Avatar f tn oxygirl487 - The last time i was prescribed the percs was over 5 months ago - I had 3 leftover and so took them while tapering over the last 4 days. I think I was so busy doing 80's that the percs just weren't good enuf for us. I'm a pill snob I s'pose .. lol. Anyway - since my last prescription out habit increased dramatically - I'm past needing methadone and valium but have a bf who's quitting too.
917008 tn?1251223979 I got lucky(?), and have an appointment Monday morning with a sub/meth clinic -- they want me to lay off on Sunday, and show up in early w/d's for a 2-hr assessment, followed by dose. I got a very graphic tale of someone who lied about their last dose, and the immediate full-blown w/d's the misinformationist went into, so I got the point. Please, sub (including ex-) users, state your case, the good, the bad, and the ugly -- I thank you in advance.
Avatar n tn With the amount of oxy he was taken sub might not work, the dose can only go so high and then it actually acts as anti-opiate, the oens used in overdoses, whereas methadone is a full agonist and you can go higher and higher whatever you need to make you comfortable and stable. both give you a mild buzz, and both are complete hell to get off of. sub is just as hard no matter what anyone else says. its just as hard as methadone, its opiate withdrawal times two months. it *****.
Avatar f tn I was still undetectable at last PCR labs....treated about 12 years ago - Take the valium and methadone. And good luck to you..
Avatar f tn Be very carefull. valium is a benzo, and the mixture between methadone and benzos are a deadly one. Please please please tell him to stop!!!!!!
Avatar f tn I'm not sure that suboxone is the correct route for you to be honest. What worries me is the dose of valium that you're taking per day. You can't quit that cold turkey as it will cause seizures and could actually harm you. Methadone and suboxone aren't quit fix w/d meds is the deal. You can't take them for a few days during the w/d and then just put them down, they don't work like that.
Avatar f tn It came up positive for benzos(Valium,Xanax,etc...). They do not tolerate u taking benzos and methadone,b/c obviously it is extremely dangerous. So they dropped me from 150mgs to 70mgs, which will for sure put me in withdrawal within the next 2days. I told the doctor it had been almost a month ago since I had taken this valium, and he might as well as called me a liar. We all know being drug addicts predisposes us to be liars also.
Avatar f tn ya know we are are not suppose to give taper advice but I would taper the methadone first as the Valium will help with the adjustments. Once off this I would work on the Valium it is a long slow taper like the methadone. the cigs I can not advice as I still smoke. I just want you to know you have been heard and will find a good niche here as we have many members that are going through the same thing.. Congrats on reaching out and making a decision.. keep posting .
Avatar m tn hey dude be really careful mixing methadone and valium its a deadly combo and if you mess up you dont get a second chance...good luck with your withdrawal its tuff but it is doable you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile but it only last a few days then you will be thew the worst of it hang in there ......
1953043 tn?1324796310 Hi everybody and Merry Christmas by the way, I just want to ask , is it easier to come off valium than xanax or does it depend on the person or what, Right now I'm on Methadone for pain, (Arthritis and bone spurs in feet) and xanax for stress at my job, I'm out of work right now so I desperately want off the xanax then eventually the methadone, any advise?
Avatar m tn When I jumped off methadone at 30mg, 10 days later I was in the ER in atrilfibralation and detoxing.They electrocardioverted me back into sinus rythumn heart beat,I dont want to end up there agian,at least for awhile. Does anyone have suggetions regarding tappering off diazapam ?thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn klonopins are really potent .25mg=10 mgs valium and .
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I think the methadone withdrawals are better but the Valium and OxyContin withdrawals are horrible! Can't sleep or eat and the anxiety is crazy. Need advice for sleep, I have tried meditation, journaling, reading NA material, hypnosis cd, sleepy time tea, 150 mg trazadone 2 benedryl and a melatonin, calling others in recovery. I am on day 5 of no sleep. My record is 9 daysin a row. About days 5 or 6 my sight starts to act strange the carpet starts waving like water.
Avatar m tn ive been taking methadone and valium and efforexor everyday and ahve beeem experensing bad memeroy loss also been smoking weeed
1216595 tn?1284933208 It seems as if yur not on them long enough to really give you a chance, and taking you off 40mg of valium and methadone in 2 weeks is far to quick no wonder you relapsed. Ill help in any way i can as i know about these drugs and we are in the same country virtually so i know the way our drs work and all about your meds. You can get in touch anytime m8, id be glad to help.

Avatar f tn I'm on methadone mantinece and xanax 1mg 2x a day and they just did a test and sent out for breakdown, they are telling me valum came up in the test and i have NO clue why, someone please explain why this could have happened?
5775599 tn?1452749281 BTW My clinic with my permission talked to my doctor about the methadone and valium and I was told it would all be okay. I got my last (3rd month of taking it) script for it yesterday. Is it a coincidence, and is this a normal thing or did my clinic get him to take me off? Opinions? Sorry so much. I'm just spinning. OH... And will Suboxone make me tired. Will it Just make things worse for me?
Avatar m tn I have been on methadone for about 6 months and I am starting to detox myself from 60mg. The thing is I got a script of valium to help with the withdrawls. That is a no no at my clinic. I am worried about losing my take homes. I got a bottle of urine from a friend that is on the clinic. I was wondering if there was a way they could tell that it wasn't mine.(temp.,the amount of time I held on to it, etc.
472139 tn?1211332563 Using a benzo to detox from opiates is very helpful. If you're on short acting opiates, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and hydromorphine, you can get through this in a week and feel 80% better on day 7 than you did on day 2. After this you'll see a steady improvement everyday. With longer acting drugs, methadone, suboxone, and time released forms of the aforementioned drugs, day 3 thru 10 suck mainly because of no sleep.
480448 tn?1426948538 Sounds like they are shooting in the dark. She is on Valium and give her methadone. We know these are both CNS and respiratory depressants why would a doctor combine them? Did she try tapering off them? How many mgs is she on?
1800740 tn?1324237171 Went to sub dr. today. Good news - he says with my insurance subs will be $50 a month. I have to pick a day for induction. He says the longer I go without methadone before "induction day" the easier it will be. My question (that I forgot to ask him) is can I take anything like Valium or nausea pills those 3-4 days while I'm going without methadone before my induction? Or will this make me sicker on induction day?
Avatar m tn Hi, I can't answer sorry, I never had a problem with methadone. But 2 is very low compared to 200mg. Good on you for lowering your dose to 2. You may still have withdrawal but how extreme or not all depends on your body. Just get Clonidine and valium and take them together only when you absolutely have to, and don't use the meds any longer than 10-14 days. And only use when you do decide to withdrawal. Go lower if possible with your methadone before stopping.
1800740 tn?1324237171 I think you should start CT earlier then that. Methadone has a very long half-life and you will not even start feeling the withdrawals until you stop for at least a day and a half or more. Plus, don't they drug test you on induction? It stays in urine for days. So better start now. Valium can help, but it is also addictive and withdrawals from that can cause seizures. So, don't take too much if at all.
539133 tn?1225032001 You are coming off of steet dope and took methadone and valium? Those drugs are probably why you have not had withdrawl and it should be here by now. Heroin is a lot tougher than vicodin.
Avatar f tn s just a boy ,I feel like banging my head of a brick wall,I moved to Southern Ireland when he was nine and I did get him diagnosed there but after diagnose he had to wait two years to see someone,he moved bk to Scotland nd seems to have fallen through the net ever since, from being in care to prison ,he started using Valium when he was 15 and was then put on methadone 3 years ago ,on Valium he goes so chaotic that he ends up taking anything nd everything till he passes out,a few wks ago he overd
