If I Take 130mg Of Methadone Per Day Will A 60mg Morphine Sulfate Help Get Me Through One Day? (Page 3)

I go to a methadone program and have for about 4 years. I've recently had the flu which caused me to vomit up my methadone (I get 5 take home bottles per week). Tried taking another bottle and threw up again. I'm feeling sick from not taking it so I took a 60 mg morphine sulfate pill. Will this help at all?

Not unless you use it IM or IV. Morphine is about 30% less if ingested.

So just wondering, who takes a pill "some guy" at a pharmacy? And then takes other meds and then starts to worry? People never cease to amaze me!!

I dropped dead on 60mg a day of methadone in 2001 before it was on the list of LQTS drugs. I was treated for pain with it...I ended up with an ICD/PACER due to this drug. This is one of the most dangerous cardiac arrest meds there is.

My wife was on 160 mg and the hospital took her off that day giving her 530 mg morphine 3x's a day. That's a 10 to 1 ratio. We were home and she passed right in front of me and I did resuscitation, breathing for her and was so nervous I don't think I did anything right but god bless I got her awake and to the ambulance. We called the ambulance 3 hours before and when they came her heartbeat was down to 40 and the *****s said it was from not eating. 3 hours later we called and went to the hospital and her rate was 42 and the nurse said if she hadn't come she would not have made it thru the night. No matter what a doctor or emt says, listen to your body. You know when something doesn't feel right.

I would be really careful mixing these two types of narcotic medications. In answer to your question it may help with withdrawal but you have accumulated a pretty hefty dose of methadone into your system, and since flu symptoms mimic withdrawal symptoms you may not actually be withdrawing from methadone. My advice to you if you are unable to keep your medication down, you should go see your primary care physician or go to the emergency room where they can give you intravenous methadone.

Methadone stays in your system a long time, it has a long half life. I don't think you really need the morphine tablet. It's psycho-somatic.

I know this is an old post, but no, they don't make a 90 mg morphine pill. And why would you take that AND a Valium while waiting on your methadone dose? Are you TRYING to kill yourself? Pretty stupid!
