Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and vomiting

methadose

1264367 tn?1408104163 I have gastroparesis, and GERD, and am on methadone maintenance. I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.
4407520 tn?1363011865 I was on methadone for a few years I started having episodes of vomiting and pain I got diagnosed with gastroparesis it was horrible I stopped taking methadone and I haven’t had a symptom since
Avatar n tn But I have been experiencing extreme vomiting and sweating associated with methadone and I am unable to find a doctor in Oklahoma who will help me! So if there is anybody who has experienced something similar PLease HELP! I never want to return to the hell on earth I experienced with opiates!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Hallucinations, nausea and vomiting and more.
Avatar f tn GoingTo MakeIt is correct it can be mild or severe, from my own personal experience during my detox from methadone, it was bad during the first two weeks, but I still functioned, as best as I could anyway, I tapered down from 90mgs down to 2mgs then stopped, my symtoms were like many who stop methadone, no energy, depression, bad anxiety, couldnt sleep, sneezing, etc. It has been 2 1/2 months since being off methadone & I am back to my pre-methadone days, & very happy about my success!!!
Avatar n tn Sneezing is a sign of withdrawals, also bad sleep patterns, eating problems, seizures, low birth weight, dirrhea, vomiting, tremors, high pitched cry, and nasel congestion. There is alot more signs. You can look up signs for NAS online. I would consult the doctor that is caring for your baby. They should be able to tell you if it is withdrawals or just the cold. Good Luck and I hope your baby feels better soon.
Avatar m tn I ran out of my methadone lastnight and my doctor gave me a 13 count script for methadone and told me to wait until monday to fill my reg. script of 360 monthly. I love methadone for the chronic back pain it's the best thing in the world for chronic lower back pain but once you get on it , it is so hard to get off of it. I dont know why my doctor didnt put me on neurontin sooner it really does help the W/D alot.
Avatar n tn Check out the Thomas Recipe and The Amino Acid Protocol on the bottom right of your screen --- almost all of us who have gone through the W/D process say this really helped them. Hope you will stick around and post -- What is your drug of choice - how much and how long. There is lots of advice, help, and support here -- take advantage of it. All the best.
Avatar f tn Good for you for making it through the methadone w/d.I am tapering off methadone and am at 12ml. Doctor offered me sub,but said no.The way he described it to me a person must be down to 30ml of methadone for sub to work because it has a low ceiling.Meaning that no amount of sub can work for someone at 50ml of methadone. Hope all goes well for you,methadone is a piece of Sh#%@#.
Avatar f tn Hi Trissy while I was in dialysis I was using 2 senna twice a day w/meals 1 stool softener 3x a day and Miralax powder mixed with water at night. This helped with the binders and the methadone.
Avatar f tn I was taking more or less 200mg of methadone and used subutex to detox. I switched to hydros for 4 days, then waited 24hrs, and induced with subs. So, are the PW over yet, usually about a 24hr experience. The PAWS of methadone is likely the major symptoms you are experiencing at this point. Hang in there, give us more info. Lots of folks willing to do what they can. keep posting.
Avatar m tn Also, about your other question, I think it's because methadone has such a long half-life and it's the only drug that stays in your fat cells, muscle tissue, things like that. Most drugs are processed through the liver and then taken out of the body the natural way. Any addictive medication is going to stick around somewhere but for some reason methadone binds to anything and builds up and builds up. That's the best way I could interpret what my psychiatrist told me.
135222 tn?1210432488 I start tapering off methadone in two days and am scared and excited at the same time. Excited because I am taking control of my life again and scared because of all the horror stories I have heard. I also feel like I am about to breakup with a longtime girlfriend. Methadone has always been there for me for the last six years come rain or shine. I always knew that at 2pm I would take my dose and be feeling fine for the rest of the day. I dont know what I am going to do without it?
Avatar f tn I started going to a clinic 7 days ago to seek help for Hydrocodone withdrawals. I had been on Hydrocodone for about 4 years and my new Dr felt Methadone would help. Day one they gave me 30mg. I could not function and I was very sick, vomiting, etc. I told them that was too high that I wanted no more than 10-15 mg per day. I was a little shocked at their encouraging people to take high doses and increase 5 mg per day.
