Avatar f tn The reason I have been allowed to stay at true clinic is because I state that I am an addict to pain mess and the side effect of methadone is pain relief. The minute I say I am only taking methadone for pain relief they kick me out. I can't afford the $400 dollars they charge either. I need a prescripion and my family Dr. Won't have ANYTHING to do with me. I travel all the time and am forces to save bottles and works around my allowed takeout amount.
Avatar m tn Benzos are not narcotics; they are a different class of drugs. Xanax and methadone shouldn't be taken together because the combination can cause respiratory distress. Where do you get your methadone? I'd be more worried about getting tested from your methadone provider. If you have Xanax in your system, they may drop you and a CT detox of methadone will be pretty miserable.
Avatar f tn At this point I have tried everything so I am shooting this straight from the hip.. (pun intended) Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get Methadone prescribed. I have not asked my primary directly for this. He dose give me Vicodin however I have tried Methadone and it dose not make me "high" when I take it at a low dose and I get a large amount of relief. thank for anyone that will reply with honest help. Also I am very aware of the addictive nature of Methadone.
Avatar f tn m 46 now with a methadone habit of 190 ml per day and where they prescribe me methadone, they are playing with my health, meaning when I'm not able to go to their month apointment with their doctors because I'm very sick or something happends that is urgent and I cannot attend, they don't send me the prescription for me to get my dose, that is really playing with our health and playing God too in a way I think...
Avatar f tn Hey All, I am on 85mg methadone a day for oxy addiction and I have constant tooth pain. My teeth are pretty rotten from years of neglect. I am seeing a dentist now but repairs will take awhile. I need to know what will work for pain for me. I have a very high tolerance for opiates. I have had a drug called "toradol" but made me very sick. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar f tn My Dr was able to give me my prescription early, she increased my Methadone from 10 mgs daily to 15 mgs daily and that has helped my pain. Fortunately, I was able to find the 5 mg tablets at the Walgreen's near me and spoke to the pharmacist, she agreed to ordre my Methadone every month so I could feel more at ease about getting my pain meds filled every month.
Avatar n tn I have several methadone left from my old prescription. Would I be able to change and take the methadone instead of the OxyContin until I can talk to my dr on Monday. I was told the change was due to something from my blood work showing up wrong?
1312494 tn?1273749561 But the pain is so severe now that it impedes my ability to think or function dramatically. My doctor wrote me out a prescription per my request but it was denied by my insurance company (Medicaid). They sent me a statement that said preferred alternatives included: methadone, Kadian, morphine er, and Avinza. I am unable to take morphine or morphine derivitives and I was not comfortable taking methadone as I know it is used for Heroin addicts.
317787 tn?1473358451 You could talk to the doctor and ask for prescription of generic drugs, may not be methadone, but some other pain killers. Generic drugs are cheaper and equally effective. Other than this some physiotherapy may be of some help. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
Avatar m tn But my DOC ended up being opiates by the time I was 18. By the time I was 20, I was in a methadone program. After about two years in the program I developed an addiction to benzo's as well. Eventually I was basically forced to quit methadone and go off cold turkey, I went from 100mg to 60 and then went CT from there. This was in Oct 2009. I stayed on my prescription of klonopin from my reg doctor who know i was on methadone.
Avatar f tn yeserday i lowered my dose of methadone to 1mg n since last night my side hurts n my abs r sore.....its so uncomfortable,it hurts to breath...
Avatar f tn My son is trying to get off dope he took about 100mgs of methadone yesterday around 4:30pm. Is it safe for him to take a suboxone strip today at 12:30pm it been about 20hours since he took the methadone.
Avatar f tn Methadone is a very strong opiate and you will have to come off that eventually too and the wd's are brutal. Are you doing anything about aftercare?
Avatar f tn How long after taking 50mg methadone a day for only 3 days do I need to wait to take suboxone?
Avatar f tn Please help me find a doctor in Massachusetts that writes for methadone for my chronic pain and Ms my Dr was killed last year and now I had to go to methadone clinic and I have to go to work and can't keep doing meetings and standing in line for a dose but I'm in excruciating pain all day and night I can't sleep most nights I cry myself to sleep almost 90% of time
Avatar f tn does long term use of methadone affect you bladder i seem to want to wee all the time and its getting worse?
Avatar f tn In MA any doctor can write a prescription for methadone for pain. Whether they will is another story. Start with your primary care. Good luck!

410221 tn?1227631837 I'm am helping a dear friend whose brother is recovering from Tramadol. THey have him on Methadone everyday. She is so concerned because now he doesn't want to come off the Methadone. It's like he traded one drug for the other. He will have to be tappered down from the Methadone and then go through WD.
Avatar f tn vicki is spot on about methadone and xanax. I have been on methadone for 7 years and every doctor I`ve ever talked to has said that methadone and xanax is a bad mix. It is also true that tapering is the safest thing at his level. He needs to get to a much lower dose if he wants to go CT. Methadone withdrawls last a long time and the higher the dose, the worse the withdrawls are. Also check out the Thomas Recipe.
Avatar f tn Any one else out there on methadone matinence or have been while pregnant? I'm 38 weeks on Monday, and I'm steadily getting more anxious for delivery. My dose is 120mg daily, I'm being induced on the 23rd and I'm so nervous my little guy will have withdrawals :( Some babies do well and go home, some have to stay and detox. Anyone else have experience with this? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I live in Bermuda and am currently on the only methadone program that is available here. However, I am a professional who does not like to go to the meth clinic every day to get dosed as our island is only 21 square miles long with a population of 65,000 people. Sooner or later word will get back to my job and I am at high risk of losing it as I have clients who are HNWI (High Net Worth Individuals) who would not appreciate my background.
