Methadone dosing chart
Common Questions and Answers about Methadone dosing chart
methadose
i cant remember which but either avisg or worried has the chart in their jpurnals. i dont know a site for it though.
I have even lowered and started taking half of my abilify and split dosing my methadone and I have been able to function much better and much lower feeling of drowsiness through the day. I also have tired to go a day and a half without abilify and noticed restless legs. You would think its withdrawal from methadone because as addicts or simply using opiates you would feel this as a withdrawal symptom, but it's actually from the ablilfy because restlessness is a side effect.
I was all ready feeling the withdrawals from the Methadone. It took about a week of dosing to feel ok but it was doable. My doctor told me I should have titrated down to 20 mgs before switching. After a month on Subutex i switched over to Suboxone. My insurance company recently took Suboxone off of the preferred list and replaced it with Zubsolv. I deciding if I want to to switch to Zubsolv. Good Luck.
ve been on methadone through a treatment facility and there are lots of women that are on methadone as well that just had babies recently and a girl that I have seen that is pregnant now many months into her pregnancy and she is still dosing methadone. So safely you can do it under a Drs care of course. Good luck..

Hi there & congrats on your pregnancy,
As Nursegirl pointed out, Methadone is the maintenance drug of choice for expectant mothers. What you're experiencing is pretty common. The baby is 'consuming' part of your dose. So, that's where the discomfort is coming from. It makes total sense (& is standard in these cases) that your clinic doesn't want to raise you (130mgs is a high enough dose) but would prefer to try split dosing.
I have been on Methadone for 6 years now. I got serious about getting off all drugs in Dec of 2005, besdies Methadone. I then decied to detox from that starting in late 2007. I have gone from 100mg down to 5mg, back to 10mg for two months and then slowly down to 5mg again. I have been feeling just fine and then the disaster of all disasters happened. I went to get my 6 take homes for the week, ALMOST done with methadone forever.
PLEASE someone, tell me exactly how I should do this. I schedule a chart anything. Also, should I taper a little, would that help? When I stop taking the Suboxone, how bad is those WD? Thank you so much in advance for any help!! I do NOT ever get high on oxy, just take them to maintain. I hate them and you would never even knew I was on them, like a lot of you I am sure!! Thanks!!!
Well, I ended up waiting it out through a very restless night and so I had by this morning gone 50 hours without methadone. I was so scared to risk precipitated withdrawals from dosing with subutex too early. At 7am I took 1mg only and although it relieved my aching legs I still didn't feel very well so 3 hours later I had another 1mg and feel just fine now.
My husband attends a methadone program and is currently on 40 mg so he says but i know he is in a higher dosage, I need to know how can i help him get off the methadone, i am clean never used a day in my life and this is why we are having issues its like he wants to to get off but he is always putting excuses like its not easy you dont know what its like to be an addict and so forth please help any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
hi, my husband is on 60mg of methadone (pill form) a day for chronic back pain. He's been on this regimen for 4 years now. If he runs out of his pills before he gets the new script how long will the last dose of methadone stay in his system and how quickly will the "dt's" start? I am asking because the doc had to resched his appt and he might run short and want to be prepared.
t want to be dependent on another drug when im done with the methadone. I was planning on dosing to 3mg then 2mg then 1mg being on each for 4 weeks. I am wondering what to expect from here and how I will feel when im actually down to 0mg. How long will it take to feel normal? Will the neurotin be enough to sustain the withdrawal?
where as with methadone u can go up and up on dose..sub is not like that..it has a ceilingeffect and no more...most doctors rx this drug way over the ceiling effect....for just about anyone 8 mgs is the strength that can cover drugs..after that poeple r using pshycoligicaly. 4 mgs covers most habits....
