Methadone And Garcinia Cambogia (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

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?

For myself I found splitting my dose kept the WD away. If ur just treating pain this will work for u. If ur after a buzz, we'll it won't work.
Try saving a little bit of ur dose as u feel it wearing off. Then take what u saved. But again for me, I'm a pain patient splitting it made all the difference for me.

I have been on methadone for 2 weeks now im at 85 mgs and ive noticed that the it works for about 4 to 6 hours and then i start feeling withdrawals worse than when i came in. I've puked violently a few days ago and felt sick the test of the day. Everyone keeps telling me to hang in there, it'll get better once you reach 150 mgs. Methadone scares me because it should be blocking withdrawals, not creating more. And if its anything like suboxone was where it took me 6 months of withdrawals comingn off 12 mg a day to get back to normal... I don't want to get addicted to methadone and go through months of withdrawals. I think I'm going to ask to go down to 20 or 10 mg a day of methadone and get back on my 5 30mg a day of oxycodone.

Because this weekend i took 80mg of methadone on Saturday morning then another 80 mg at noon. Then Sunday morning i started taking oxycodone again. Everybody says that 80mg will block oxycodone or opiates. Well, I took 160 mg of methadone Sat and i could feel the Oxycodone when i broke a 30 mg tab in half. I finally felt normal when i took both.

My doctors are ok with me taking both, but I'm just going to take a low dose of methadone with my normal daily 150 mg of oxycodone and I'll bet i wont go over use. Sunday was the best I've felt in a while. No, I didn't feel impaired, i just had no pain or withdrawals. It was wonderful.

I forgot to mention im a big man, 6ft 5 298 lbs, so I'm guessing that's why the methadone didn't work that great by itself. But when i took suboxone 6mg from day 1 it blocked all withdrawals and i actually felt impaired. So the subs worked better for me.

Well that what happen when I got the bad batch of methadone. But I tend to think it's the weight loss product you're taking. It has an herbal and caffeine concentrate in it. So it sort of like speed. Which is the opposite of methadone. Quit taking the diet aid. U will know in a matter of a day or 2. If that's what it is.

When I got the bad batch of methadone, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking I was going into withdrawals. I took no others meds or OTC stuff at all. So I didn't BELIEVE I was in withdrawal. But I was. Rapid heart. Pain not treated. Hyper. Weight loss without trying. Look up the name of the herbal stuff you are taking and make sure there hasn't been a recall on it. About 2 years ago they did a recall on a diet aid out of China. It was testing positive for amphetamines. Google it. Look under FDA recall on diet aids.

How long did the withdrawals last when you stopped taking methadone? I have heard it can be 3 months to a year before you feel normal and not going trough it.

I asked the nurse about me taking that when I went to the clinic it is something in that product that does not mix well with methadone and it's like it kicks the methadone out and puts u in dts if u want something for weight loss search around for a good weight loss clinic that prescribes Adipex trust me it works I lost 40 to 50 pounds I like adipex way better than the generic phentermine but it's both the same basically but the adipex worked way better and gave me energy to where phentermine didn't

It's flushing out your body so of course it's gonna flush out the methadone and leave you in withdrawal. Same thing happened to me. So basically your throwing up your methadone every time you take those pills. You have to wait till your off the clinic. Same thing with forscolin. Same problem but that's OK, methadone can slow down your breathing to a point where no Oxygen gets to your organs. It slows blood pressure and you can't take it if you have asthma. It sucks.

Hydroxycut IS garcinia! If you take both you're just getting a double dose of garcinia!

No I went thru the same thing. I have heard to take it bout 3-4hrs before ur first dose of methadone. I also tried to take this and it was OK for my fist dose cuz I took it bout 3hrs before I dosed with methadone and I was fine. But when u took my second dose the garcinia I went into OK withdrawal with in 2hrs. I rele don't how to take this without feel the withdrawal symptoms. i heard it treats methadone like a toxin and pushes it out!

Is it Known to be bad for you to mix methadone .adderol and Garcinia Cambogia

It's because the supplement pushes out toxins in your body. It flushes out your body in a way.

Hello, I started taking Garcinia Cambogia and on methadone (110 mg) I gained over 100 lbs now weighing 220. Although, I haven't noticed much weight loss at all, I found that taking the garcinia was more bearable if taken at night. When I wake up I have alot of energy but I assume taking it at night diminishes the purpose of helping me be more active, ect. I am making a Dr app to discuss my routine so I will keep you posted. But I recommend this only because I do not feel withdraw at any amount what so ever. Withdrawal is my biggest fear. I am hoping this helps with tapering over time. When your physical is energised and happy, your attitude blossoms.
Great luck. Shall talk soon.
And FYI.. I would say there is a couple days in the beginning where you feel slightly achy but nothing remotely close to terrible.

I bought garcinia myself and i felt sick the 1st time but wasn't too bad. I stopped taking it but i mentioned on fb that im trying the garcinia and someone that knows im on methadone mentioned u can withdrawal if u mix the two, so i started to google and found out many people have been withdrawing when taking the two. I think bring it up to ur dr to see what they suggest...

I was devastated to read this seeing that i got my Garcinia last night . Thanks for the advice on the 2- 4 your window. I fixed at 11 yesterday took my first dose of Garcinia at 7pm and felt fine was even asleep on the couch by 10. I've been taking hydroxy cut as well and felt fine. I've been on methadone for 10 years . I only go to the clinic 2wice a week so maybe I'll try splitting my dose today just incase.

Wow. You're a real sweetheart ain't ya?! Sry, but maybe not everyone has the incentive or the "get up and go" on them...not bc of laziness! Could be some may have medical issues that hinder them from being able to exercise or as you'd say "get off their butts" and "stop being lazy and depending on pills" right?
