Avatar n tn Methadone poisoning? sounds like your allergic, really seriously go and speak to your doc about it, i took methadone for some years and high doses and didn't experience problems like that. Try and focus on more positive things in life family, friends, enjoyable activities, you only get one short at this life and even though we may mess it up time to time try and stay happy!
417564 tn?1287982827 just think of it as the methadone leaving and appreciate it. For real, that is what we did! Now....day 9 and happier than ever with everything including each other. You will have moments of not feeling well, but nothing unbearable. Hang in there and thanks so much for being so kind and supportive to us!
Avatar n tn Even the taste is unbearable now. Probably cause i anticipate the throwing up. It is horrible. Its turned into a nightmare I'm hoping that this week when i see the Dr. that he will switch me back onto the methadone I'm insisting on it. Not another day not another week.... I often will not take it for several days at a time because of it. Than when i do I kinda feel that I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Legs restless and leg pain. Actually ya serious withdrawal issues going on.
Avatar m tn FOREVER! Seriously, it takes a month or longer. I highly recommend you get off of it a.s.a.p.! I know because I was on methadone for years! I'm on Suboxone and have been for 2 years. I suggest getting off the methadone and switching to Suboxone. But caution, with methadone in your system, you can have serious withdrawals and severe allergic reactions. You would have to have the methadone completely out of your system first. Methadone withdrawal is the worst ever.
Avatar m tn m no medic but sounds to me like what may have started as allergic reaction or food poisoning has turned into dehydration which is a serious thing. If you're weak, you'll just get weaker. Youneed fluids like now, but if you can't get them down you may need IVs. I've been without insurance and better to get help and ask for social service assistance. Even if you have to pay $10 a month. 8 days is a long time without water. too long.
Avatar n tn Suddenly yesterday and today about 3 hours after I dose, I begin feeling sick to my stomach and I begin urinating at least 30 times an hour. What is going on? Also, is there ANYTHING I can do to stop the constant urinating? I am drinking water at this point so I don't get dehydrated and also so it cleans out the "poisoning effect." Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Avatar f tn Are you saying that you only took one dose of Methadone? If that is what I read, something does not sound right. After years of this, haven't you seen a cardiologist? You really should. You need to get to the bottom of this. If I am interpreting this wrong, please correct me.
415399 tn?1209504302 What is sub? how does it differ from methadone? my boyfriend is heavily addicted to oxy's and its making our lives miserable, he treated by a pain managment Md, at the moment he is going through the worst withdrawels since I have known him (1 year) he is totally incapacitated and he doesn't get his next script till Friday, how does "sub" work?
Avatar f tn f u are wondering what lamm is im here to answer ur question. it is a form of methadone that lasts much longer. u would go to a clinic Monday Wednesday and Friday. its designed to stay in ur system much longer and takes twive as long to begin withdrawling from then methadone. its abbreviated for levo alpha acetyl methadole. a lot of clinics stopped prescribing lamm about 8 years ago due to how strong it was.
Avatar f tn My heart rate is usually in the 70-75 bpm range and now it is 100+. Sometimes I feel lethargic, but usually after I eat. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn There are days when I wish I had never got on anything at all even methadone. But life is what it is and all we can do is try and make our lives better for us.
Avatar f tn Thought I had herniated disk again. Finally found hydromyelia in middle of back. Only think that helps is ibprofin and ice and my methadone. They have checked me for MS and ALS. I just had another MRI with contrast. Could this be from my lumbar surgery? I have DDD which I know common with back issues. I also know that my breathing issues are Probaby from smoking. At what point do they take this more seriously.
Avatar f tn I think it is a crime that every doctor is pushing methadone for pain relief, due to pressure of the costs of other available, less harmful methods. Is there a panel ANYWHERE looking into this epidemic for the pain SUFFERER? I am NOT going to become a methadone addict because it is SO CHEAP! I have several family members on methadone, much to THEIR chagrin, and now they can't get off it.
603838 tn?1238534975 Methadone overdose must have caused these symptoms in your friend. In methadone poisoning one is comatose, pin point pupils, muscle twitches or spasticity along with slow shallow breathing. Your friend would have received immediate supportive care to secure airway, breathing and circulation, also the antidote, naloxone, to undo the effects of the opioid, the dilated unreactive pupils are due to naloxone effect. The spasticity may be because of methadone in the body.
Avatar f tn it sounds to me like a herbal medicine, honestly what I read of it is that the response to it is different for different people. Either stimulating or seditative depending on the dose. I highly suggest staying away from it due to the long lists of unknowns.
18882314 tn?1469241442 This is the question. When I go to a new pain doc next week will they be upset because I don't want to be detoxed all the way off of methadone? I don't have any dirties, I don't drink I had alcohol poisoning when I was 12 plus no rec drugs either. I had to go to a new pain doc, because my favorite doctor retired. Anyway, I have been on 100mgs of methadone for more than 7 years; plus started on percocet 4 years ago with the methadone.
Avatar f tn m very sweaty and shaky im laying down right now and my mom wants me to only get up when i have to throw up and go bathroom again which is every 30 minutes. what do you guys think i should do? what do you think is wrong with me. I'm really scared you guys.
175688 tn?1297556647 I have read on here several post that people are using this to come off of high doses of opiates?? Is it an over the counter thing or a prescription? I am currently taking up to 100mg of 10/325 norcos and want to stop.....just curious what suboxone is. Don't really want to go to the doctor for help though....still trying to admit to myself that I can do this alone..... Any help??
425312 tn?1279966179 we are still so thankful and so blessed for the ease we have experienced in coming off methadone...it is almost day 9. We are hanging in there, we still have rough times throughout the day, but nothing unbearable. Thanks for all of the support and compassion you guys have shown us...you have made this easier for us and we love you so much for that! Peace and love, hope all is well with both of you!
Avatar f tn I am trying trying trying to taper or get the strength to go ct. What is this suboxxone I keep hearing about? Do you have to go to a rehab? Can a doctor prescribe? Lemme know... feeling desperate. Thanks....
1064938 tn?1255282319 This is what we need. Only people who take or have taken methadone understand about it. I am here to say that methadone has saved my life. Some people have such a negative opion of methadone but I think it is a great start to a road of recovery. Sure a lot of people abuse it but for those of us who want to do the right thing it really does work. I hope the Methadone Community stays for a long time to come. I do not even know how I found it. What is the web address to get here.
Avatar m tn Is the urine tests and culture pretty accurate for gon/chlamydia?
417564 tn?1287982827 In our research prior to our detox, we learned that a vitamin deficiency caused by methadone is the primary factor in pain associated with withdrawals. We then determined that a safe amount of vitamins is alot! We eased through the detox with far more ease than others. Our counselor kept telling me that I was not a doctor, but we were being careful, conscious...and applying common sense and natural healing techniques (very effective, not used by many dr.'s)...Still, doing great.
4392824 tn?1353937963 It sounds like it could be food poisoning. If his fever gets to high get him to a hospital. Watch him closely. This may just pass but no guarantee.
Avatar m tn i was in MORE pain the whole time i was on methadone, it did worsen for a few weeks when i stopped methadone and transitioned to sub, but it is 10 times better now than when i was on methadone... i cant explain it, but i sure do believe it. i didnt want to believe it at first, but when i finally made the decision to get off it, and was 4 weeks off it, i was amazed!
