If anyone knows of ANY Dr. that will give me my methadone without an MRI located in FL (Daytona Beach) but willing to travel. Please help with info. of Dr. Name , address, phone etc. Thanx ## Hello, Krissy! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.

I used heroin last night and I'm taking methadone plus Norco. Can I get off on blaming my test being positive for opiates on my medications? please respond ## NO!! If u have opiates in ur system the only way could be from heroin, perks, oxys..exc..but methodone no.no opiates.. ## I don't know I'm wondering the same thing but apparently the guy that responded before you didn't read your entire question because methadone is NOT an opiate but NORCO is an opiate (its hydrocodone) but since your body synthesizes heroin into MORPHINE I'm not sure what it would show up as. I'm trying to figure out the same thing... ## Methadone is a synthetic OPIOID. On a drug test, heroin shows up as exactly what it is...diacetylmorphine. It is easily distinguishable from methadone, mo...

Had been in hospic for Aids. Doc thought I would die, but got better. Placed on 150 mg of methadone per day and 30 mg of morphine per hour (using 20 to 22 pills a day). Two weeks ago informed no pain clinic would treat me because of high dosages. Sent home for hospice two weeks ago and told they would begin the detox from methadone. Went from 150 to 140 to 130 to 125 to present dosage of 100mg of morphine and same amount of morphine. I would like to know what symptoms and side effects will I experience from detoxing this quickly from the methadone. ## Hi Anna! The withdrawals r TERRIBLE!

I've moved here from California and was on methadone for pain, I went to advanced pain in Missoula and Montana spine and pain and they were against any drugs. Does anyone know a methadone Dr willing to help a 5X back surgery patient who is in chronic pain! ## Hello, Holly! How are you doing? I am sorry about the problem that you're having. Most doctors are going to balk, if you walk in asking for a medication that is as addictive as Methadone. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. What you really need to do is set up an appointment with a new doctor, make sure they get a full copy of your most current medical records and then discuss your treatment o...

I have been on 125mg of methadone for the past ten years, also on klonopin even longer, but for the past two years the program wants me off the klonopin, because of the risk, but never had any problems with the meds. I'm getting so mad with the program, I told them to take me off the methadone, but they don't think that would be smart, I don't care what they want. My body I know what makes me feel normal, it's just a dumb move for me to walk off the methadone, but they won't give me any help other than what they want. I'm scared of what I might do. I've been on both meds so long, I don't feel any different, I feel I need something different because I don't think I'm benefiting from either of them any more, I want to use, have bad panic attacks.

I've been on methadone due to cp for the last 9 years, presently taking 120mg. daily. My current pm has adopted a new "NO METHADONE" policy and he will be weaning me off while placing me on some other medication. the problem is i've been on just about every other pain med.I'm 55 years old and don't play games i never failed a ua or refused any procedures. He said the office is no longer going to assume the responsibility of prescribing the methadone. Does any one know of a doctor in the Floyd area of Va.

white ## AN 627 is 50mg tablets of Tramadol ## Julia is correct, this tablet does not contain Methadone. It is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 50mgs of Tramadol, which is a mild opioid that is used to treat pain. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Are there any questions? Can I help with anything?

Drug tested thru court for heroine/opiates, have been clean for 45+ days with exception of prescribed meds from PCP which have been done with for a while. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I have not used!
