You have to know someone's situation before you tell them just to forget the methadone. just for someone to take what you said the wrong way it would be bad and trust me ppl do...it saved me and my sons life and made us stable. i get it though. i been on it for 17yrs.

I'm kind of replying to all. I take 140...Adderall doctor says I can't do that. She said she was scared for my safety of how it would affect me. Kind of like a mixture of a stimulant and a depressant is the way we talked about but not exact. She says she needs to ask my counselor. A lot of people take this. I don't understand why she's taking so long to fix me. Because my dad didn't believe in meds I'm paying for it. My job is also on the line because I keep making the same mistakes. It takes me so long to learn things...its been immortal hell. I took some of my cousins Adderall and it actually had me remember everything the teacher said and understand what was going on? So why would she do this????? Tons of ppl are on a high dose and Adderall.

Re: lostone (# 16)

You need to come down from the methadone ASAP!! I currently go to a methadone clinic and brought myself up to 126mg every morning, I did more harm than good, I was always tired, drained, I had really bad morning sickness, I would throw up the methadone as soon as I got home and after I threw up I was fine. I was simply overdosing myself. You have to be careful when you increase your dosage at a clinic bc most the ppl there are not qualified and will keep increasing your dose upone your request, know your limits bc they will not. I am currently down from 126mg to 25mg and I tell you what, no more drowsiness or fatigue. The best thing for you to do is to taper Down 5mg a week until you notice withdrawal symptoms then go down to 1mg a week. You are over toxicated and that’s why you feel the way you do. Good luck and hope you gain control of your life.

Re: Eye (# 40)

Legally theyre not allowed to just cut u off. Thats crazy. A dr is supposed to taper his/her patients off methadone bc it can be Very dangerous to get off cold turkey.

Yes This is a DEADLY Combination. Please stop the xanax now. Ive watched/heard of countless friends dying from this concoction. Its not worth it. I have anxiety attacks baaaad.. But I dont EVER take benzos anymore now that Im on methadone. Please dont become a statistic.

I take methadone also. Only 40mgs at the moment. But my advice to you and anyone that's on methadone. Please limit your benzo intake. I've seen and heard of too many of my close friends dying bc of that mixture. Just be careful. Everything in moderation. That's the rule of thumb I like to use and stick by.

Clonidine will help with withdraw symptoms. If you are being monitored by a clinic or pcp, they will prescribe the clonidine for withdraw. The medicine helped me in full blown withdraw. So mild withdraw like hot flashes should be helped.

Re: HOT BOSS (# 6)

I was on 197mg of methadone and I dropped down 2 mg a week for a few months and ended up on 156 mg. As soon as I hit 156 sweat stopped and everything, all that b******* just stopped, it was amazing and I'm almost a licensed massage therapist so I'm consistently working. Massage is a very hard job to do. It's very active and a lot of energy performing the different modalities that people need and the amount of pressure you have to use and so forth and so on. It's the only thing that I can suggest that works for me cuz I had them sweats and nasty nasty sweats up until I started lowering my dosage. The only reason I made it is I was in a bad car accident and I got addicted to prescription pain pills. The truck driver hit black ice and jackknifed the truck and then another one behind him which I was in between the both of them, he hits the same black ice, jackknives and they told me I came through the window from a sign and went through my face right in the center. So my palate which is the roof of your mouth, my teeth and my septum, everything that was in the middle of my face from my nose went down my throat. They fix it. I died three times. I'm lucky to be alive. We tried my to detox and wean myself down from the vicodin because I was just sick of having to buy more because I was so addicted at that point after 3 years I needed more than they could ever give me.

I needed almost double, come to find out my ex-husband was also stealing them but that's another story, but I got to go down really slow. So when they try to detox me I started having seizures really bad so that's why I went on methadone because I didn't want to go on suboxone. I figured god gave me a new life and I was going to take advantage of the new one and not touch any of that bull s*** anymore. So I am still detoxing down. I'm still going and I don't care if it takes me to the next 10 years. I'm going down to 2mg a week unless I start having seizures or seizure-like feelings then I'll stop and we'll know that I'm just going to be a life around methadone that's going to suck cuz it's not anything that anybody would want for themselves but sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. I had a lot of frontal head injuries so it's a ridiculous miracle that they saved my life. I enjoy every minute of life today. Peace and love to all my brothers and sisters who are fighting the drug battle. Keep fighting. It is what it is. We are who we are. I got two degrees now and I own my own business. It can be done, even on methadone. God bless.

Re: HOT BOSS (# 6)

I have bought vitadone and nutridone last week due to all my hot flashes and sweating because of methadone. I'm on 120 mg of methadone and 40 mg of Adderall. Although I'm not active very much after 6 hours of my methadone. I feel like sleeping all day. So when I told the doctors that, they decrease my methadone and then at about 2 in the morning I started getting restless I couldn't sleep I had chills I was cold I was Restless. Does any of that sound familiar? But anyways I bought the vitadone a nutridone it says it takes like 10 days to help the sweating it's not helping yet but fingers crossed.

Re: Woods04 (# 18)

I have been taking methadone for 13 yrs. Also i have been taking adderrall for 6 yrs. I have been doing a self taperring on my methadone for almost 16 months. When i started my taperring i was at 134mg a day. Now 16 months later i am at 11mg a day. You have to be 100% ready to do a taperring if u want off methadone. u have to be all in no DOUBTS. U have to research have support around u and somehow keep yourself busy. The worst thing i found is still being around friends that abuse it. I had to change some friends. I have a target date to be fully off of methadone within 5 months. The trick is go very slow if u can. Money does play a factor. The slower the easier withdrawals. Remember u have to want it 110% end of story. No ifs and or buts. Usually it will take u hitting rock bottom. It can be done and remember u will not die from methadone withdrawal very very very rare. Im doing it while holding and always holding a full time job. If your drops are dirty other than methadone ur not ready. U have to b ALL IN.

Hi, I have always been extremely sensitive to medications, one way or the other, to make a long story short. Some would work wonders and some would make me feel sick to my stomach. Some medications worked for as long as the Doctors claimed that they would, and some would not. Hence, after 5 years of taking different opioids for chronic back pain, and complaining that the meds weren't working as long as they should, I was becoming labeled a "Drug Seeker". This infuriated me because I am anything but a drug seeker and all I want is adequate, relief for my pain. Thus, after years of trying to be my own advocate and explain to the Doctors that I was not experiencing the therapeutic benefits of certain meds and they refused to believe me until my Psychiatrist performed a Genetic analysis that determined how quickly or slowly I metabolized my medications and well wouldn't you know it. I am in a 1% - 3% range of humans on the planet with a genetic "defect" that causes me to metabolize my Opioid Medication (Methadone) three times faster than the average person's metabolism does. Thank God, for this marvelous diagnostic that can now be done, if your insurance covers it and perhaps you can figure out a better combination of medications, and/or different means of dosing the medications. I hope this tidbit of information helps someone?
