round brownish z 3626 ## Good news, Z 3626 does not contain Methadone, nor any type of narcotic, so there is nothing to worry about. It contains 100mgs of Doxycycline, which is just an antibiotic. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea. Read more: Are there any comments or questions? ## I am willing to buy your urine , if you have clean urine that contains both methadone and methadone metabolites. I need it to show I am crystal clean (LOL) and taking my methadone as promised.

I fractured my right eye my nose was torn of my face my right check bone and the roof of my mouth was broken to pieces. Iv been on methadone 4 yrs it was free until I moved to colorado springs. It has cost me 800$ so far at the clinic. Please if anyone knows where I can find a doctor help me. ## I'm sorry you're having such difficulties and I really hate to add any bad news to the mix, but if you've been going to an addiction treatment clinic, then that is likely to give you a problem. If they have it noted in your medical records that you've been treated there for addiction, then a regular doctor isn't going to want to prescribe it for you, because they aren't allowed to prescribe it for addiction treatment.

I get 10mg methadone at my dr and i am expecting a drug screen my next visit. i took 85 of then and ran out this morning. my appt. is in 9 days. will it still be in my urine? i need it to be? ## can i get a reply please ## has any one got a reply ## Hi Matt, Based on my research, Methadone can be detected in your urine for an estimated 6-12 days after your last dose. You just have to keep in mind that the length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is also dependent upon several factors, including the frequency and amount of usage, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity, and diet. Having said that, it truly depends on the rest of your lifestyle as well. On the other hand, if you really ended up taking 8...

i've been in a methadone clinic for 5 years. i missed 4 days worth of dosing. i tried to deal with withdrawals, i couldnt. i broke down, and took 1/2 300 mg. on Tuesday and 1 300 mg. on wed.. Thursday at 8am i took half of 800 mg... so i took a total of maybe 800 mg. in 4 days. will it show up in ua after 24 hours of the last one i took?

I have been to several doctors about my knees,I can barely walk at times and its so hard for me to stand at work..ive inquired about the cortisone shots but no one wants to help,all they give is pills that don't help much at all!! Ugh I just want the pain to stop ## Hello, Tonya! How are you? Have you tried seeing a pain management specialist, or a rheumatologist? One of these specialists would likely be your best bet for getting the help you need. Many pain management specialists actually prefer someone try the other options first, before resorting to other options. What is your general location? This information might enable someone to recommend a good doctor in your area. Do you have a PCP that might be able to refer you to someone?

I am looking for what pharmacy in simpsonville sc carries 54375 imprint orange circle sl tab. Need to know asap! Thank you ## Hello, Paprmache! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no listing of pharmacies according to which medication from which manufacturer they have in stock that I can refer to for you. This tablet is manufactured by Roxane Laboratories and they list it as being an 8/2mg generic for Suboxone, which the FDA classifies as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction. It carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Have you tried the various pharmacies in your area?

Ive been on suboxone for 4yrs for chronic pain&addiction but i cant find a sub dr anywhere,will medicaid pay for me to go bk on pain mefs? ## Hello, Phyllis! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. It will actually most likely be the doctors that you'll have a problem with, most will not prescribe pain medications for someone that has had a prior addiction issue. It may be easier for you to just stick with Suboxone, or to use Methadone. The FDA classifies these medications as being narcotic, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you tried the search engine on the Suboxone website? Suboxone.com click here it lets you search by zipcode for doctors in your a...

I was told it was some sort of subutex. But I still haven't found out exactly what this pill is. It's a small white round pill. One side it has a line through it, almost dividing it in half. One the other side it has a mushroom like, T symbol. Some might even say it looks like a lamp. Please help! ## Hello, Jessie! How do you know it's a sublingual tablet? I've gone through all the available pictures and descriptions of Subutex/Suboxone and their generics, but didn't find anything that matches this description. Where was it found?

