Interaction Between Bactrim And Methadone
(Newest replies first)

I have heard that the combination of bactrim and methadone can throw you into withdrawals. I have mrsa and staph but cannot do withdrawals. Does anyone have information on this potential interaction?

Did you take methadone and bactrim at the same time, or did you space it apart?

Hello Jill,

I did a search on the NIH website but I was unable to find any clinical studies that would suggest this is true. In addition, when I checked the drug interaction portion of the NIH website all I was able to find is that when these two drugs are taken together it increases the chance of having a negative heart reaction.

Though I am not saying what you heard is completely unfounded I just was not able to find any evidence from a reliable source. If anyone else knows where I could find something that would support this theory I would be willing to investigate further to provide as much useful information as I can find thereafter.