580938 tn?1217952511 I have been using suboxone instead of methadone though and have been clean for 4 years. I have had chronic constipation since the age of 8 but I do know that methadone and suboxone cause constipation. However, I have recently been having horrible swelling of the stomach and discomfort accompanied by rotten egg smelling burps and gas. It's possible that drugs have ruined my body, but this is something that is quite recent...does anyone or have you had this issue?
3105263 tn?1363137225 I have a terrible time with nausea and vomiting ever since doing a long taper off a ton of narcotics for pain. Even now I wind up throwing for a few days every few weeks. (I was in pain management and was tired of all the drugs, the side effects, etc. Never went on methadone, thankfully, but Fentanyl was tough to come off.) I wound up in the ER twice with dehydration. I've found popsicles can sometimes help with dehydration.
Avatar f tn I have 6 years clean and my husband and I hardly ever have sex. Him and I work full time, have 2 kids and still I deal with judgement! It was hard to say what I thought happened and then to be treated like I was crazy for thinking that. I wanted to share my experience for others to know and to not have to go through what I did. Unbelievable how sick I was.
1369723 tn?1278305590 It is my 29 year old son who is going through withdrawals right now..I feel so helpless..I don't know what to do..He has been on Tramadol for 2 years. In the beginning a Dr prescribed. Then, he started getting them over the internet, and taking 15-20 a day. He finally decided last week he's finished. His life has been in a downward spiral since the first pill. He can no longer do any of the things he used too. Motocross was his life. He hasn't been on the bike in a very long time.
Avatar n tn Yes what Map said is true,I am a user,Except the itching and vomiting are usally Beginer users,I've been using for 3 years and itching and vomiting stoped along time ago.But if he bearly started using.YES he will be itching alot,especially his face and nose,and at night in bed even more,also the trouble peeing..
Avatar m tn the same thing can happen when starting methadone if you don't have much of a tolerance
Avatar f tn Gonna tell you what meds I take and when I take them so you all can give me your input and opinions. Take methadone 60mgs at 9am every am, visterall 200mgs 9am,1pm,6pm. Propranolol 80mgs 9am and 9pm, Klonopin 2mgs only for panic attacks. About 11/2 weeks ago stopped clonodine 0.3mgs took a lot of them when I had them. So now I wake up and instantly start sweating and don't stop sweating until 10pm at night.
Avatar n tn I have just got done withdrawing from a constant 60 mg dose of methadone. The cold sweats diarea shakes and vomiting. Will last about 3 days. After that he wont beable to sleep for a mounth. But after that he will feel like a brand new person. DONT LET HIM GET ON METHADONE OR SUBOXIN!
4833242 tn?1359860948 You will likely develop a fever, severe depression, a general weakness and lack of energy, and be unable to sleep despite excessive yawning. Stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting are also common as is excessive sweating, muscle pain and twitching, irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure." http://www.rehabinfo.net/opiate-detox/opiate-addiction-withdrawal-symptoms/ ____________________________________________________________ Lets see, when I kicked...on the 34th hour I was really cold.
Avatar f tn What happens if you take 169mlg of methadone and about 1/2 hr, later you take 10mg of soboxone? I feel like I am physically very weak, like I am going through withdrawls. I don't know how to stop this feeling? Do I take more Methadone? What about Percocet? Would that help or hurt at this point. Do I have to just ride it out?
Avatar f tn I went to walmart and got vitamins and fruits and everything. Even got a small appitite last night but threw up the apple i ate soon after. I want to take the vitamins to heal faster but my body wont allow me to put anything in it! I appreciate any advice....oh im coming off methadone as of Dec 27th.
Avatar m tn Panic, heart racing, vomiting, headache, cold, hot, brain zaps to name a few. Have been reading alot of this and it looks like it's the norm for this demon drug. Anyone else going thru this right now? I feel so alone.
Avatar f tn I'm on methadone and oxycodone for my pain. what's wrong with methadone? Is it the stigma that it's only for heroin addicts? If so that's sad that people can still be so judgemental and ill informed, especially in this day and age..
Avatar f tn Thought I had herniated disk again. Finally found hydromyelia in middle of back. Only think that helps is ibprofin and ice and my methadone. They have checked me for MS and ALS. I just had another MRI with contrast. Could this be from my lumbar surgery? I have DDD which I know common with back issues. I also know that my breathing issues are Probaby from smoking. At what point do they take this more seriously.
