What does 100mgs look like when you pour it in a bottle before water? ## Hi Amber, "Methadose" liquid oral concentrate with a national drug code of "0406-0527" comes in a red cherry flavor and is available in 1000mL bottles. Each serving reportedly contains 10 mg per mL, so if you have 100 mgs that would be 10mL worth of fluid. However there are photographs on google images displaying Methadose in a clear cup. Just type in "liquid methadone pictures". Below is also a list of the inactive ingredients, so you know it's not just Methadone by itself that's being poured into the bottle: Anhydrous Citric Acid FD & C Red No. 40 D & C Red No. 33 Methylparben Poloxamer 407 Propylene Glycol Propylparaben Water Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate Sucrose I hope this...

I found a white round pill that has a letter M over the number 324. What kind of pill is this and what is it used for? Thank you. ## This tablet is listed as containing 8mgs of Buprenorphine, a generic for Subutex, which is most commonly used to treat drug addiction. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## ,I ran out of my subute. he habesmeatpillwithM324 can you tell me what itis side effects, and is out dangerous.

Hi there, this is for the people who are on methadone / or Suboxone. I've been on methadone for an opiate addiction, for a year now. My clean date is feb 2, 2015. At first, methadone was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I finally felt normal, and thought I was ready to get my life back on track. Well.. What a lie that was. I was at 75 mlgs of methadone from February 2015-August 2015, then started tapering off at 5 mlgs a week. I have a rapid metabolizer, so methadone never lasted longer than 10 hours in my system. Now I'm at 30 mlgs and I'm living in hell! I'm in constant withdrawal, body aches, sweating, hot /cold, emotional, aggressive... Etc. All I want is to feel normal again, but don't want to be tied on a leash to the methadone anymore! People say t...

I have a long story, I'll try to give some context with the important parts. History before methadone not important I guess. Been on 120mg for first 5 years and the last 5 years with 90mg (always liquid). Had some kind of nervous meltdown a couple of months ago and almost committed suicide. Started cutting myself badly. That urge almost got away now but I just want to feel something again. So a week(ish) ago I started drastically reducing dose, and stopped taking it 4 days ago. I had 2 hours sleep total since then thanks to some sleep medicine. My skin feels like it's burning, but it's a cold burning, all the time. I have this awful feeling in my belly that never goes away. When I lay down to try and sleep my legs hurt so much I only wish all the kicking, voluntary and invol...

Hi, I live in Salem, Oregon. Ive been on methadone for about 9 years now. recently my medication got seriously wet. Ill be 4 days short now on my meds because my new doctor is new and won't do an early refill. Ive withdrawn once in the past. Im really scared. Is there a way to lesson the withdrawals. Id like to not have to go through it at all ## Hello, Ellen! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. In the future, please store your medications in a location where they can't get wet. Most doctors, even if you aren't new to seeing them, will not provide an early refill. Their prescribing practices are very closely monitored by the government. Did you ask them about possibly cutting the tablets to lower your dosage for a few days? That might he...

I am 40yrs. old and broke my back and am confined to a wheelchair. I'm in a lot of pain. I've tried a lot of different meds and methadone has worked the best. I live in erie, pa and can't find a doctor to help me. If anyone knows of any please help. I will drive as long as it's not too far away. Thank you. My name is Bill. ## Bill - Have you tried looking for a pain management doc/clinic? Have you talked with your primary doc about getting a referral? I'd start there. Other resources I'd check are with the social work departments of area hospitals. Many of them have referral services or in-house pain management clinics, which may be your best bet. If all else fails, there's always methadone clinics, though most of their clients are going to be there for addic...

Can these two be taken together? On 8 MD 3 times daily just had all teeth extracted in servers pain and need antibiotics and was prescribed the methyl preen is opine. Is this safe? ## Hello, Birds! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. However, you should be aware that Methylprednisolone is not an antibiotic. As listed by the FDA, it is actually a steroid class medication that is used to treat conditions which may include allergic reactions, swelling and immune disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia and acne. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I took part of a subutex yesterday afternnom.

