I used to be on 150 mg of Methadone a day but cut way down to just 30mg/day and it was so tough! Now I'm mixing just 10mg of Valium with the current Methadone. It that mixture safe?
Can Venlafaxine 37.5 m ( which is a generic brand of Effexor ) be taken with 20 mg of methadone? Are these two drugs okay to be mixed? Anyone taking this?
I am so worried and concerned about him coming off it, i kno its only micrograms but still dont want him having any wuthdrawls at all. I feel like a horrible mom but if i could have got off it with pregnant with him i would havr, but my doctor told me not to because it coulda harmed him and put him at a risk which i didnt wamt to do.
I used to suppliment my hydro, oxy, and basically anything I could get my hands on with methadone....Then, I was addicted to methadone! I am going to tell you that there is no worse detox then from methadone! Seriously, you need to take a good look at what you are trying to accomplish.....If you want to quit....quit! Cold turkey is the best way.....there are a lot of things you can do to minimize and lessen the time of detox but PLEASE.....put the methadone down!
A simple search of google will give you HUNDREDS of cases where people have died from mixing methadone and benzos or other CNS depressents. I actually just went to a funeral of a guy who did that a few months ago (xanax and methadone). In fact, in just the last 2 - 3 years in my area I have personaly known 3 people who have died from that, but there have been many many more.
I have been on a high dose of Methadone for a number of years for Chronic pain. I go to a clinic but recently asked my doctor if he would take over my care and switch me from going to the clinic, over to a time released morphine pill I can take once or twice a day. He won't write me Methadone and is reluctant to do it at all because he's never had a patient that he's had to transfer from methadone to a morphine pill before .
Hi! That all sounds like a plan until you got to the part about methadone. I wouldn't start methadone. If you can stop for five days, why would you want to do the methadone? The physical WD will be much better after the five day mark, so starting methadone at that point will only give you another drug to detox from. AND.....it's a detox that will be much harder than the morphine one will be. The fact that you have lots of vacation time will help a LOT.
I cant tell you how many people died from mixing methadone and xanax but its happening at alarming rates everyday. I go to a meth clinic and had a phyc doc prescribe 2mgs 3x a day also. I dont remember most of the month if you know what I mean. GET HIM HELP NOW. Things got so bad with me I became homeless and came clean to the doc that I was an addict. They stopped the scripts and I havent taken xanax like that since. It makes the person look like theyre going to fall over just standing still.
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?
That's true but what we don't know is if the poster is an addict and if so, if the doctors knew. Regardless, it's no excuse for releasing you with nothing. A non addcit could take morphine for a week and just walk away in most cases.
ur doctor needs to tell u what is ok to take with the methadone and follow his advice...if u were taking 3 x what was prescribed, do u think u may have been abusing them or did u take that much just for pain relief? that is too much hydro and it is obviously not the drug for your pain....sometimes narcotics just are not the answer for pain relief and the tolerence u build to them makes them dangerous to take long term...
Morphine does cause nausea but I would be looking for other causes for bad stomach problems. This is for Deb who posted below. I have been on 120 mg morphine daily and norco for over 10 yrs, I have only had to use a laxative once. And that was because I had another surgery and didn't get proper exercise. Sounds like you were DOPED up if you can't remember things. If so I'm sure you weren't eating healthy or getting enough exercise. Same with your belly.
