I've been on 95 mg. Of liquid methadone for 4 yrs. I am 330lbs 39 yrs old and quit 3 days ago cold turkey um im very afraid now. Please tell me what can I expect to happen? Please ## As reported by the FDA, withdrawal symptoms may possibly include nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, rebound pain, depression, anxiety and diarrhea. Quitting cold turkey generally isn't advised, because this medication is very hard to get off of. How are you doing with it? ## I'm not sure just staying home the diarria started today I just couldn't afford methadone anymore. My counselor advised against but I'm tired of taking it everyday since I started 4 yrs ago I went from 180lbs to 345lbs and now I just want my life back thanks for the help. ## HEY! GOOD LUCK, AND DON'T EVEN GO ON GO...

Looking for a pain management doctor in the pittsburgh area. I m a combat veteran that has been in multiple IED explosions that messed up my back and neck and gives me constant headaches. Unfortunately the VA refuses to help me because I told them I had a problem with the vicodin and perks they gave me after two surgeries a few years ago, I took too many b/c they werent helping, but now i'm marked as an addict. I have been on 20-25mg methadone pills for two years now and it has done wonders for me, no need for anything else and can work while on it. Unfortunately hat source is gone now and I am in trouble, I would goto the clinic at VA if I had transportation every morning but that's impossible for me. Anyone that could help, with info or whatever please let me know. {edited for...

I am looking for a doctor in Sacramento, CA who will prescribe methadone pills, not juice, for heroin addiction. ## Private doctors are not allowed to prescribe Methadone to treat drug addiction, in order to do so, they must be specially trained and it must be administered in a clinic setting. Any doctor can prescribe it for pain, but if you're contacting them to specifically ask them to prescribe it, that's often viewed as drug seeking behavior. Learn more Methadone details here. Do you have a problem with the liquid Methadone? ## Im looking for a doctor who can prescribes methodoine pills in the Sacramento area.

I am on Suboxone 8/2. I am scheduled to have serious back surgery, Spinal Fusion. Does Suboxone address the pain caused by surgery? Or will I need to go back to vicodin and oxycotin? ## Hello, Red! How are you? It is entirely up to your doctor, but most people don't get a lot of pain relief from Suboxone and do end up needing to take something else for awhile, after surgery. The FDA classifies this medication as 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. Can anyone that's been on it and had surgery chime in with their experience?

I am to appear in court soon regarding my children and their father. He has filed for custody because of someone who I had in my home who got arrested on drug charges. I have been in no trouble what so ever. CPS is not involved but will be drug tested by the courts. My question is if I am receiving methadone dosed by a clinic would this go against me since it would be prescribed by a doctors office? Guess I'm just looking for someone who has been through this or someone who knows the ins and outs with prescribed medicines and courts. Do they look down or can this be used against a person?

It's the only thing that will give me pain relief all day and its affordable ## Hello, Jon! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. Yes, any doctor that has a license to prescribe medications can prescribe it for pain, the only restriction is when it's being prescribed for drug addiction. However, many will not do so, because it carries a very high risk of being habit forming, as warned by the FDA and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hydroxyzine 50mg 4 time daily. Bus par 60 mg daily clonazapam 1mg 3a day melatonin 10mg bedtime. Does any take away the effect of methadone. I am on 244 mg a day due to rapid metabolism. Had, a few peak and trough to determine this. I have gen anxiety disorder and ptsd and fibro. Also medial temporal sclerosis I'm on lamictal for mood. And undocumented seizures.

my grandaughter has been on methadone drink for five years now and her teeth are rotting away terribly fast. Is there another way she can take this drug? ## Hello, Verlie! How are you and your granddaughter? There are other forms available, such as tablets, but that won't likely help the problem. Opiates are all well known for causing dental decay, with long-term use, because they can cause mineral loss in the body. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Has she consulted a dentist? A cleaning and sealant may help slow down the decay.

I took a 3rd of suboxone 12 hours ago and I'm trying to wait but was wondering if I took my other medication would it be a waste? ## I'm putting this on here because too many people say nope u gotta wait 48 hours. Common sense sais u probably aren't filling all the receptors. And as every hour goes by after peak blood concentration its coming out of the receptors. The two will compete but if u use enough u will get releif and possibly high... I've taken subs a year straight everyday and use it in the am. I've used h later that night and while no rush I def got releif and high

Has anyone else heard that they spose to be just prescribing subutex to only women? I am in Ohio and go to PA for doctors and have been hearing a lot of people been having probs idk I mean I know they both the same but I don't like the naloxen even tho I don't abuse it ## Hello, Josh! How are you? It is mainly directed toward being prescribed for pregnant women, or those who have dangerous allergic reactions to the Naloxone. To prevent abuse, while someone is being treated, it is preferred to treat everyone possible with Suboxone.

I need help ASAP ## Hello, Lee! How are you? I'm sorry, but a clinic is your only option. It is illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for addition treatment or maintenance, under current U.S. law, that can only be done by those specially trained in its use for such in a clinical setting. Even those that resorted to a clinic for pain, end up having to remain there, because once that is in your medial records, you have no other option.
