5155256 tn?1364419296 Does the doc who prescribed the Methadone know you take Klonopin too? Methadone and benzos mixed together is typically not recommended, due to the risk of respiratory depression, and even respiratory arrest. That being said, in some cases, docs will be okay with the combination if the doses are small enough, and if the medications aren't taken all of the time, or are taken short term. This is something you definitely need to discuss with your doctor before mixing them again.
Avatar n tn I take two 5mg opiates oxyconton and methadone twice a day as prescribed by my doctor. Once a week I take a double or triple dose. After I can feel really bad for a month or more. I can't smoke pot during this time also. Anyone heard of this before?
Avatar m tn I have recently quickly transitioned from methadone to suboxone. while on methadone for 10 years I was taking a quite high dose of clonidine for excessive sweating. The doctor told me to continue on the clonidine and we would taper down on that once I was on a stable dose of suboxone. He said there are no harmful interactions between the two. But whenever I take the clonidine it feels like it is kicking me into withdrawal again. severe agitation anxiety racing heart dizziness and double vision.
Avatar f tn theres not alot of dr that are up to speed with drug interactions with methadone though so you might have to do the research yourself...you could try googling it and just weed thew the info you find..good luck and God bless ...
Avatar f tn Yes you can treat while taking it. I am on Methadone for 16 years and have found a doctor who thinks he can get me in a clinical trial The bad thing is that when you take methadone or suboxone they think you will not finish treatment and will relapse and they will not accomplish anything or you will reinfect your self in the future. You can treat successfully it is just getting them to do it and get past the bad feelings for the drugs we are treating with.
1001742 tn?1252685847 it is not advised to take benzos while on methadone..benzos are addictive so often not the best choice..if u r on methadone then tapering off with ur drs help is advisable..ask him for a safe drug to sleep..many use clonidine to help wds and sleep..phenergan is another drug that is not addictive that may help u sleep..talk to ur dr..what is ur current dose of methadone?
216046 tn?1193943404 I agree with this statement. There are no known severe interactions with methadone and Tramodol. I dont understand why you would be withdrwing...could it have been a seperate reaction to the Tramadol? It is highly unlikely . I am sorry you are in so much pain. Methadone isnt effective for treating much with the exception of pain associated with cancer OR the treatment of opiate addiction.
Avatar f tn In 2007, I was hospitalized and dx with GBS. After years of pain meds, I found myself chewing my patch. I started Methadone treatment two years ago and currently & 120mg daily (liquid I divide am/pm @ 60mg). I’ve also been taking Wellbutrin 75mg bid. Interested in Concave for weight loss and help with energy, but noticed interactions. Belviq better?

2054929 tn?1333945870 Therapy for HCV has been successful even when patients have not abstained from continued drug or alcohol use or are receiving daily methadone. Methadone treatment has been shown to reduce risk behavior that can spread HCV or impair adherence to treatment, and it is not a contraindication to HCV treatment. However, current data suggest that elevated levels of HCV replication, caused by opiates and their withdrawal, may impair responses to interferon.
Avatar f tn When I went to the clinic (on methadone 4 years) there were people on both methadone and seraquel. So mixing them is ok for people that are prescribed it. But as kendrika said talk to your doctor forsure! And please tell us why are you on methadone? What dose? Did you start taking them together? Do you still take them together?
Avatar f tn Yes it can be a deadly mixture, but I think if your off methadone you should be ok, so long as your not taking large amounts? Im taking clonidine, which helps & I believe its in the benzo family, as is xanax. Im only gonna stay in clonidine for another two days, then switch over to something more natural, I just dont want to become physically dependent on anything else.

1322157 tn?1279656681 , of the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester Medical Center, an expert on drug interactions, explains that grapefruit juice is one of the foods most likely to cause problems with drugs, because it is metabolized by the same enzyme in the liver that breaks down many drugs. The cytochrome P-450 3A4 enzyme breaks down grapefruit juice into useful components for body, just like it breaks down dozens of medications.
Avatar f tn I take 95mg of methadone a day. I take 8 mg klonipins a day. I also take 1mg xanax as needed. Am I in any danger?
Avatar m tn m only familiar with the interactions of Xanax and methadone. Additional information is needed for you,that combination alone will cause respiratory failure or distress. significant numbers of people who abuse these medications also get involved in the abuse of common prescription substances called benzodiazepines. In a study published in May 2014 in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, researchers from several U.S.
Avatar f tn Hello there, we have been thinking about you! It does not interact, but you are 'wasting' the vics...as methadone is an opiate blocker. If you feel the need to taper of what you have of the methadonde...then use the vics after your wd begin. I am not an advocate for a method like that, but I understand your situation. Hang in there..we will talk soon!

Avatar f tn I just posted the other day that my doctor prescribed me methadone 5mg twice a day. I also have Norco 5-325 for breakthrough pain. I am allowed to take two Norcos. My question is, do you guys think this is a massive jump from taking hydrocodone-containing products on a daily basis? I just tried the medication and I have a fever of 101.4, feeling completely lethargic and falling asleep performing tasks.
Avatar f tn i also take hormones and xanax...i read where alot of my meds have interactions...but pharmisits say its ok.............
