methadose

396099 tn?1216254986 It is amazing the amount of methadone some people require and size seems to have nothing to do with it. BUT...I feel that people are best treated with methadone in smaller doses....but I am no doctor...I think I have done more research on methadone than alot of them! Best of luck, everything I have ever written pertains to methadone...so please check out my journals. Keep posting.
Avatar m tn If we knew what type of drugs and how much he was taking PRIOR to the methadone we may be able to give you an educated guess.The fact is though the dosage amount of the methadone is not really the issue here.The fact that your son is still very much in active addiction and playing a deadly game with some fatal combinations is the real issue.You can't blame his behavior on the methadone,thats not what is doing this.
Avatar f tn My husband took 10mg methadone everyday for that last 3 years and has cut back to 5mg the last 3 days. he wants to quit but is nervous about if he is going to have withdrawl symptoms. His use is recreational and all the places ive called seem like they are just for money. He would prefer to detox at home and thinks if he just cuts back he will be fine. If he was only on 10mg will it be that bad for him? Any advice would be great.
Avatar n tn My girlfriend overdosed on methadone and Xanax about 3 weeks ago we fell asleep and I woke next to her she was blue and small amount of vomit and soiled herself rushed her to the hospital and wasn't able to get much info as to her condition as her parents had me removed however she did recognize me when she saw me and I know she had some memory loss I have not been in contact with her in approximately 3 weeks I am very concerned as to her condition and what therapy she will have to under go
Avatar m tn I agree! My last doc had me take 1/4 of one 8mg and waited 15 minutes then checked my vitals till I wasn't in w/d. Everyones different! And if u had methadone or other pills in your system you should've waited at least 36 hrs till u dosed on suboxone! It can put u straight into withdrawl! But listen stay on a very low dose and get off of them in a couple weeks! You can get hooked to them too!
Avatar n tn What was your intial drug of choice that you used before methadone? Are you taking the methadone as a substitute drug, for pain or just recreational? Only reason I ask is because you said you may want to try something else, another opiate or a different anti-depressant. I know how eventually with methadone you begin to feel like your stuck in a rut, feeling ashamed and guilty. For me the best way to get better has always been to get off the opiates I was taking.
Avatar f tn Since I took that Suboxon today should I not take any methadone tomorrow (also something I only occassionally do ).
Avatar f tn Then it started everyday. The only thing i did that may have helped is i never kept upping the dosage. I Stayed around 5-8 (10/325) per day. I've had 18+ surgeries on knees & back & never ONCE did i keep using past the doc's rx. Then i got a backache two years ago. I know it happens but its hard for me to wrap my mind around people using who have no pain to begin with. At 44 i freely admit at the time i said F'it im tired of hurting all the time.
1800740 tn?1324237171 Can you tell me what milligram dosage suboxone he will prescribe for a 30 mg per day methadone user. Suboxone is very expensive & if I need more than 8mg per day I can't afford it in addition to the cost of the dr. visits.
Avatar n tn http://www.uroweb.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Guidelines/2005ErectileDysfunction.pdf I just have a few questions; Does erectile problem happen at least 25 per cent of the time? Do you still experience night time erections? I suggest that you seek consult with your neurologist so that you may be thoroughly assessed.
Avatar f tn I have been taking this dosage for about 2 years. I Have taken the oxycontin for two weeks then the methadone for two weeks. I never take them together on the same Day .....never. which one should I stop taking all together first??? I want off these pills. HELP!!
Avatar n tn Also, is there a way to tell (by examination or labs done by a physician) of someone is a recreational user of any of the above drugs vs addiction or long time user? I hope someone can help answer these questions or direct me to another site!!
Avatar n tn I hope your mom is Ok. I know what you're going through. Others on this site have more experience than I do with Methadone and I don't know the toxcology numbers associated with Methadone. Please know you can ask any question and everyone her is extremely helpful and understanding. Please let us know how you are doing.
Avatar n tn was taking up to 10 - 10mg (a day) of anything and everything I could get my hands on, i.e., vicodins, oxycotin, methadone, dilaudid, percs, etc. This habit was formed over the period of a year. The W/D's were horrendous, as many of you know. I couldn't function AT ALL for at least two weeks, even by a month out it was still pretty bad. Anyhow, within the last 6 months I relapsed and began taking oxy's and vicodin again.
Avatar n tn I cant find any info re: a methadone patch
2008432 tn?1327873760 t think that the methadone will help with the mental part of it. It is really hard to come off of methadone. I do have experience with that. It takes at least 90 days just to get past the worse parts of it. More drugs do not help the psychological part of addiction in my opinion. Sounds to me like you need either NA or counseling. I don't mean to sound curt, but I wanted to respond before going to bed. Best of luck to you.
Avatar m tn ether one will get you there methadone is not a get out of jail free card it has its vices now if your slamming heroin its better then that but what is really going to change your life is aftercare I use N/A and A/A 5yrs6mo ago to break free from alcohol weed and everything else recreational for my methadone addiction a substance abuse conslor has been the right fit I will be a yr clean in 7 days from methadone you need to treat the illness or your just going to stay on the mery go round going f
1502361 tn?1290540230 THAT IF YOU DRINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE IN SAME TIME WHEN YOU DRINK YOUR DOSAGE OF METHADONE (METADON) HCL IT BECOMES MORE POTENT...IDK...DO YOU KNOW ?? === And my plans for Methadone are long,i think ,and I was adviced at my sessions that Methadone therapy should be long-lasting because long use of opiates (esspecially heroin) leads to brain chemistry disorder and disorder in it's biological sense.
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.
Avatar m tn i really dont have the answers to your specif questions, but i did want to let you know, you are playing a dangerous game. i hope you wake up and stop the recreational use before you find its too late. it will sneak up on you and usually by the time you figure out you have a problem it is a full blown addiction and completely in control of you. good luck and keep reading the post here to get an idea of how the oxys will take over your life.
Avatar n tn I took 1/8 of the docs recommended initial dosage of methadone and decided it was just too intense for me. I've tried neurontin and all the other non-narcotic meds for neurogenic pain but they only make things worse. At this point the only meds that help are ativan and, if things are really bad, vicodin, which I use very infrequently because I understand it can be as addictive as methadone.
Avatar f tn Buprenorphine (Suboxone) was developed as an alternative to methadone that would be equally effective in treating opiate addiction but less likely to be abused. But Baltimore officials say that an underground market for the drug has developed, leading to "bupe" abuse and some deaths, the Baltimore Sun reported Dec. 16. Unlike methadone, buprenorphine can be prescribed by individual doctors or group practices, not just distributed at treatment clinics.
1436330 tn?1284666036 Yes,just follow the directions on the box/bottle. Wait a bit for relief...if it's not working take another dose. Just don't over do it! It shouldn't take much...
Avatar m tn Please get informed before you use subs. I hate to hear someone take a drug and THEN ask, "What's gonna happen?" I hope you are okay. Depending do dosage, it can take 3 days without methadone to induce subs. As a methadone addict, I can't even imagine precipitated withdrawal from that med. Let us know how you are.
