The time period between taking only one Suboxone sub film and going back on my methadone 10mg. How long to wait? ## According to the fda..There is no set time between taking suboxone to methadone and vice versa. It solely depending on many factors that differ widely between patients. Most addiction specialists agree that a patient must be in mild to moderate withdrawal to switch between the two drugs. This may range between 8 hours to 5 days after the last dose. Many doctors specializing in addiction wait 3 days (72 hours) after there is no trace of said drug found in a drug panel.. This is becoming standard protocol in many states. My conclusion is this: only you know your own body and how long after suboxone that you feel chills, fatigue, sweats, and nausea. Once feeling these symptom...

Asc116 - white flat like pill. I found in my sons pocket ## This tablet is manufactured by Ascend Laboratories and they list it as containing 10mgs of Methadone, which is an opiate that is commonly used to treat pain and drug addiction. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

my son has lost all his id and cannot get into methdone clinic around here was wondering if there is any dr. in south jersey that perscribes it ## Your son will have to have his ID to be seen at a clinic or at a drs office. Private drs aren't allowed to prescribe Methadone for addiction maintance, so he will have to go to a clinic. Private drs are only allowed to prescribe Methadone for chronic severe pain. But, he won't be treated anywhere without proper ID. ## He can go to any methedone clinic but he must have some ID that's definitely a must! There's a toms river clinic that will take him on 37 east

I apologize if I say something that is out of line/unable to disclose-not my intention at all, please let me know. I am seeking a general practitioner just because I need a doctor. I didn't realize how much I depended on my pain management doctor to handle all of my medical concerns. He's written me antidepressants, called in an us for a kidney stone, diagnosed a minor heart condition, and many other things. I was recently dismissed for violating my pain mgmt agreement and when I asked what I should do, I was told my only hope is a methadone clinic or suboxone. I had a future appt that was cancelled and was not given a final script. I've seen the research and I feel I'd rather marry my worst ex than start taking suboxone. I'm not trying to trade one for another. I al...

I have read articles on Methadone. I started in 1970 and came off a few times and went back. I was 90 lbs and went to 300 lbs, now I can not walk because my knees have been eaten away by my drug use. I threw away my Methadone, but my doctor says big yes and writes me a prescription for non-generic. She says it is not as strong as the generic version. I now have a problem with this medication. My endorphins are asleep, and I can not feel pain when taking Methadone. It is so crazy, I hate the day I got on this drug. ## I too got on it in 1970 and it didn't ruin yours or my life. It's 41 years later and you are alive! As far as getting like a porker, that's because you're not running the streets any more for drugs. I gained 70 pounds by pigging out! I just lost 85 and back ...

I took 4 methadone on Wednesday or Thursday... And I'm getting drug screened today which is Tuesday for probation. I took the methadone for my back and I did it because I can't be seen by my doc till next week... Will the methadone still be in my system? A lot at risk... Could get violated for the first time on probation in almost 8 months and I don't want to go to jail... I got 4 kids. Scared to death to fail this screen... Anybody know if I should be alright?

I really need too know how is it possible to get addicted to methadone?i thought it didnt give you a euorphic effect! I am worried and need too know what too watch for since im taking it longterm for severe pain. I havnt been taking it much cuz ive dealt with addiction before,but I know at this point its the only solution I have left! please help,what are the signs and symptons I need too watch for? ## Just like any other drug, Methadone can affect everyone differently, so some people may get euphoria from it, which could encourage them to abuse it. And Methadone is very well known to be habit forming, even in people that don't abuse it and only use it exactly as prescribed. This is actually called dependence, not addiction and it can occur with anything that you ingest regularly on...

I'm in a methadone clinic and have slowed down my herion habit a lot. I got it down to 1 or 2 days a week but can't get any clean urine which is putting me in jeopardy. I have had anywhere from 3-7 days in between not dosing and taking the test and they all keep coming up dirty. I don't even take that much and the herion is black tar so it's not anything special. These people at the clinic think I'm full of it and lying to them but it's the truth. I don't know if something is wrong with my liver or metabolism that it stays I'm my system for that long but I pretty much gotta quit all together before I get kicked out.

On methadone for chroic pain 4 10mgl a day still sufferm so I tried a 50 dollar herion in a 2 day peroid I snorted it YUK! It don't help and made me ill. Serious nasty dirty stuff and I want it out of my system. How long will it take? It was like 7 lines. ## It depends on ur weight,how good the stuff was,and how good ur metabolism is.For me it takes a week to get herion out of my system,it should only take 3/4 days just drink a lot of water and ur be good in 3 days

How do you get a Family Practice Doctor to take out a False Readout that said positive for Methadone in my file? They sent out another toxicology report and it came back negative for methadone but I have asked them to take this false report out because it is WRONG and they refuse! Can I see a lawyer and get it taken out? I plan on going to a different practice and I feel this is a Red Flag if I go to another group. If I need pain meds they will think I am a druggie! Don't know what that is (methadone) and don't plan on ever taking it. I've had 12 back surgeries and I do take what the doctor gives me but nothing else! Can you tell me how to get them to take it out of my Permanent Record? I went online and saw this in my health history. They lied and said they read it wrong an...

Can I take 35mgs. of methadone and 60mgs morphine? ## Hello, Jason! How are you? These two medications really shouldn't be mixed, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. Learn more Morphine details here. Learn more Methadone details here. 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. Both of them cause sedation and, if someone isn't opiate tolerant, it could sedate them to far, basically causing an overdose, per se. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes you can, ONLY IF YOUR PHYSICIAN HAS PRESCRIBED THEM TO YOU. THEY HAVE FOUND, THAT FOR SOME ODD REASON IT DECREASES THE DEPENDENCE LEVELS. Note: I am assuming if your doctor presc...

does the phentol patch contain methadone? ## I'm sorry, did you mean Phentol, which refers to Phentolamine and is used to treat hypertensive emergencies or did you mean Fentanyl, which is a narcotic to treat pain? Neither one contains Methadone. Fentanyl contains exactly that, it is the active ingredient. It is a narcotic used to treat chronic pain. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. ## Hi, very informative , I appreciate the comments. I recently was told by a pharmacist that I might check into phentol patches for cancer pain, so it will not cause constipation. ## Do not do patches if u have done methadone or any other medications or opioids u will O.D trust me I speak from experience.

Hi my name is Lisa. I posted a question a few months ago and I stumbled upon some answers and now I can't find the link. I live on long Island and have been prescribed methadone for over 8 years from my pcp but due to all the drs getting in trouble he will no longer let the pa write it for me. It's for pain and I'm having a terrible time trying to find a dr to write it. I have all my records so that's not a problem. If there is anyone out there that can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
