methadone side effects on infants

It could be a side effect of the methadone or even an allergic type reaction to it. I remember when I took Macrobid (antibiotic) for a urinary infection, I had a high fever (102.3) every time I would take it, so I called my doctor's office and they told me to stop it immediately because I was having an allergic reaction to it. As it turned out, my father had had this same type of reaction to it a couple years before.

I wish i had never been offered Methadone. I never noticed any side effects up untill about 2yrs ago. I have every known side effect,but the worst one of all at the moment is excessive sweating. My quality of life is zero. I sweat from head to toe most days all day. I sit with ice ,cold can's of juice sitting on my cheek's,my breasts and my wrists. Ive put on 4st in weight,and i know this wont be helping the situation. I don't know what to do anymore.

s 9 month old baby had to have surgery, and because she was pulling out her breathing tube they put her on several strong narcotis, along with ativan. then they used methadone to taper her off of all the other meds. now she is addicted to methadone. they are tapering her off of the methadone, and of course she is going through hell. does anyone here know if suboxone can be used for infants?

1) scales related to interactive abilities, and 2) scales related to organizational responses to environmental stimuli.

However it is not advisable to use too much of steroid creams as it has plenty of side effects like skin atrophy, skin thinning, telangiectasia, steroid induced rosacea or redness. Use it only as per the prescription and have regular follow ups with your child’s doctor. Also the best treatment of eczema is use of moisturizers which should be applied in a thin layer on the eczematous patch.

if methadone has no long term side effects then why about a week after i came off methadone did i urinate blood every time i passed urine for about 24 to36 hours then things cleared up

I am pregnant with my 4th child and I'm on Methadone this is my 2nd pregnancy on Methadone my 1st pregnancy was ok on it however when I delivered my daughter didn't have any withdrawals but the doctor insisted I breastfeed after 2 weeks of breastfeeding my baby wouldn't latch good so I went to formula and 3 days later she had withdrawals so bad she was in ICU for 2 weeks being detoxed with opium. If I wouldn't have breast fed she wouldn't have had withdrawals.

are these the side effects of someone on methadone????cause i dont understand how i can be so talkative in the past and have such a strong personilty.. then turn into a zombie with no emotions, is this what happens after taking the pill for a while.. as i said im a 26 beautiful women.( i dont feel that way but i have men talking to me constantly,) get compliments daily.

i have been told that though there has not been a lot of research done on the effects of the drug, that it is better to stay on it through out preg, and the risk of withdrawls in infants ranges from 20-90%! do you have any info on this or ability to use pain management during labor while taking subutex? or a place i can go to ask a anesthesioligist?

does you doctor mean the side effects on triple are the same if your on methadone as someone thats not on methadone?....looks like a good thing to check into....my doctor recommends certain ads over other ads because of drug interactions...i'll bet a lot of folks take one thing or the other that blocks or impairs the absorption of the hep drugs without even knowing it...i tried to stay away from anything that would interfere with tx drugs including foods like grapefruits....

what are long term effects of methadone good/bad i am only 28 and been on it for 8 mos all info is welcomed thanks

You need to talk to the clinic and your ob about steps to take to get off the drug. Methadone causes serious dependency and side effects. Good luck! I was 19 when I kicked heroin and oxys (2001) and have never looked back. A good detox might help too.

m on diazapam too but thats tapered dwon from 40mg to 20 and stopped there I want to know what the way forward could be and what the sid eefcts are for methadone ---Ive been on it 6 weeks now and i feel a bit detached ,, Ive put on weight and ache in the mornings and feel tired all the time , Ive got hep C too , I keep forgetting stuff and just feel lost , but I'm mentally well and can get my thought pattern postaive if I try , I know I can get back to being clean but it will take a while

It does have its uses in heroin or massive pill abuse but if your brother had got down to half a vicodin a day he is really playing with fire using methadone. Try to convince him to stop or come on here and read the methadone horror stories. I have come off pills, heroin, and methadone and the methadone was by far the most drawn out withdrawal of all of them!

I have been on methadone for only 1 month. 55mg a day. How bad would the side affects be if I just quit cold turkey? Also, what is a good way to stop without having withdrawl symptoms?

When methadone is taken under medical supervision, long-term maintenance causes no adverse effects to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bones, blood, brain, or other vital body organs. Methadone produces no serious side effects, although some patients experience minor symptoms such as constipation, water retention, drowsiness, skin rash, excessive sweating, and changes in libido. Once methadone dosage is adjusted and stabilized or tolerance increases, these symptoms usually subside.
