I'm trying to find a private doctor in the Charlotte North Carolina area that will prescribe me Methadone? I travel a lot with my job and the clinic is pretty much as inconvenient as possible. Anybody know one? ## Many private doctors will not provide Methadone treatment, unless it is a last resort for pain and nothing else has worked. It requires constant regular monitoring of the patient, as well as accountability to the government for all prescriptions written. Have you considered a possible shorter-term treatment with Suboxone? Most people can successfully get off it, without severe problems, after treatment. ## I am a Director of Quality for a manufacturing facility in Goldsboro. I am new to the area. i come from KY. where I am prescribed methadone by my family Dr for pain. I r...

I gave all my drug history and wanted to get into a methadone clinic because i've been battling opiate addiction and they said the medical staff suggested that I go to a non opiate clinic and im pissed. How do I get accepted? They wont tell me why they denied me? Please help me, I really need this. ## Hey Dandrea. The only reasons I could come up with for them to say you should try non-opiate clinics for help would be: 1.) You took a drug panel and during the U/A your levels of opiates weren't present or didn't match the dose you claimed you were using regularly. 2.) During some point in the conversation, the doctor decided your behavior, responses, and withdrawal symptoms did not warrant a script for hardcore opiates.

My Dr. who prescribed me 150mg a day of methodone pill form since 2000. He informed me today it was his last day and quit his practice. Does anyone know a pain Dr.that prescribes methadone in kansas City, Kansas. I a m fighting to save my arms and legs and cannot function without my medicine. I have 9 weeks to find a Dr.before I need more medicine please help. ## Hello, Petrified! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you'e having. However, if you're hunting for a new doctor by asking if they'll prescribe it, the problem is likely just going to continue. Doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior. What you really need to do is set up an appointment with a new pain management specialists, make sure they get a full copy of your most recent medical records, then ...

pain from surgery sucks. I wouldnt take more than ur dose for each day its not worth withdrawing when u run out a few days before u go back to clinic plus if u get a bottle recall they will take ur bottles! They wont want to hear about ur pain or excuses in their mind! U should talk to ur counsler and up ur dose. Methadone is super addictive and very easy to take more than ur daily dose. Hope things work out good luck ## I got called in for a bottle count on a Saturday and I was told that never happens. Am I in trouble or what?

I took 30mg on Tuesday and 30mg yesterday (Wednesday) Today I missed my 30mg dose and I was wondering is it safe if I take a 10mg Perocet today and will I feel anything? Let me know asap! ## Chances are you'll have no effect due to the methadone blocking the receptors in which those meds set off that euphoric feeling..(you may have a slight euphoric feeling due to a low dosage, but I wouldn't count on it if that's what your going for ) you'd basically be wasting your money and time and medication.. it will tho possibly help for pain.. ## Is it safe to take percocet 10 3 times a day on top 15 mg morphine sulfate pills 4 times a day?

I was just wondering how long it takes methadone tablets to begin to show up or ENTER your urine?? I know everyone is different, and there are variables, but if you could tell me the range of time that would be so very helpful. ## How long does it take for Chrystal Meth to get into the bladder? I smoke one hit from glass pipe 5 hours earlier ## Can you mix Methadone with Fentanyl patchs? ## how long does it take a 10 mg methadone pill to show in your urine test after you take it ## NO...Do you want to die? Don't know who this is but please be very careful ## How long after you take a 5mg methadone will it show up in your urine?

This pill is a small white pill with west ward and the numbers 473 it is commonly referred to as methadone. This pill is methadone 10 mgs. ## Hi christopher, Based on my research, this pill is actually NOT methadone at all. A white round pill imprinted with "West-ward 473" on one side and a score line on the back, is identified as Prednisone (10mg). For verification, this pill is manufactured by West-ward pharmaceuticals and the National Drug Code (NDC) is: 00143-1473 Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It works to treat a wide variety of other conditions as well by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way ...

