Liquid Methadone Color Discrepancy (Page 3) (Top voted first)

My husband is taking liquid methadone has been for about four years and this morning he noticed his medicine was cloudy and then he took his other doses out and found several others of his doses were too. They were filled at the same time. Is this supposed to happen? And is it common? He said he hasn't bee feeling right for the last couple of days. I am worried, has anyone have this happen to thiers? And what could cause it?

I think it's because a lot of clinics water it down because I noticed mine are different colors too some days better than others

yes take a baby syringe that measures milliliters in teaspoons every milliliter is 10 milligrams or 1cc per 10 MLG 1ml is 10 MLG so 5ml is 50 or 5 cc is 50 mlg

your methadone isn in a brown bottle because it is absolutly ruined by sunlight ...and for some reason if you transfer it into an aluminum container some but not all ruin it aswell. now if your not trying to preserve extra which is the only time ive seen it go like that ten its been left to the heat or it was out of date.to preserve freeze

I know it's months late but your definitely right. It's def not free at least not for me or most. Every state and clinic is different. I've paid anywhere from 20$ for a week to 16$ a freakin day. It's great to see we can still get jobs like that pharmacy tech and basically whatever else and love a normal happy quality life. The quality of my life is most important. Peace love and happiness. This allows me to do all that and more. It's not an easy decision to make and the choice is rather humbling. I'm glad to see someone like yourself on here. Best wishes enjoy your weekend!

I've been in a program for 18 years in new York when the clinic medicates you they show you the pills and count them in front of you each piece is 10 milligrams it's up to you if you want to add water or juice no I live in Florida and they giving me the red methadone liquid which I seem to be sick all the time you don't know how much they giving because it comes from a machine I'm on 149 milligrams and it's so little you feel like you're not taking anything

I have been taking liquid methadone at a clinic for about 3 years now. About a month ago they switched pharmacys and instead of the regular pink liquid I had been taking for years, it's now clear and makes me feel different and dosent hold me as long. The nurse said the pink was only flavor. And talking to others they feel the same. Is it in my head or is it affecting me different?

Darcy,

I'd be very suspect bc in the states all liquid methadone/methadose has to have a color descriptor added for identification purposes.Im speaking of methadone prescribed for opiate addiction treatment purposes and dispensed by any licensed methadone clinics.perhaps it's a slightly diluted pink from the red dye preparation .

I got a few bottles for a take home for a week and I noticed the bottles were not consistent in color, and when I got to the end of a bottle it seemed to be lighter in color like it was tampered with.. Who do they answer to and who does quality control? I live in Okatie, SC. Is anyone in my area?

I am on methadone, mine is pink in color. I took to this site trying to find answers myself. Our clinic isn't ALWAYS on the up/up (being honest) & I'm feeling days my methadone holds me longer & shorter a lot more. Our clinic does add water, right in our faces & adds different amounts, our clinic does A LOT of things, maybe they shouldn't, such as with our swab analysis, ETC ETC ETC...Who do I report or complain to, bc I have some serious allegations towards my clinic but don't know where to turn for answers?

I just started a clinic and it too is light green . I was on a pinkish colored one before at a diff clinic and that one tasted very strong and made my throat kinda numb? As this green one does not..taste a lil nasty but nothing compared to the pink. I hope this helps a little .

JB is right, definitely not free. I pay 18$ per day in Minneapolis. Ive been self pay for the whole 13 years. I am supposed to be able to get some of it reimbursed from my medical insurance but they haven't ever paid me anything. I sure have tried and jumped through all the hoops they had me do. I've sat on hold for 6 hours before, all with no result. It's frustrating but I know I'd spend way more than 18$ a day if I was still using. To stop the rollercoaster life of ups and downs and uncertainty etc and to be able to just function like a normal adult is priceless to me.

My clinic here in st.louis, MO that I go to ISN'T honest either. I have been sober almost 2yrs, NEVER a relapse, I don't even have the urge but they said I got a dirty WHICH ISN'T TRUE, IM FURIOUS BC THEY PLAY GAMES HERE AT THIS PARTICULAR CLINIC, NOT RIGHT!!! I'm NOT the only one who complains & it's NOT like I'm getting kicked out or suffering from any repercussions I'm complaining bc it's NOT right, I'm NOT gonna accept what's NOT mine, if I was still using I'd admit it, so what that's what addicts do"relapse" but I swear I didn't!!!! My friend goes here, he comes EVERYDAY, he can't even get 1 clean & 1 certain nurse gives him take homes on the side if he goes out of town & I've seen this personally, he goes to her house, etc etc etc, It's so much underhanded BS & it's NOT right ppl.... WHO CAN I TALK TO BC THE WHOLE STAFF PLAYS A PART, again NOTTTT RIGHT MAN!!!! The add so much water to our methadose, they won't tell us our dose amt., It's just VERY JANKY here, WESTEND CLINIC here in STL ISN'T RIGHT THE UNDERHANDED BS THEY DO TO EVERYBODY....WHO CAN I TALK TO FOR ANSWERS!!?? The ppl here are feeling their positions & it's SOOO WRONG ppl!!!!