I was given a fairly large white round pill that seems to be coated. On one side is a large g and the other sife has numbers, it broke so i can only make out a 1 at the bottom. I was told they are generic suboxone. Has anyon ever seen these? ## Yes, that is the new generic suboxone. Should be a quarter moon on one side and 155 on the other. ## @Johnny, I actually think you have a pill by the name of "Metformin" because the imprints match the description you provided. It is a (500 mg) white round pill with a large G on one side and on the other side, the imprint MF over 1. Metformin is an oral anti-diabetic drug in the biguanide class used in the treatment of diabetes, type 2, polycystic ovary syndrome, female infertility, and insulin resistance syndrome.

does anyone know of a doctor in southern ca (ie,oc,la) that will prescribe methadone? or somewhere to get a dr. online? ## Hello, Sicknick! How are you? In order to have Methadone prescribe for any reason, you'll need to actually be physically seen by a doctor for an exam and regular monitoring, while you're on it, so it cannot be prescribed and ordered online. As to getting a doctor to prescribe it, that depends on what you're taking it to treat. If you're taking it for pain, then you'd need to see a pain management specialist. However, if it's for addiction treatment, then you can only be treated for that in a clinical setting by those specially trained in its use for such and it would be illegal for a regular doctor to prescribe it for that. The FDA classifies...

Hi ive been on suboxone for 4yrs but my dr is no longer taking medicaid,and i just found out this week that i have ra,my question is since ive been on suboxone in the padt will medicaid pay for me to get back on pain meds? ## Hello, Phyllis! How are you? If you were on it for addiction treatment, you'll likely have a bigger problem getting a doctor to prescribe it. Most are very reluctant to do so and many will simply recommend that you stay on Suboxone. Has it helped with your pain, at all? You can check for doctors in your area that treat with by using the website Suboxone.com click here. You can search by zip code and the results will include their contact information so you can see if they are accepting new patients and what insurances they accept. The FDA lists this medication ...

Was addicted to opiates for years, took suboxones, a lil @ a time, now on 10mg of methadone, are they the same? ## Hello, Lucky1! How are you? No, they are not the same. Methadone is exactly that, it contains no other active ingredients. Suboxone, however, contains Buprenorphine coupled with Naloxone to prevent the abuse of other opiates, while someone is under treatment with it. The FDA classifies both as narcotic opiates that are most commonly used to treat drug addiction. They carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, drowsiness and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

why are the white suboxone white round pills with 155 on them not as good as the orange pills or the suboxone film that's what im on the white ones and they don't seem to work like the others?? ## @paper rose, One thing to take into account upon comparing this particular tablet with other manufacturers, is that each pill is probably going to contain a different set of inactive ingredients. The binders/fillers found in this white round pill (marked with "155" on one side and a half moon logo on the other) are reported to be: citric acid anhydrous + corn starch + crospovidone + lactose monohydrate + mannitol + magnesium stearate + povidone + sodium citrate + sucralose I would try seeing what substances are being used in the composition of these other brands you've trie...

I dont know where to turn next i just want to break free from it....Will i ever get the help and support i need from these people?Who can i contact to ensure i get the correct help?

I was on a clinic for eight years (at 240 mgs, then 150), came off but had a doctor prescribe me 160mg for 1 1/2 yrs., got cutoff in October. Switched to Suboxen for 2 weeks but hated it (went into precipitated withdrawal), got back on methadone at 40 mgs (from my husband), quit 11 days ago because I want to get back on a clinic, and started doing dope. Does anyone know when I will test negative on urine screen, I hate doing dope again, and want to get off the crazy train!!!! Please help.

Need a doctor in Atlanta GA for Methadone for Pain. Its the only thing that has helped relieve back pain and without it, theres no point. Ive been on a low dose. Because of people overdosing and dying, we are now treated as criminals - and due to liability issues, doctor after doctor no longer prescribes. No doctor will help me so Im now panicking because I dont want to be in debilitating pain. Plus in our healthcare system, doctors get paid by insurance for procedures and so theyw ant to to that cuz they make more than a drug script ## Hi MAT, Here is a list of doctors who can prescribe methadone, suboxone, and subutex in the Atlanta, GA area. methadonedocs.com/methadone-suboxone-doctors/Georgia-Ga/Atlanta.aspx Also, have you ever considered trying acupuncture or essential oils?

I live in columbus I am 37 years old and I am looking for a doctor that gives methadone with out a problem I am sick of being treated like a criminal just because I am in pain. Can anone give me some advice. ## Hello, Blue! How are you doing? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. However, there is no such thing as a Methadone doctor, technically, any doctor with a license to practice medicine can prescribe it. The issue, however, is that the DEA set forth new directives last year, so most doctor's won't prescribe controlled substances. You'll most likely need to see a pain management specialist and, even then, there's no way of knowing if they will or will not prescribe anything. But, if you go in asking for a specific medication, they'll usually view that as b...
