Opioid Dependence Forums (Page 45)

it is a generic form of methadone 10mg gels. for treatment of addiction. ## Based on the description provided, I can confirm your oblong orange pill to be Levothyroxine sodium (25 mcg). This drug has no association with Methadone whatsoever...I'm not sure where you got that information from? Methadone is a synthetic opioid, used medically as an analgesic and a maintenance anti-addictive for use in patients with opioid dependency. Levothyroxine (the pill you have) is a hormone replacement usually given to patients with thyroid problems, specifically, hypothyroidism. For more information about Levothyroxine, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## Thank you so much, I know this is the right answ...

i tested positive for methadone when my doctor made me take a urine test last week and i have never ever taken methadone. i am on suboxone, could that give me a positive test for methadone? ## There are many diffrent things that can and will cause a false positive for methadone and this includes benadryl and some other antihistamines. Hope this helps ## Are you sure that someone didn't switch UA'_s on you?the reason I ask is because I go to s Suboxone clinic and we all do our UA in the bathroom and then take the finished specimen up to the front office where it goes into a bucket where all the other u a's are placed and they aren't under lock and key so they are easily available!As a matter of fact...I have had a problem lately where I have had 3 tests in a row come back...

Hi, I was informed just two days ago from my pharmacist that there is now a generic form of Suboxone film available and that's what Medicaid receiptents will receive opposed to the Brand-name Suboxone film. Ironically, my pharmacy was completely out of the generic therefore, I was able to have my insurance still approve the name brand although, I'm sure that'll change soon. Has anyone been given the generic film yet? If so, did you notice any difference or any negitive effects? ## I have never taken this medication, so I can't speak as to experiences with it. Can anyone else that has taken it, already, please chime in with what you think of it? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzines...

I just started on Suboxone a few days ago. We're still even trying to figure out my dose. I have a lot of health issues that cause pain and one being endometriosis. Because i just started suboxone, i haven't had my period on it yet and i don't know how that will go. In June i got a script for June and a script for July of percocets. I have a script for percocets at the pharmacy. Would it be illegal and could i get in trouble or considered double doctoring, to fill that script with the same drug card i use for suboxone? So i have a back up just incase this doesn't work out especially around that time of month when ur on the floor throwing up from just pure pain alone. (I do not use the same pharmacy for suboxone as i do for percocets because when u start on suboxone u go ...

I can take up to 8mg per day but I only take around 4mg per day for knee pain. I have had mouth pain off and on for the last year and I thought it was a yeast infection so I went to my GP and they did a diagnostic and it was not a yeast infection. It eventually went away, I think my doctor gave me an antibiotic but I also ate tons of yogurt. It happened again and I was taking a medication that caused my body to dry out. I have a big problem with dry eyes so my doctor then felt that I had a dry tongue. I started washing my mouth out with violene mouth wash and using xylimelts in my mouth at night and that made it go away. Now it is happening again so I wanted to know if it could be my suboxone since I am no longer taking the other medication. If it is the while top of my tongue is sore a...

I'm looking for some feedback on the generic brands they only had sun pharma, actavis and hikma in my area of southwest Florida. Last month I picked up the brand hikma 54 411 from a grocery store/ pharmacy and my insurance covers/pays for most of my co pay which is always $45 monthly for my 120 pills. At this store they charged me 3 x that amount. I never heard of that..so now I'm thinking I might have to try the other of the 2. ## Hi Charlene, Sorry to hear about the unethical price gouging you encountered. While I don't have personal experience with those other manufacturers, I did want to add that someone else's experience with them doesn't necessarily dictate how your body will react or respond to the same medication; whereas the only way to know for certain is t...

Hey you.... Unsure if you are able to help me but I am looking for a Dr in Palm Beach County who will prescribe both medications... They are 10mg Methadone and 30mg Oxycodone. Even better if they happen to take United Health Ins. Now that the DEA and pharmacies have started making up there own rules on who and where you go, I am no longer able to go north or south.... Due to the border laws.... ugh...

