How Long Does Methadone Stay In Your System? (Page 14) (Top voted first)

Is Methadone completely out of your system in 72 hours, or does it take longer? Since Methadone seems to last longer that 4 - 6 hours, I was just wondering?

REPORT

Been on methadone 120 mg a day for 3 yes. Took nothing else. Been off methadone 4 most. I honest to God have taken none, my urine yesterday came up positive for methadone. How long will it stay in my urine. I've heard can be 6 most cause it gets in your bones etc. Can anyone tell me if they have had same problem, and what to do?

I have been on methadone for almost two years now (with a two month break over a year ago) taking a dose of 140 mgs liquid a day. I need to pass a ua and I have about 5 weeks to do it. I cant just quit cold turkey and I dont want to stop the program just yet. I am starting to taper down but they wont let me do more than 10 mgs a week. I do have several hundred mgs saved up that I can use to taper off a little quicker (if need be) and I am willing to take a week or two off to do it if I have to. I have a fairly fast metabolism when not on the methadone and I usually start to kick 36 to 48 hrs after stopping. Any suggestions on what I should/can do?

Honey.I can tell u this..I'd take 5000 moltrin 800's any day over methadone...I was on it for 3 months.I hurt myself at work not knowing.it sound lame.but I have a high tolerance to lorcets 10.5's which r very addictive..then the story goes on.but fact of the matter...it u do try to get off it for work..it will show up under a 10 panel.methadone is 9th on the list.I'm no liar..if u wanna clean up it'll take u 2 to 3 weeks..In all reality..herbal tea packs with lemon..and moltrins.plus some aleves will help...for the insomnia use nite quilt..best of wishes really....

PLEASE, please be careful with this, with the being constipated and experiencing pain when you use the bathroom! My sister was on a lot of pain medication (opiates) for her sciatica--she also complained of being severely constipated and of it hurting when she did manage to use the bathroom a little! WELL, she was 38 at the time-and she was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer!!! There was/is NO family history of colon cancer on either side! She passed away two days after her 40th birthday. I TRULY BELIEVE that the excessive use of the pain pills and the resultant severe, chronic constipation contributed to her developing colon cancer!!!! So I shared my sister's story in hopes that others would read it, and perhaps be spared a similar fate!! God bless!

I have been on methadone for years and everytime I try to go off I dont want to get out of bed let alone function. I was put on oxycontin for chronic pain and it seems that was easier to get off from then methadone. I suffer from major depression when I dont take the methadone. I feel im in a damming position. I want to be totally drug free God was with me to get off the oxycontin but it seems I just beat myself up because ive tryed to wein myself off methadone and cant function without. Im afraid I might have to go back to treatment again. Wow if I would have known this I would live with the pain and depression. Any advise welcomed

Im confused by your message. Did you stop taking methadone and now your on subtex? Or off it all? I have been on methadone 7 years. I seriously tried to stop taking 3x and failed. Once landed me in a 3 week coma. I dont want to take this medicine anymore but Im sick and not able to make ut through withdrawal. I think this was gov. Way to get rid of drug addicts.

i agree with what you said about the methadone, i myself have been on it for like a year and a half now and i am trying to switch over too subutex, so i stopped using the methadone and went back to heroin for like a week but i fear the methadone is still in my system i tried to take a subutex about 96 hours off the methadone and about 24 off the dope and got super sick... when is it safe to try to take the subutex again so i doont have to keep getting high on heroin to get further away from the methaone????

I've read all the blogs these seem to be the most logical. I was on methadone for 3 months due to nasty back injury, but agree, I should of just taken moltrin 800's, and dealt with the pain. At least I'm mortal, not tony stark. There's no answer for that stuff, I love my 3 children. And want them to remember me for being superdad,without the dose in me. Been off of it for a few weeks now , and if you care about yourself,and others , you'll realize, life's to damn short. Since I've only been on it for almost 3 months. I want to take a drug test for a life changing job in 2 weeks I haven't taken my 5 MLG dose in 3 weeks will I be clean?. Or should I wait.I want to be safe. How should I handle it. Any ideas?? Thanks....
