Methadone And Garcinia Cambogia (Page 4) (Top voted 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?

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.

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.

I'm not here to fight about subs versus methadone. I don't want to derail this person's posts and concerns. Although I think you r entitled to your opinion but I was just stating from my own personal experience. I will make comments about this diet drug but below I will respond to you and just explain my own personal experience and you can take that for what it is,my own experience. That's all. (ON THAT NOTE, how bout some more sub users comment on if they got sick from Garcenia, I see a few mentioned but not hardly any. I know it's a methadone thread on GARCENIA negative reactions but it could help if people tolerate GARCENIA with subs better so they can think about a switch.

Now as far as this GARCENIA stuff, my thoughts after reading how it works is it completely speeds up the metabolism as well as supposed to rid your body of toxins. I don't know if it thinks methadone is a toxin or if methadone gets in your fat which the GARCENIA is supposed to get rid of somehow through super increased metabolism but is obvious if you're metabolism is faster than b4, then the drugs get metabolized faster as well. That's fact, not opinion. I can't say a lot of fda studies have been done so who REALLY knows at this point. It takes up to 20 years sometimes more for fda to study and approve most the time so there may be other components that help with the weight.

We have no clue what such fast weight loss from unknown compounds will do to us later. Who knows, you guys are the guinea pigs since it's so new to us.

Now let me address this sub response I got.. Look it works for you awesome,but again,just my own experience and not everyone has the same reactions to drugs of all types. I'm hyper sensitive to the naltrexone I'm certain as well as many other people are as well.

A quick search on naltrexone and allergic reactions and you'll see it really is a thing. It's quite common. I may very well have stuck with subtext over suboxone, whether the bupe, naltrax or both.

Let me get to the facts of what happened to me. I don't know for sure it's a scam, but I had difficulties and b4 u react,please read MY experience. I don't know how u got it so cheap, i never got that deal but 1 x year. Maybe it changed.

So from my experience: 90 8mg tabs/strips were like maybe not as high as I thought I spent but for sure it was around $500 a month. Same amount of methadone (90, 10 mg), around $30. (I was only entitled to the subsidy u speak of once a year, not exactly helpful.) I'm sure there are some programs but I didn't qualify and I'm on well-fare insurance (medi-cal). so you'd think they'd help pay for it monthly. It's not the high cost$ keeping me away, id give up food $ for effective super easy to get subs if it didn't make me feel terrible chronically., but I still don't agree on cost.

Just ask how much it is in the EU, what was that, FREE.... IT took its toll on me mentally constantly not feeling good.

So I just can't justify a $500 out of pocket expense. Why not allow the far cheaper subutex since it does exact same without discomfort to people sensitive to naltrax??? It's just a deterrent but doesn't deter abuse whatsoever so why bother adding to the expense and lying about how it prevents abuse. Many of us have read in forums how people abuse suboxone which they'll tell you to your face it'll make you sick AND what they don't say is it dissent matter, buperenorphine overpowers naltrax, just bounces right off receptors since the buperenorphine is far more clingy so you don't get sick. May feel discomfort if like me you're sensitive to narcan and like drugs.

That's why I think it's a scam. The price and the fact people aren't even offered the cheap alternative of subutex. (It still works the same, keeps you blocked from full-on agonist). The reason people aren't offered subutex is they say abuse potential is higher. What a joke, come on.

It's all about the Benjamin's.

I know this is 2yrs ago but its withdraws. I too am on methadone & the 1st time I took the Garcinia cambogia (before I went to bed that night), early the next morning I felt like I was hit by a truck. It's not a coincidence. But I don't understand myself why it would interact like that smh.

I read somewhere to take the garden is 2-4hours befor taking the methadone, I just recieved received the garcenia zt& green coffee zt in the mail today. Reading all of this is definitely making me procrastinate with taking it. I'll probably wait until i get my take home bottles so I can take it a few hours before I dose bc during the week I dose at 7am so waking up super early & taking the supplements before that isn't ideal for me

I take 100 mgs of liquid methadone a day and been taking forskolin and garcinia extract for over a month so far and haven't had any withdrawal. My husband is on 60 mgs of methadone he thinks that it leaves his system quicker so he takes two F&G tablets when he wakes and around noon takes he methadone dose then around 6pm takes two more F&G tablets. He since then has had no problems with withdrawal. I believe it's just everyone's bodies are different..

Hi I have been taking methadone for about 7 years and I just got my garcinia Cambogia in the mail and now I'm scared to take it, I have been reading all the messages about everyone starts to withdrawal soon after taking it. I wonder if it would help to detox the methadone out of my system so I could finally be off of methadone!! I've gained a lot of weight and my teeth are getting cavities one after another!

I would say since that garcinia acts almost like a cleanse i can deffinetly say that it is causing you to withdrawl. The only reason methadone will not work well is if its really really old. If your experiencing those symptoms i would try doing a split dose that way you have some for after you take the garcinia if you continue to use it.

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.

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...

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

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!

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