Can I take muscle relaxes with methadone such as zanaflex ## Hello, Bri! How are you? Any new medication should always be checked out with your doctor or pharmacist, to be safe and make sure that it won't cause any dangerous interactions and you should never take a prescription medication that hasn't been prescribed for you. There are no interactions listed between Methadone and Zanaflex, but you should double check this information to be certain. 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.

I need to find a doctor here in Louisville that can prescribe me methadone. I just recently got put on my husband's insurance plan which is Blue Cross Blue Shield. I was in a bad car wreck few years back so my back is in major pain on a daily basis! I even have at least 1-2 times a month that my back goes out completely and I can't walk or even move. So I was put on pain pills and not only did they not even really help that much, but they messed my stomach up so bad that I was hospitalized for liver trouble a couple years ago. After that I started going to the clinic to receive Methadone. Not only is it way too expensive, but I now that I have insurance I just want to start going to a regular doctor and just get my methadone prescribed now. I need help to find a doctor to do thi...

I've been a H addict for a long time and switched to methadone about 6 years ago. I have tapered myself down from 100 mg to 6 mg. I know when I'm going into withdrawal, I am physically addicted not mentally, and I don't think I'm going into withdrawal from this low dose. I know the half-life of methadone is 36 hours but its about 31 hours since my last dose, waiting on purpose, and I feel fine. ## Hello, Robbin! Are you still doing well? Methadone is a funny drug, while it does cause severe addiction itself in many people that take it, there seems to be a small subset of people that just have no issues with it and can walk away quite easily.

I have a script for methadone. Took it to Walgreens,but they said it cant be filled until November11,2013... I really need my meds before i go into terrible WD. Plz help... ## If you are at a pain clinic, then you need to call them and tell them you've either had a bad month and over-taken and work with them to get you back on track. If its your family doctor? Be ware, they may cut you off completely. I've been down the road of methadone and it was a terrible drug to be on for me personally. I told my doctor to put me back on Percocets and I've been fine ever since. Nobody can get your script filled but you, however you do need your doctor or pain management doctor to understand its not working for you as you shouldn't be out so early if they were. ## Does anyone know of...

I live in Birmingham, AL and I just can't afford getting my methadone though a clinic since I lost my job, and I do not have insurance. Are there any doctors in the local area who prescribe methadone as maintenance program? ## I'm sorry, but under the current laws, private practice doctors cannot prescribe it for addiction/maintenance treatment. That can only be done in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use for such. Learn more Methadone details here.

How are you and your husband doing? Due to the new regulations that were put in place this year, if he requires such medications on a long-term, ongoing basis then he''ll need to see specialists and yes, that's plural, because he'd need to see a pain management specialist for pain and someone else for the anxiety.

I have a white pill with the inscription 14 45 m and believe it to be Methadone. Is it considered to be a narcotic? ## HI edman, To answer your question, yes, Methadone is considered to be a synthetic (man-made) narcotic; which is often used to treat addiction to other narcotics as well as relieve severe pain. Regarding your pill imprint "14 45 M", is it possible that you may have read that upside down? Only asking because the correct marking for this particular white pill is listed as "M 57 71" It is manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and has a National Drug Code of 00406-5771. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Methadone Details I hope this info helps!

My husband was prescribed Methadone for chronic pain associated with an amputation of his leg. We have since moved, and the new doctor doesn't want to prescribe Methadone and prescribed him oxycontin and oxycodone instead. He has not been asked to give a urine sample yet for the new doctor. How long will he test positive for the Methadone? He was on it for years and we have been told that it stays in the system longer than other medications. I was also asking because he is searching for a job, and I wouldn't want him to test positive for something that he is no longer taking. He was on 60mg's/day before the new doctor changed his medication. I wanted to know if it took days, or weeks or longer to get out of his system. Any information would be appreciated!

i noticed alot of people who start taking methadone gain wieght, and not cause there not running the streets no more and the few times ive taken for a month to 4 months at a time throughout my life ive gained wieght it kinda gives me the munchies like if i used pot, and im wondering if it slows your matabalism down could this also be the reason for wieght gain? i like to use opiots to get high but because they are so unaffordable these days im thinking about going to methadone clinic again but dont want to get fat from it i wonder even if i fought the munchies and didnt overeat will i still gain wieght from the slower matabalism thing??? ## Most opiates do tend to slow the body down, it's actually the rare person that gets an energy charge from them and doesn't gain weight with ...

Just looking for a private doc to get methadone. I am tired of going to the clinic everyday ## Hello, Little One! How are you? I'm sorry, but a private doctor isn't allowed to prescribe it for addiction treatment. That can only be done by those that have been specially trained in its use for such, which means a clinic is your only option. But have you considered treatment with Suboxone? Learn more Suboxone details here. It is prescribed to be taken at home, rather than daily treks to a clinic and it also usually allows people to end up completely drug free, rather than requiring a lifetime maintenance dose like Methadone. It is, however, still a narcotic opiate, so it does have the potential to be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness,...

There are so many different answers/opinions on this topic. So i was hoping to get a simple yes or no answer. I am prescribed liquid methadone from a treatment center. I recently got a new job and im about to get hired in, but before that happens I have to go to the hospital for an initial drug test. I know it helps that I do have a prescription for the medicine I take and im not just taking drugs off the street, but with all that said, does it actually show up on a test? Should I be prepared and just get a slip from the doctor before going to take the drug test at the hospital? ## It might show up if the company/hospital requesting the test gets a detailed panel of drugs tested for. Some home urine drug test will also have it on a multi-panel configuration such as a 12 panel urine dip ...

is their any doctors in bucks county p.a methadone pills for chronic pain ## Hello, Rich! How are you? Unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors in any given location that will prescribe any certain medication. I'm sure you can imagine the issues such a thing may cause, especially when it comes to controlled substances. Learn more Methadone details here. Additionally, since Methadone is so highly addictive, most doctors are reluctant to prescribe it for pain and usually prefer to stick with safer options. Do you have a PCP that you see regularly? If so, they may be able to refer you to a doctor that can help.