I've been searching these forums for the past few months, just soaking up as much information as I possibly could. This is my FIRST time actually posting, only in hopes to let others know my story of coming off suboxone so far. I see soooo many horror stories and not very many good stories. I know it scares a lot of people into staying on the drug for even longer because of fear of the painful drawn out withdrawal. The horror stories surely kept me on subs alot longer than I wanted to be on them. I am not discrediting anybody that has had an awfully hard time coming off this drug, it's definitely not easy both mentally and physically. But in my experience it hasn't been as bad as I imagined or have read about. I'll begin with a little background on my drug history. I sta...

I am currently taking subutex cause I am allergic to something in suboxone. My doctor just asked me if I wanted to try something called subsal. Its new and I guess its a mint flavor tablet.... What is it ## Hi leah, Sorry to hear about your allergy to Suboxone. However, I haven't been able to find any specific details on any medications by the name of Subsal. Did your doctor mention anything else about what it's supposed to be used for? If the Subutex is working well as an alternative option, then in my honest opinion it may be best to stick with what you already know, since different brands can still effect each person differently. So switching medications is somewhat of a gamble in that regard. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Subutex Details I hope this help...

I TOOK 15MG OF DIAZEPAM. I AM ON A METHADONE SCRIPT (100) AND I'M NOT MEANT TO TAKE THEM. I HAVE THE CLINIC IN TWO WEEKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO NO IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN TAKE TO GET THEM OUT OF MY SYSTEM AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND I WOULD BE DEVASTATED IF THEY TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME.

I was a pioneer to suboxone when no one knew really what is was. I had several surgeries and a TBI and suffer from epilepsy. Every year I must get a new prior authorization in Jan. I am on a 28 day supply. Well i told my doctor prior authorization is coming up I even called twice and spoke to him. ## @Williiam, I'm not sure exactly what your insurance company's policies are regarding this "prior authorization", but it sounds to me like you may be better off under a different plan/company if they're not wanting to work with you in getting your prescription. It's cruel that we have to rely on such people to get our meds who have no interest what-so-ever toward our well-being. In the end it's all about the money to them. Being that it's May now, were you jus...

How long after taking 8mg suboxone can u take methadone ## Hello, Michael! How are you? It usually takes about 3 days, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, 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? ## BE CAREFUL! Precipitated withdrawl will happen if you take it too soon. I don't know your dose of methadone you have tapered off the Half-Life of that poison is @least 72 hrs or more. Depends on alot. How much how long how you metabolized the stuff. I speak from experience. Personally I would give it a wk.Good luck! ## A doctor at a methadone clinic once told me I can go right from Suboxone to methad...

what else would cause methadone toshow up in a urine test ## The only thing that would show up as Methadone is Methadone if they are testing for the specific drugs. Most standard urine tests do not, they just test for drug classes and concentrations, such as opiates, Benzodiazepines and Amphetamines. Are you currently taking some sort of opiate? There have been many posts recently about false positives on urine tests, so it makes me wonder if there is possibly a bad batch out there. ## they have to be testing for methadone specifically....otherwise it doesnt show up!! Only clinics and doctors with reasons test for methadone...probation or work drug tests will NOT test for methadone..it is a synthetic narcotic ## So if I seen pain Dr and am prescribed Norco 10 Mg but took a methadone and...

My daughter runs out of her script for suboxen tommorow. She has private insurance. I need a referral of a clinic that can get her in within 48 hours for at least a consultation on her options. ## Hello, James! Sorry for the dilemma that your daughter is in. However, Suboxone treatment can only be provided by a doctor that's been specially trained in its use, there are no general clinics per se that can treat with it. And the doctors that have the waiver to treat with it can only accept a very limited number of patients. You can check for other doctors in your area via the website, suboxone.com, but I don't think there's a very high chance of one getting her in within 2 days. Learn more Suboxone details here. What happened with the doctor that was currently treating her? ## ...
