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

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?

When someone replies to the Original Poster's thread, with a question of their own needing advice, etc.. That's called thread hijacking. Just FYI. I suggest starting your own thread, you'll get more response that way (plus it's common courtesy to not reply to someone's post unless you have something to offer to the thread, not just "help me!")

just sayin :)

Now, your question:

WHY WHY WHY would you take "some pill" from "some guy" in a pharmacy??? I seriously can't even wrap my brain around this one. I almost do hope something happens as a result- if nothing else, to teach you a well-deserved lesson you won't forget again: DONT TAKE CANDY FROM STRANGERS!

So, in otherwords, you're not just out for today's dose.. you're also missing an additional dose that you took. Two doses total you've lost.
(I'm really NOT the type to give one a hard time on forums. I apologize in advance.)
What are you thinking- You're SO making things harder for yourself.
I don't know why you didn't call the clinic immediately! They'd have told you:
(A) 10 minutes after dosing, its 80-90% absorbed in the stomach lining already. If you vomited 10+ minutes after dosing, you'd be fine. (You may be feeling ill simply because you have the flu.)
(B) Instead of dipping into your takehome supply, you COULD have gone to the emergency room, told them. They would've given you a shot or two of Ativan to get you comfortably through the day.
Hospitals are usually very willing to help patients who are responsible enough with their takehome doses to not go taking extra doses in situations like this.

You likely wont be feeling too great all week now, since you've screwed around on your doses.
Perhaps you should rethink whether you're ready to have takehome doses.
Hopefully your clinic doesn't do your U/A in the next week- your methadone metabolite levels will be off, and the morphine will come up also.. You'll be in a bit of trouble then explaining both.

Please know, I'm not trying to be offensive here.. You really just could've saved yourself a lot of trouble.... and sickness.
As for the morphine helping? Being a narcotic, it'll take the edge off- but the way it goes is: the only way to completely fix methadone withdrawals... is methadone. lol.

Hopefully you'll learn something at least, and next time you're in a similar situation, maybe you'll give your clinic a call. They'll tell you what to do so you don't go making things worse (if nothing else, they won't want to be liable for something happening- so they'll do what they can usually)

I've been on the clinic myself, for about 8 years now (starting at 280mg daily, down to 55mg daily now- Yay!! almost there!) and I really do sympathize.. I hate to ever see someone suffering withdrawals. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, no matter what.
I sincerely hope you feel better soon.

I am on 130mgs of methadone and the methadone makes it to where nothing can get you high. Seriously, i can slam 60mgs of diluaded...not morphine..diluaded and it does NOTHING. You will be fine.

Because of a heart problem my wife was taken off 150 mg per day immediately and it was replaced by morphine. Dr. said 20 mg morphine to every 60 of methadone so depending on your dose, take 20 of morphine to 60 of methadone. !00 m6==300 morphine etc. Split the morphine dose into 3;;300= 100 3x day.

It may help stave off the worst of the withdrawals you could experience, since it is also a narcotic.

However, before doing so in the future, you really should call the doctor or clinic you are working with and get their advice, first.

Taking another narcotic may not be approved and might get you kicked out of the Methadone program.

How are you feeling now?
