Methadone And Garcinia Cambogia (Page 2)

I have been on methadone for 10 years for fibro. I take 60-100 mgs a day. I have recently begun taking garcinia cambogia, green coffee bean and raspberry ketones for weight loss. Though they have been working, (I've lost 20 lbs) I've noticed about 1-2 hrs after taking them I start to withdraw. It doesn't matter if it's been 2 hrs or 10 hrs since my last methadone dose, my body acts like it's been 14+hrs as the anxiety clamps on like a vice and the nose turns into a faucet. Does anyone know if there is a withdrawal interaction or if this is just coincidence and I got a bad batch of methadone?

What about taking the Garcinia Cambogia with oxycodone? I just found out my Thyroid is low and reason for weight gain. I'm two days into Levothyroxine but hear conflicting reports concerning weight loss vs gain...I'm looking for amphetamines for .....AADD, years ago I was prescribed Adderal, perhaps I can get that....

Hi ladies, guys.... so the garcinia is supposed to speed up your metabolism get your heart rate going, just vamp up your system really. Us on methadone that means were metabolising our metha faster. That's why some ofyou feel yyou're thrown into withdrawal. Maybe it won't last forever because you get more n more tolerant to the garcinia but you gotta weigh what's more important I guess. I don't know how to get around it anyway :/ I have 80lbs to lose.

Hey its not the garcinia cambogia causing it but the green tea. I am also on methadone (for addiction 100mg) and I choose not to take the green tea because it is basically a type of flush.... I was more worried about it causing me to fail a drug panel by showing no methadone in my body. I talked with my nurse at the clinic and she agreed and also told me it could also throw me into withdrawal. So my suggestion just use the garcinia cambogia.... It works alone just as well. I have lost 12lbs.

Im on subutex not methadone but, I talked to my doctor recently and what ever is in the garcina cambogia latches on to fat and helps pass it through you instead of latching on to your belly or arms ect point is that your supposed to wait two hours before combining the 2 medications or the Garcia can attach itself and absorb your methadone so your body isn't recovering it it's a lot easier to explain into head haha but, wether you wait 2 or 10 it may still absorb it and NOT let your meds work!! Sucks bc I was excited to lose weight!

Here's what I don't understand.....I take 100mgs of methadone each day at a treatment clinic. I was very excited to order Garcinia Cambogia- g3000 and Grenn Coffee G-3000 because after being on methadone for almost 2 years consecutively; I have gained approx 30lbs. But why I am confused is I read a post on here explaining everyone's withdraw issues and one woman complained of Hydroxy cut throwing her into withdraw. I have been taking Hydroxycut and Zantrex3. One or the other while being on the methadone over the last 2 years. I just took hydroxy cut 3hrs ago, and I'm fine. Now I also am on 100mg and was only on 80 when I didn't take weightless pills. So, should I take the risk and try the cambogia since I had no reaction with the hydroxycut? Someone please let me know what you think and im sorry for all the ppl that a bad reacyion. METHADONE WITHDRAWAL IS NO JOKE!! Thanks in advance everyone for your info.

You know I noticed the VERY SAME thing! I take 78mgs of liquid methadon I get from the clinic every morning, & I started taking the garcinia with in just a couple hours of taking it.... FULL withdraw! What can we do to partake of this weight loss & not through ourselves into complete hell in the process?

I think it's because it's making your metabolism speed up & it's burning everything up quicker inside. I am also a methadone user & I am also on 100mg Fentanyl patches & it's been a little over 24 hours & I haven't had any withdrawal feelings. I am thinking it's because with the patch that keeps injecting my pain medicine. I really need to loose some weight & was hoping there wouldn't be any interaction with me taking pain meds so I looked & I found this forum. I wish you all luck & I'm hoping I can keep taking the Garcinia and my pain meds.

If you're taking anything to bring your metabolism up you have to come down a little bit with the methadone. Only because 1 is not stronger then the other one the doses need to be close to equal in order to work. If you are methadone is a higher dose it doesn't allowed the Garcinia Cambogia to work.

The most common reason in why you feel withdrawal after taking this garcinia is due to the metabolising of methadone. Garcinia sppeds up your metabolism, therefore breaking down your methadone quicker. So it pushes the your system faster.

Here's some friendly advise, go exercise some. I have been on methadone for years and I exercise every day. I'm not over weight at all. As a matter of fact, I was in bad shape when I got on it, but when I got comfortable, I got active, and that wasn't easy either, but I was tired of being lazy and I refuse to let myself gain weight like every other american. No, if the weight is the problem, stop relying on pills and move around.

Ok gang....I found out the weight gain is from hypothyroidism WHICH is from extended release opiates if you are unable to do hormone replacement therapy....Fentanyl, Opana and Methadone are the worse offenders....they also cause adrenal insufficiency...studies show if you stop the extended release or abuse proof opiates and switch to straight oxycodone your metabolism will speed up and the pounds will drop....I've lost 11lbs. in one month after coming off Fentanyl

I asked the nurse at my clinic if it would interact and cause withdrawal and she said everyone is different, she had heard some go into withdrawal some people haven't and some people just needed to increase there dose a little. All I know I have been on methadone for ten years and gained about10lbs a year u the math. So I'm sup willing to try it cuz I've taking other things and felt minor symptoms so I'm willing to try it and see how it affects me. I also have an inactive thyroid studio I basically have no metabolism so if it just makes my metabolism normal hopefully I'll be good. I can't take thyroid medication due to a kidney disease and the affects it had on that.

The garcinia cambogia makes your body digest everything superfast...that's why you lose weight and don't have to really chafe what your eating habits. But that's also why youy methadone isn't working. What I do is take the garcinia before my methadone. It still doesn't work as well as it should...but it works better than talking it after my methadone...hope I helped!! Good luck!
