Methadone And Thrive Supplement (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

I'm wondering if I could take "Thrive" - the supplement that everyone is taking, because it looks like it's only vitamins?

So I know this form is old, but I landed here a few days ago in search of info on taking thrive while prescribed to methadone. I wasn't able to find any info on this combination anywhere, and this was the only single form that had this topic. So even though it's an old form, I'm going to post here, for anyone else who may land here in search of some info. So on to my reply...
I have no sound medical advice on this,only my experience, and I don't have much experience at this point but I will post updates.
I was a little nervous about taking thrive with methadone, if your on methadone then I'm sure your aware that methadone messses with your hearts QT line, and be quite dangerous when it comes to heart issues, and any sort of diet/workout supplement, like thrive, is going to get your heart racing, so that's where I'm a little nervous about it. But my life is really in a slump lately and I thought I'd give it a go anyway. I haven't found anything that recommends not mixing tribe with medications that affect your hearts QT line, and methadone isn't the only medication that does this, so I'm sure if it was an issue there would be something somewhere warning against this. Now on to my experience with thrive .....
As I mentioned at this point I don't have much experience with this other than a few days, but so far I'm really into it, it's been unreal. I've been on methadone for almost 10 years now, my dose is 100mg a day. Typically when I wake up in the morning I feel very sluggish and weak until I take my drink, and then for about an hour after until the drink takes its full effect. If I happen to leave the house first thing in the morning and forget to take my drink (this happens very rarely, as I said I need to take it very first thing) it ruins my day I feel absolutely horrible without it, weak and sluggish, I'm thinking I may need my dose increased because I shouldn't feel this way after only 24 hours of having my last drink, but I want to come down off this stuff, not up, so I'm staying where I'm at. Anyway back to the topic, when taking thrive your supposed to take the pills before your feet even hit the floor in the morning, while your still in bed, they make me feel so good and energetic so quickly, that every day since I started taking it I've forgotten to take my drink until after dinner time, and i still feel great at that point, I've done strenuous workouts and powered through them like a champ, without even having a my drink in me, and typically I can't even shower without having my drink in me in the morning becaus I feel so sluggish and weak. So, it's only been a few days of taking thrive and I'm absolutely in love with it, it's given me sooo much energy, I sleep with the patch on so I believe that's what making me feel so good in the mornings, normally when I wake up I literally have to drag myself out of bed, it takes me a while to wake up and get going, but now with thrive it's like as soon as I open my eyes I'm well awake and refreshed. My mood has been tremendously elevated, all in all I just feel great! I haven't felt this good in, literally, years!.I feel like this will really help me to wean off of methadone, since it gives me that huge extra boost of energy and helps my mood, and the fact that I can get up in the mornings and do strenuous things without taking my drink, I think this would be a great time to start slowly weaning down. But, as I said it's only been a few days, so I'm not going to jump into weaning just yet, I'm gonna give it some time and see if this stuff keeps up this performance, if so I will consider a miracle drug! I will update my progress over time. (Sorry for the novel of a post lol and all the rambling, I'm just trying to be as detailed as possible, since when I'm searching for info I want to know lots of details!)
Oh and p.s - I haven't felt any major heart pounding or jitters or anything like that.

Ok thanks for the info. I have talked with 3 different pharmacists and they said it should be fine. Like you said I just have to try it.

Are you referring to 'Thrive' made by a company called "Le-Vel"? If so, I've looked at the nutrition facts listed on their product page for the men's multivitamin supplement and compiled what it contains below:

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 1.4 mg 100%
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 1.7 mg 100%
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 12 mg 60%
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) 10 mg 100%
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 2 mg 100%
Folic acid 800 mcg 200%
Vitamin B12 100 mcg 1667%
Vitamin D3 200 IU 50%
Chromium (as chromium AAC) 200 mcg 167%
Selenium (as Selenium AAC) 90 mcg 125%
Vanadium (as Vanadium AAC) 25 mcg

First off, my belief is that basic vitamins, minerals, probiotics, & amino acids, are fine, considering that a healthy diet SHOULD be well-rounded in these nutrients.

The grey area in my opinion is how well your body responds to substances such as Irvingia which doesn't seem to have much of a background in the medical community; or Synephrine which has been banned by the NCAA due having similar properties as Ephedrine. It's only concerning to me simply because I don't have personal experience with them and everyone is prone to react or respond differently than others.

And as with most natural or unregulated substances, unfortunately the only way to know for sure how it will work is to try it. So personally, even though I suspect it may be ok, I would only consider taking a supplement like this by itself before attempting to mix it with something else (until I developed a sense of how my body responds).

If still in doubt, I'd encourage you to discuss this with your doctor before taking it with methadone or any other prescription drug.
