methadone for dogs

As much as I could get. Now I have legal prescriptions for them for pain in my back. I want to get off, and detox myself. Can I do this with methadone. I have about 50 of them and find that taking 1 when I wake up keeps me good until night, then I take a half of one, and a 2 mg xanax. Can i continue this for a week, then cut it down to a half in am and half in pm, then quit completely and use Darvon if needed to detox from the methadone?

Hey, Isn't it insane that the only meds covered for you are indeed the "big dogs"?! I'll tell you, I was prescribed methadone for a year and it was extremely effective. Practically no pain at all-I was able to work and function just fine. It was magical! However, it is a "big dog" with the potential to bite. Once you're on that, nothing else compares. Morphine doesn't work for me either-go figure.

He was referred to a Pain Management Clinic and they prescribed Methadone for his chronic pain. Methadone was the first drug that helped and he was able to walk pretty much pain-free. He has been on Methadone therapy for over a year and a half. He takes takes nine 90 mg tabs each day (3 in the a.m., 3 at noon, 3 at bedtime). After takes these opioid medications for several months (it was been well over two years), he began to feel sleepy during the day.

My husband and I are both on methadone for addiction. I know this stuff messes with your sex drive and much more. I wish I could say its a evil drug and as much as I say that all the time. It has brought us from the bottom. Stealing having sex for money for drugs and doing things I never thought we would do. To a amazing life with great jobs a big house kids back and 2 dogs a brand new car and van so its not so evil to get ducks in a row. And only in 2 years.

Im only taking like 25-30mg of Methadone a day for like 3-4 days!Im o n day 2 and feeling a lil crappy!By thurs or fri i will be going clod turkey,so now what your saying is im going to withdrawl from the Methadone also?????

I was discharged from the hospital at the end of Feb. My Doctor put me on methadone for the pain. The perscription is for one month 8 pills a day. 4 (10 mg) tablets in the morning and 4 (10 mg) tablets in the evening. My concern is addiction. I currently have a vicodin addiction, but since I've been on methadone I don't crave the vicodin and I haven't went through any withdraw symptoms. Can someone give me some insight to what the probability is to me becoming addicted to methadone.?

Sub only makes sense for you as a step down (temporary) from methadone. Methadone as you know is very hard to get off of and even tougher for 18 years but it can be done. It's makes no sense to switch to sub to stay on sub from meth because meth is a better maintenence drug. It makes a lot of sense to use sub for 6-8 weeks as a step down from meth. There are outpatient clinics that specialize in this for methadone patients and give you meds for when you get off the sub.

re not supposed to give tapering advice on here but I have to agree with the above post. Best for me to feel like total crap for a week or two than the feel less crappy for a much longer period. That being said I've read numerous posts on here from people who have been clean for longer that I have that got clean after weaning to a low dose before making the jump.

Sorry, I forgot to ask about methadone for bipolar...I read that methadone can help with this. I'm desparate to help my husband and keep me safe..I don't want to have to file charges against him for threatening me.

HI you can get methadose from a doctor and pick it up at a pharmacy it is methadone in pill form methadone is usually liquid and is dispensed at clinics you have to go every day to get it most doctors cannot prescribe methadone hence why so many go to the clinics this is nasty stuff I was on it 6 1/2 yrs I would run the other way if someone ever offered to me again it is not a way to get around withdrawals methadone withdrawals are some of the worst you can experence your best off to detox wha

5 mg of hydrocodone is equivalent to about 15 mg of methadone. But this is for single dose not for long term pain management treatment. Most physicians beleive in the good practice to start low, go slow. Remember that methadone builds up in your system. It is stored in your body tissues. So it may take days before the full effectiveness of methadone is realized. Methadone levels in the blood will continue to increase for five days from the initial dose.

Hi. I've been on Methadone and Vicadin for chronic pain but decided it wasn't worth being on narcotics. Too many side effects. I slowly titrated for the last couple months. A week ago I took my last Methadone. So last Friday and today is Thursday. And I was taking between 5mg and 10mg per day. I know that doesn't seem like a lot. I went out and stocked up on food and have movies and planned for the withdrawals to set in.

For anyone who has ever taken Methadone for chronic pain management...When you first started taking Methadone, how long did it take for it to control your pain? How many days, weeks, etc.? My best friend was started on Methadone to manage completely debilitating chronic pain that is the result of multiple, major, back-to-back abdominal surgeries. Tonight marks the fourth full day of her being on Methadone, and she's really not feeling any better. How long can it take?

I have been on the methadone for 14 months I am ready to be off it all for sure I will say its been quite the ride with these pain meds I never thought it possible the I would be addicted to anything and even when I was doing 10ml 6x a day or actually two tens every 4hours and 30 milligrams of the morphine 3x a day I was pretty medicated and will say I was starting to abuse them by chewing and taking more than I was supposed to I always told my Dr.

Not towards me. Just other dogs......I thought he was showing aggression towards my daughter, but he was just trying to sniff her crotch! He is gross! I guess that's what dogs do! But, no agression towards us humans, just dogs, which isn't fun....

I had been clean for almost a year. Then had medical problems. Back on the pain pills.. Then went on the methadone to get off them. What a mistake.. Did that for 5 mo's. It has now been 4 weeks no methadone. My question is, Why is it that the pills seem to give you all this life.. Nothing you can not do or get done.. Now I can't seem to even get the bed made or the dogs fed..WTH?? What is this all about..

Boith drugs have a long half life so a long wd period, both drugs are narcotics...sub being the stronger of the two drugs mg for mg. Methadone is approved for pain relief in the US, sub is not. Main thing is she gets clean...neither drug is a miracle worker so if someone tells u so, dont listen.

My sister has been on methadone for over 6 years now. She was busting scripts for percocets several times a day until she got busted. She was taking at least 40 per day. Instead of jail she went into treatment. She still is on a very high dose of methadone, the last time I asked she was at 60mg. There are so many more issues with her treatment I have questions about. How long is methadone maintenance? It appears to me she has replaced her old habit with a legal habit.. I really worry about her.

DOGS CANNOT TAKE DECONGESTANTS!!!! They cannot metabolize them. If your dogs ears are that bad they are in need of antibiotic and antifungals. You can ask your vet to prescribe an antibiotic like cephalexin and an antifungal like fluconazole both which can be called into a walmart in your area and they are on the $4 generic list so it keeps cost down. As for itching they can have antihistamines WITHOUT DECONGESTANTS in them.

As far as I'm aware, benadry is safe for quite a long time in dogs. The general doggy dosage is 1 mg/ per pound, so that's what your vet has prescribed - most people tend to go too low on the dosage. Using it for only the summer months should be no problem at all. I had a dog who needed it a good 8 months or more of every year and it never caused any trouble. Hope it works well for your Bostie!

Are there painkillers for dogs that are safe? Tramadol caused my 11 year old chow chow Emily to have seizures after two days 4 pills and the Rimadyl side effects I just read here are equally as bad. Both were give to her by her vet of six years. If anyone has any ideas please contact me at ***@****. Thank you.

my 41/2 old pup had a hernia repair and spay. she came home with a bottle of tramadols 50mg. i didn t know dogs could take them esp a pup. i don t think she needs them cos she s running around and eating well. i ve had other dogs that have had surgeries and they have never been given pain meds. i just find this strange........
