Avatar m tn Hi Ftmill I do not know about that I hope some other guys will chime in but I'm about 3 months I have been in a energy crash these last couple of days I thought I was thru but just caught a upwind I guess. The energy crash is real for the methadone. I sure hope that you catch a good wave for a few days to give you a break.

Avatar f tn I just joined this group right now. Nice to meet you. What was/is your addiction? I was addicted to IV injection Dilaudid for 4 years until my doctor fired me for dropping dirty. Then i switched over to heroin. I've been on the methadone program for 2 months now. It's nice not being dopesick, but i still have intense and tortchurous cravings EVERY day.

1800740 tn?1324237171 I have been using methadone (30 mg per day) for the past 4 years. I'm not on it for pain. I get it off the street. I have an appt. with suboxone doctor at the end of this month. 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 f tn If I’m using opiates all the way up to the date of my sublicade (buprenorphine) injection will I have side effects from the existing opiates in my system combined with the large amount of bup
Avatar f tn As I do not want to go to the ER because there answer is to just give me a injection of methadone and I will not take that anymore. I dont want to end up back at square one. I know this will not last forever though. Also what other options are there for people like me who have chronic pain. Without being put on anymore drugs that cause addiction.
Avatar f tn Has any one here been on antidepressants while on methadone? Alot of drugs for fibro and arthritis are blocked by the methadone, so I am hoping the antidepressants could do their job while I treat for hep c. I am on 120 MG at this time, coming down from 160 in a year. Feedback welcome!
733362 tn?1489794936 Down to 2mg now and anxiety is terrible. I got a Kenalog injection Nov 5th and have been feeling really funny since. Reading about this steroid a lot of the side effects are the same as Benzo w/d,, Anxiety, trouble sleeping, heart palps, numbness, etc. They say that the effects of 40 to 60mg can last for MONTHS. Great, that's just what I needed. I'm sure it has made my taper a lot harder than it needed to be. I have done some research on this Doctor.
Avatar f tn I am not going to give you hell just truth because I am on methadone and have been 10 months and w/d from methadone is worse than sub any day i have w/d from sub and methadone i would take sub w/d over methadone anytime sorry not much help
Avatar n tn I started getting them about 18 months ago because of chronic pain and after detoxing myself from methadone with Gods help ( that was hell ). I want off all pills especially hydro because even though they are good for pain if you can control them ( I can't ) . My question is, is withdraw from hydrocodone as bad as methadone?
182884 tn?1259312906 I hurt my back in 1999 and was laid off work in 2000 and have not worked since. I am now 58 years old and on Social SEcurity and SSI..I have also been on Methadone for pain since 2004. I also have facet pain and Sacroliac pain. For the last nine months or so, my hips esp my left hip has been causing a lot of pain and I at long last got a X-ray a couple of weeks ago and am scheduled now for MRI on May 1st. Can anyone explain what this may mean or any other possibilites please.?
Avatar n tn methadone helps with withdrawal, cravings, and helps you lead a normal life if you take it the way you are suppose to. Some people abuse methadone but if you go on the methadone treatment thinking this will get me high too then it's not going to work. If you take the methadone, go to treatment, meetings, group therapy, seeing a therapist then it will work for you. i'm on suboxone it's like methadone, and doing everything i just mentioned and so far it's working.
Avatar f tn All he wants to do is all these procedures, lumbar injections, epidurals etc and very little meds, The last doc I was seeing had me on 120 mg per day methadone and 90 mg per day oxycodone. This guy is giving me 20 mg methadone a day and 7.5 mg percocet 1 @ 4xpday which just makes my stomach sick so I cant even take it. He does not want to listen to me on what I was on before . I am in so much pain.
Avatar n tn I told my former addictions Dr. that I've been taking Methadone (10-20mg) for the last 5 weeks... I was expecting him be angry with my actions, esp. the fact I've obtained them illegally. He was was fine with it! Other than breaking the law of course, he said had I gone to a methadone clinic as I'd planned, I'd be up to 150mg my now. He said it'd have taked a year to get off it. He was happy I haven't used vics for over a month.
Avatar f tn of course she wants meth.....it's legal dope.......meth should only be used for folks that will never be able to get off hard drugs-----folks who will get theirs from the street if they can't get the methadone......has daughter looked into any of the other programs out there? the 12 step? does she seem invested in getting off?
Avatar n tn Also what is the treatment for the liver disease. My husband also is a diabetic(2 different injection a day) He is on depressants, also methadone 80mg. They told him that drinking, diabetes & the hep c is what caused the liver disease. He has not drank for at least 10-12 years( he is 44yrs old now) in his 20's he drank all the time and would throw up and continue to drink until he threw up again. When i met him(1990) he had already started to slow down(just weekends).
Avatar f tn especially when it comes to methadone or subs. Methadone and suboxone both have good points but they also have bad ones. I detoxed off of subs in jan, 2014, and im here to tell u it was the worst detox ive ever done in my life. I am at 6 1/2 months and im still dealing with certain aspects of getting off those things. Unless u can find a good sub dr that has a very short term program like 3 months, then i would just w/d off of h. The h w/d is 5/7 days. Sun w/d is minimum 21 days!
1386425 tn?1280119158 i cant tell his doctor bc honestly idk wat he would do and we dont have insurance to pay for a methadone clinic...anyways he recently started having uncontrolable shakes and tonite was particularly worse...i thought he was screwing with me bc he was great all day...then i heard that mixing hydros n soma cause muscle skeletal problems...really idk wat could b wrong he wont let me call the er...he says hes fine...he also told me his incision started bleeding some today...
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.
Avatar n tn I am a 52 yr. old female and i just had surgery on my lower back to numb a few of my lower back nerves. Well this procedure seemed to kind of work for a couple of days and then back came the pain and it is worse this time It is almost unbearable and it is connstant, It hardly ever lessens up.I am on methadone for the pain but that doesn't work. I just lay in bed in excruciating pain .
