Methadone And Garcinia Cambogia (Page 7) (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?

The reason this is happening is due to the green coffee beans. As you are aware coffee is a stimulant and diarretic. (Makes you pee). So the coffee is reving up your body and causing your heart to pump faster. Your blood is being pushed through the liver and kidneys and the methadone is being metabolized faster than normal. You are also going to the bathroom at least once every four hours and you are peeing away more methadone.

Garcinia on its own is good enough for weight loss. The idea of green coffee is to stimulate your system. Garcinia does this through the Hypothalamus which controls temp, sleep and a host of other things that take weight off.

It also may cause some insomnia, but just mute you get a pure extract. A lot of people sell crap on the net. Be safe. Drop the coffee. Drink it so you can control the dosage.

It's a withdrawal. The Garcinia is a detox - it cleans out your system. I myself wanted to go on it but I can't cause of that reason. I hope and pray you find another way. Jesus be with you.

Re: Mel (# 124)

Hey mel my name is Alicia I too have been on methadone for 6yrs. I am on 70 mg and dropping 2 mg every two weeks because of the exact same issues. Weight gain and teeth issues. I have always been around 115 lbs but since I've started methadone I have gained 60lbs I have since been doing an exercise program twice daily 6 dayd a week with piyo and cardio dance class and I dieting I have lost about 20lbs but still trying to get down to pre methadone weight, I just got clearance from my clinic to use hydroxycut so I'm going to add it in slowly and see if it works. I'll post and let everyone know goodluck and I hope the best for you.

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!

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.

Or... get off methodone! Methadone does NOTHING for pain. If you want to loose weight,Start coming off of methadone 3 to 5 mgs every other week! Methadone is the worst thing to be on! I Took myself off,and within the first month, I lost 20 pounds. Someone said it looks like someone took a pin to your ass! You need to be off of methadone before you can loose ANY weight!

It cracks me up...Why are you people even bothering? You all want that instant fix! First off, why are some of you after 6 to 9 months still going to the clinic everyday? You should be getting take homes, so your obviously taking other substances! You will never loose weight and keep it off if you want even commit to the clinics rules! Why would you want to go to the clinic everyday but sunday, and you probably take your sunday bottle before you leave the parking lot! You will NOT loose methadone weight till you are off methadone!

It's the Methadone, which works great for pain for a few hours, but when each dosage was 'through' my system, I started to go through W/D's= 4x a day for years! Reason I got off. IT IS THE METHADONE, PERIOD.