How long after I take zubzolv can I take methadone? I am supposed to go to the methadone clinic on Monday and today is Saturday. I am switching to methadone vs zubzolv and I completely forgot to stop taking the zubzolv 3-4 days before...will it throw me into precipitated withdrawals going from the zubzolv to the methadone within 24 hours? ## No, but it will prevent the Methadone from having an effect on you, so you need to alert them to the problem, then wait the stated 3 to 4 days, before starting Methadone. Otherwise, since it won't have an effect, it won't stave off withdrawals for several days, anyway. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Does ...

I have been on suboxone treatment program for 7 years and I have been on the Amneal AN 415 generic tablets ever since they removes the name brand. I live in Clarke county Alabama. I have recently been switched to the Actavis white 155 round pills and I hate them. I am not able to find the AN 415 Amneal tablets anywhere that I have found???? Anyone know a place that has them around me?? I'll even travel for them cause I work construction already and usually am traveling alot anyway??? Any info will be greatly appreciated ## I had the same problem when my pharmacy switched manufacturers. Because Actavis brand contains a filler ingredient which Amneal does not, I became so sick. I had to switch to the film/strips and they were much better. Maybe you can ask dr to write for films? Good ...

Hi. I am getting on suboxone and i haven't taken opiates in a few days. Should i take opiates so i am dirty when they drug test me or does it not matter? ## Usually, to start Suboxone for addiction treatment, the person has to be in full withdrawals, if you aren't, it can cause severe withdrawals, due to the Naloxone in it. They base the starting dosage on how much of it your drug of choice you were taking. Have you consulted the doctor about it? ## I have been getting suboxone from a friend for about 3 months. Well I'm starting to feel as though I'm not breaking that habit if you know what I mean. So I'm looking into going to a doctor and getting suboxone on my own. Do I have to be on drugs to get a prescription?

I have been on many different opioids for over five years after a very bad car accident. I have finally been on 60mg of methadone and was getting the mallinkrodt generic or westward pharmaceuticals but the accend generic puts me into withdrawal or I may be allergic to some filler they use but I am in tucson, az and need to find out what pharmacies to avoid or which stock anything but accend 10mg tabs now, but as the war on opioids have made for much tighter regulations I cant call and ask. They won’t say whether they do or not over the phone. Add to that even with a legit paper rx I had 2 major chains say they didn’t feel comfortable filling it because I’m “not an established patient and are not comfortable filling if I haven’t filled there before”.

I was given a pill and told it was suboxone, it has a big AN on the top and 415 under the letters. There is nothing on the back. Its orange and completely round ## That is correct, this tablet contains 8mgs of Buprenorphine and 2mgs of Naloxone, it is a generic for Suboxone, which is most commonly used to help treat drug addiction. Learn more Suboxone details here. Since it contains an opiate narcotic, it does have the potential to be habit forming itself and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is it also taken sublingual? ## Yes, that is the new generic form of suboxone. I just recently got them too. I had a bad experience with them though. They did not work for me like the brand name suboxone. Not...

I am not on suboxone, and have not taken or done any, but my drug test keeps coming up positive for it. Is there anything such, other medications, stuff in food or drink, etc. that could be causing this false reading? Please help. ## It is possible with some other medications, for instance if you have taken anything that contains other synthetic opiates, such as Oxycodone or Hydrocodone. However, no, it should not just show up from foods or beverages. Can you post back with a list of the other medications you take, even over the counter items, so I can check for you? ## I have only taken suboxov in treatment 10 months ago, but my urine came back positive for suboxone. I am taking dilantin, motrin, celexa, melatonin, and remeron. What may have caused this? ## Can someone who is taking al...

I have been a chronic marijuana smoker for years. Recently have had to quit for my job. It took over two months to finally pass clean for THC except that i consistently show positive for Buprenorphine. I do not take any other drugs legal or not, except i do chew tobacco regularly - Is there any possible connection? ## No, it doesn't make sense that the tobacco would cause it. Do you take anything that's available over the counter, at all? ## Claritin d not since last year and aspirin other than that nothing ## I recently (supposedly) tested positive for buprenorphine in spite of the fact that I've never knowingly taken it.
