad............. heres the link,hopefully it shows up, if not look up GAO methadone study http://www.gao.gov/htext/d09341.

first off dont go to methadone it is pure hell to come off of it cost between 10 and 15 bucks a day depending where you live it is 6mo of going Evey day and no dirty urine test will get you 2 days of take homes as you progress so do the take homes I would have them tweek your sub around b/4 going to methadone and as for the cravings you need to be involved with some form of aftercare will you on sub or methadone to help with that just switching addictions is not a cure for addiction it takes wor

has neone experienced what I have been experiencing I started suboxone tuesday and i feel more messed up on it then i did when i was on lortabs i cant sit down without nodding off im so tired and fuzzy headed

If your living in Cebu , the cost will probably be much less than the states ... probably half or less than the cost of the "average" US cost ..... the $200,000 quoted by nygirl is not even close to the average cost .... It will be much less then the U.S. like all medical treatments in the Philippines.... I think the "help" of the "patient assistance programs" by Roche ... is not likely to happen in a developing nation ...

Depending on income there are free spay/neuter programs. I'd call your local shelter for information. Otherwise it costs between $50 to $200. Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Be sure a cheaper vet is reliable and competent.

With IVF they have you produce the eggs. They retrieve the eggs. Then they put the eggs together with the eggs and then depending on your eggs they will transfer the embryos between 3-5 days. So IVF is more invasive than an IUI. My husband and I can't do IUI because he has the male factor and I have PCOS where I don't ovulate at all so we had pretty much zero chance of getting pregnant on our own.

If you wanted to get high on oxycontin or even street heroin then the best way is to reduce your methadone dose to under 35mg but remember its long half life will keep your tolerance up for a few days more than you would assume.

My insurance probably won't cover thyrogen shots for my year scan and thyroglobulin test. Does anyone know how much 3 shots would cost me??? I don't look forward to going off my meds for several weeks since it took me 7-8 months to finally feel good after my tt. I was on 8 different synthroid doses until we got it right. I'm on 250mcg. I would rather pay for them then be miserable.

The ones covered by insurance we don't see the price they send it straight to the ins. company.

I also live in Toronto Canada and I have paid $6,000 at one clinic and at my new clinic TCART on Bloor street the fee is $5,600 this is without meds just the IVF procedure. Meds can run anywhere from $5,500 and on depending on how much you need. My insurance covered my meds for IVF number 1 and I only have enough money left for 1 more IVF then I'm on my own.

But they last much longer due to the long half-life of methadone. December was pure hell. January I slowly started feeling a bit better. Then on the last day of January I went for a wlak around the neighborhood. Later that night I got severe pain in my lower back left side. I thought I strained a muscle. The pain worsened and spread to my side. I finally had to go to the ER at 4am and was told I have a 6mm kidney stone that was trying to pass.

The short answer is YES, Pete! Methadone is a very effective pain medication when used correctly. Beware though, it is very strong in comparison to Hydrocodone (Lortab/Norco), and somewhat more addictive. I'm not sure of your pain situation (chronic? will you suffer from this for life? ever try yoga?) but I find Methadone to be the most effective pain med I've ever used - the key is the longevity of methadone's action on pain.

u dont want to stay on methadone the rest of ur life...u r in wds...

20mg is not a low dose of methadone.......many researchers indicate that they cannot differentiate the wd's between 30mg of methadone and 3mg of methadone - - its all bad and can last for weeks.......you better learn a lot more before you play doctor - - Methadone is not like other narcotics pills - totally different animal and totally different pharmacology - - better get your advice from someone with experience.........or a Doc....

hi and welcome im currently 27 days clean from methadone and it was tough but you can do it..im sure gnarly and some others will come along with some helpful info but I can tell you what I experienced...the first week is bad it depends on a number of things your dose how long you were on the dose, other meds ect but expect to be pretty sick...if possible try to taper your dose as low as you can I jumped at 10 but others went as low as one and it does seem to make the withdrawl less severe...

t mind me asking y would u want to do tht? I read ur taking subs from the street? R u planning on getting methadone tht way as well? If so its an even worse idea. U are playing with fire and u WILL get burned!! What I would do is find a sub Dr and start the program and take responsibility. Do u want to get clean or do u plan on being on something forever? Methadone is so much harder to come off of than subs.

It s day 2 on suboxone and I can tell a differnce from the methadone. A good difference. But I feel kinda n a fog and a lil tired feeling. I was on methadone for about 2 years then tappered down to 20 mgs. The. Switched to suboxone. Just curious if my symptoms will last or if my body just getting used to this new drug. HAs anyone else gone thru this? I'm at 12 mgs of suboxone I done want to go up maybe I should go down 2 mgs? I'm not sure ne advice would be very helpful.

HI SO your getting your methadone off the street.....I would highly suggest going to the local methadone clinic and tell them you want to taper off......

Hi I'm 6 months post tx and experience various cognitive deficits that slowly destroy my life. I heared about LDN and how it helps with cognitive impairment post interferon. Does someone has any experience about LDN, how it (or if) it helps with focus, abilities to communicate and socialize with others?any advice is welcomed. I'm on methadone at the moment and I will eliminate it for LDN.

tapering comes with its discomforts but im living proof it can be done today I got 150 days clean from a 6 1/2 yr methadone habit .....so just go in and get on the program it will cost you around 60 bucks a week (in Arizona) the price verys from state to state but should be similar....you could be off it in about 4 or 5 mo if you start to taper right away but first they need to stabilize you at a dose that your comfortable with ....good luck and God bless....

Every time I start new meds. it always causes the condition to get really worse, later~ sometimes much later the benefits kick in. The bad side comes before the good one. That's just my experience. Hang on & hopefully you'll improve. Good Luck.

How much methadone were you usually taking a day and for how long? I went c/t off of 25 mgs after being on it for almost 2 years through an clinic.Not going to lie methadone is a beast to come off of.You really just have to hold on tight and dig deep.Keep posting here for support and like others have mentioned,start participating in some type of after care.The more support you can get right now the better off you will be.Hang in there,it takes some time,but it does get better...
