Methadone nausea
Common Questions and Answers about Methadone nausea
methadose
This continued for several months with the attacks of nausea occurring weekly. When I quit smoking pot the attacks stopped and the nausea only occurred occasionally.
I finally tied the attacks to most all street drugs and some prescription and over the counter drugs. So as long as I was very careful of what I took for minor pains and cold symptoms I was ok. Until now. The attacks of nausea have returned, almost daily and the nausea never stops. I don’t know what to do.
I've had hepc for 39 years and nausea was never a symptom. Perhaps in the acute stage nausea may be occur but with chronic hepc people don't generally complain of nausea unless maybe cirrhosis is present. I do not think hepc is causing the nausea. I would consult with a doctor to rule out intestinal problems and request something for anxiety.
Hi Usertolong:) When I was on methadone I did a long and slow taper. I didn't have a bad withdrawal experience at all. I was a heroin user before so I like you worried about the detox being like that. I was taking methadone for pain at 30ml. I tapered long and slow over years and had no withdrawal symptoms. I also talked with my doctor she prescribed clonadine and nausea medication. My psychiatrist has me taking a antidepressant, mood stabilizer and a low dose benzo.
I suffer from chronic back neck and hip pain from a car accident and have fibromyalgia and vicodin doesnt work any more so now i need to find a doctor who will write for methadone pills not liquid and a monthly script not daily clinic in mass please help me
GoingTo MakeIt is correct it can be mild or severe, from my own personal experience during my detox from methadone, it was bad during the first two weeks, but I still functioned, as best as I could anyway, I tapered down from 90mgs down to 2mgs then stopped, my symtoms were like many who stop methadone, no energy, depression, bad anxiety, couldnt sleep, sneezing, etc. It has been 2 1/2 months since being off methadone & I am back to my pre-methadone days, & very happy about my success!!!
Hi everyone, I posted on the weekend and only got one response so I am posting again, I know that the weekends are slow, people are out and about doing their thing. I am on methadone and have been tapering since the summer of 2010 and now down to 22mgs. I am dropping my dose by 1mg/week. I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms which scares me because at this rate I still have 5 months to go to get off, that is if I am able to maintain dropping one mg/week.
As with heroin and all other opiates, methadone tolerance and methadone dependence usually develop with repeated doses. Tolerance to Methadone administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks of use; whereas respiratory depression, sedation, and nausea can be seen immediately.
Hey Yall,
I want to tell all of you that I could never have made it thru these last 10 days without yall.. For that I am forever greatful.. I took my last dose of methadone 10 days ago and started on Subutex. For the past 4 nights I have not been able to sleep. I am not in withdrawls anymore I just cant go to sleep. It's like when I finally get to lay my head down my mind wont stop going 90mph. I am also very very very emotional but that only really bothers me at night too.
Hi there, I am tapering down from methadone, was at 130mgs two years ago, and am currently at 41mgs, now tapering 2mgs/ week. I know this is a low and slow taper but still I am not feeling so great. I keep getting hot flashes, nausea and going hot and cold, it's uncomfortable. My methadone doctor suggested clonidine for these symptoms, I know some of you have tried it and I was wondering if it helps much, and is it worth even taking? Thanks for your responses...
I am one month into the process and I taking 1/3 of my prior methadone dose. I am now starting to have increasing sweats, chills and nausea. I can only hope that I will see this through to the end.
I had tried gabapentin years ago and found that I was so sleepy I could not function. I think the physician had not considered a low enough dose of methadone and probably too high a dose of gaba and the combination resulted in me sleeping 20 hours a day.
Ok- I just learned that my mother who is diagnosed with hep c, end stage renal disease, receives dialysis 3x a week and is a methadone patient (100mg per day) has abused lortabs, tramadol, darvocet and flexirils (approx consumed 70+pills in one month) and eats phengran like candy..... Her nephrologist doesn't seem concerned- she had 14yrs of soberity that lead to a relapse after hystercotomy in which she started the methodone- 11years later all this has occured.
Not sure how to work this site. I am tapering down from methadone and really need some support. It's been months and I have been doing this alone. A dr recently gave me some clonidine which helps a little but not enough. I have had awful SYMTOMS . The worse thing is the mental anguish. Sweats chills nausea shaking. I dont know how much longer my body can take this. I am 58 years old and an ER dr put me on methadone for pain but did not explain anything about it.
i have a friend that is detoxing from methadone how long do symptoms last after completely off.she was only on 10 mgs a day we came off 1.25 mgs a week.
I have been addicted to opiates since I was 16y/o, I am 29 years old now. I have recently got in a methadone treatment program with the intent of regaining control of my life. I am currently taking 50mg a day with success of overcoming my addiction and cravings. I have developed a new health problem that is very annoying due to my line of work. I am a server at a very nice restaurant and my sweating is causing alot of problems for me.
I just started the triple treatment yesterday. I have been on methadone maintenance for 15 months and from what I've been reading the Incivek somehow uses your methadone faster and you will need a dosage change. Has anyone had this same issue. My gastro said not to worry about this issue too much. Just told me to keep track of symptoms but the side effect symptoms are the same as opiate withdrawal symptoms. How do I know what is is a side effect of?
I have never used Methadone so I obviously have never withdrawn from Methadone. However, I have worked extensively with people who have withdrawn from Methadone. From my observation (and I know it was only observation accompanied by what the people were telling me), Methadone withdrawal is far more painful and grueling than Hep C treatment. My observation and understanding is that methadone withdrawal produces severe symptoms of withdrawal which last for months.