If you take methadone 30mg two times in two days (30mg per day) and have not taken anymore at all for 7 days will you pass a drug test at a pain management clinic on the 8th day? Also I have not taken methadone 14 days prior to the days the 30 mg was taken. ## Your chance are slim it won't show up opiates take 3 to seven days to leave the body it's how much you took before drug test and when you quit before test that counts cross your fingers you could be ok

I have been taking methadone for 6 year every day as prescribed. Just got off two 3 weeks ago. Is it possible for methadone to stay in ur system for longer because I was on it so long? My po is saying I showed up hot for methadone after only 2 weeks of being off. ## I've been told methodone is stored in body fat and in your bones and internal organs like any drug that Accumalates in your body like this after years of use it's possible even if your clean the body when active can release the methadone stored from years of use that's how we have relapses we taste our drug of choice in our saliva because it's released from your body after being stored in body fat you are now burning

My husband has been on methadone for 8 months at 10-15 mg per day. He recently has gotten put on probation and has to come off of it. How long will it take him to show up clean on a drug test? ## Does anyone know how long the withdrawal symptoms and going to last or how to ease them? ## Tell him to keep going, his probation can't make him get off if he has a prescription. He can tell them to lick his nuts. It fills under the disability act ## He kept taking it, failed his drug test and they VIOLATED him! Now he is on his way to jail and his lawyer won't help. The lawyer said he's done with the case. This place doesn't care about law or human rights. It's all about money and how much of it that they can stick you for. My family is doomed without my husband. I hate thi...

People are asking these questions not to be told the answers off the label! I take subs, then have no problem taking any opiate!! I never had any problems! I don't know much about methadone but just swallowed one. I took about 3mg of sub this a.m with 600 mg of neurontin / gabapentin and about 4 hrs later I took the methadone and am planning on taking at least 80 mg of Roxy thru tonight. Yesterday I took 4mg of sub about 100mg of Roxy thru the night and felt amazing! Took sub this a.m NO PROBLEM. So all this u have to wait to take subs is something I don't personally believe. I take subs when I run out of Roxy or other opiates, to not get sick. ## Tell you what. Here's what you do.

I'm used to taking 10 mg of methadone with an M on it. Now I've been given a round white pill with 54/142 ASC. I am sleepy, nauseous, and have no energy. I've never felt this way before, in fact the M's give me energy. Why is this happening? ## I imagine you're getting a generic version.. How do they get away with this? Do the pharmacies benefit by automatically changing this over possibly making more money with a generic? I've experienced this with other drugs and since there is no way of knowing if the generic version is up to the standard of the original, who knows if you're getting the maximum benifit that you're meant to get? ## I can tell you without a doubt that they are generic. I get the same pills but with different results. After they quit givi...

I have just moved to south FL. and been on methadone for 10 years. I have all my records, but Dr's. in FL are all scared to take on new people from out of state. Trust me when i say It's only to take care of my 82 year old mom that I moved. I will be moving right back to Ca. when I can, but for now can anyone help with a DR.?

I can't afford to keep going to the methadone clinic I have medicare &medicade insurance I have 2 herniated disc in my neck and methadone helps the pain the best and I also have herniated in my back ,so when some one needs pain medicine they treat you like a criminal ## Hello, Leah! How are you? I'm sorry, but if you've been going to an addiction treatment clinic, you're kind of stuck. General doctors can only prescribe it for pain according to the current laws. So, even if you were going to a clinic for pain, the fact that its an addiction clinic is what's in your records, so no other doctor will be able to prescribe it for you. I know that no one informs you of this and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is the way things stand, at this time. ...

I take 100mg of methadone for strictly pain maintenance for my crippling pain. I've been on this dose for nine years. I was just tested due to my fiancé being on narcotics.

Got a drug screen to take for a job, what can I take or do to pass the drug screen?? ## Methadone is not usually included on standard drug screens, it requires a specialized test to be detected, so yes, if they were not using the right test, they may not have detected it. Sometimes, it is just thought of as an opiate, and they think it will show up as one, but it's metabolites don't show up like other opiates, such as Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, or etc. ...

Hello, I have a employment drug screen tomorrow and I want to know if methadone will show up as an opiate. Thank you. ## Nope. Methadone has to be specifically tested for. I've passed many a five panel with dones in my system. It's my go to as my employer drug tests frequently. ## Summel is correct, Methadone is not something that is usually included on standard drug tests, it requires special screening that is specifically looking for it, according to NIH studies. Is there anything else I can help with?
