Does anyone know a pain Dr.that prescribes methadone in kansas City, Kansas. I a m fighting to save my arms and legs and cannot function without my medicine. I have 9 weeks to find a Dr.before I need more medicine please help. ## Hello, Petrified! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you'e having. However, if you're hunting for a new doctor by asking if they'll prescribe it, the problem is likely just going to continue. Doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior. What you really need to do is set up an appointment with a new pain management specialists, make sure they get a full copy of your most recent medical records, then ...

pain from surgery sucks. I wouldnt take more than ur dose for each day its not worth withdrawing when u run out a few days before u go back to clinic plus if u get a bottle recall they will take ur bottles! They wont want to hear about ur pain or excuses in their mind! U should talk to ur counsler and up ur dose. Methadone is super addictive and very easy to take more than ur daily dose. Hope things work out good luck ## I got called in for a bottle count on a Saturday and I was told that never happens. Am I in trouble or what?

This pill was in the bottle of subutex I filled this month not sure if they ran out of the other brand I almost didn't notice but it is a big round white pill that is scored like a cross on one side so it can be quartered and says M18 on other side. Only thing I've been able to find was Metoprolol but it didn't have the cross score and I've been on Metoprolol 25mgs for years and never seen one like this ## Large white pill with an x score line on one side and M18 on the other is Subutex~!

I took 30mg on Tuesday and 30mg yesterday (Wednesday) Today I missed my 30mg dose and I was wondering is it safe if I take a 10mg Perocet today and will I feel anything? Let me know asap! ## Chances are you'll have no effect due to the methadone blocking the receptors in which those meds set off that euphoric feeling..(you may have a slight euphoric feeling due to a low dosage, but I wouldn't count on it if that's what your going for ) you'd basically be wasting your money and time and medication.. it will tho possibly help for pain.. ## Is it safe to take percocet 10 3 times a day on top 15 mg morphine sulfate pills 4 times a day?

I took 4 mg (half of 8) Suboxone last night before going to bed and I swallowed it while I was sleeping by mistake. I typically don't swallow it and I don't take more than what I'm supposed to take. I woke up after a few hours extremely nauseous feeling like I'm going to throw up. I know it's because I swallowed it. I did eat a decent amount before going to bed. How can I get this nauseous feeling to go away? Am I going to have to make myself throw up? ## No it should pass quite quickly. I sometimes take mine in the morning and do the same thing, I can tell because when I burp I can taste them again. But no harm will come to you. Subs 1/2 life probably means that you will still have enough in your system, if you get physical withdrawals take a small amount however I ...

I am prescribed the 2mg Actavis bupe/nalox tabs. the ones with a moon on one side and 154 on the other. i like these they kick in sooner feel a bit stronger than a 2mg suboxone tablet. also i prefer the taste. What are other peoples expeience with the two generics. im especially curious about the new orange amneal tabs as ive heard mixed reviews. id like opinions on both ## @Jeremy, Although I don't have any personal experience with this drug, I thought it might be helpful to redirect you to a more active discussion thread on Suboxone, while you're waiting in the meantime... Discuss/White-Round-Pill-D-On-One-Side-And-155-Other-244131_p2.htm Seems like at least some of the users in that thread have had personal experience taking the new generics.

"I've been using 8mg of Subutex for about a year now and it no longer gives me any type of relief. Would increasing my dose help or is there another medicine I could take that would help my anxiety and cravings without using a benzodoazapine? Please help! ..." ## Hello Bpaul! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. You may require a dosage adjustment, the maintenance dosage to keep a patient from experiencing withdrawal symptoms can go as high as 24mgs, according to the information provided by the FDA. 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. Have you consulted your doctor about the issue? ## I was on suboxone for withd...

This pill is a small white pill with west ward and the numbers 473 it is commonly referred to as methadone. This pill is methadone 10 mgs. ## Hi christopher, Based on my research, this pill is actually NOT methadone at all. A white round pill imprinted with "West-ward 473" on one side and a score line on the back, is identified as Prednisone (10mg). For verification, this pill is manufactured by West-ward pharmaceuticals and the National Drug Code (NDC) is: 00143-1473 Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It works to treat a wide variety of other conditions as well by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way ...

If you take methadone 30mg two times in two days (30mg per day) and have not taken anymore at all for 7 days will you pass a drug test at a pain management clinic on the 8th day? Also I have not taken methadone 14 days prior to the days the 30 mg was taken. ## Your chance are slim it won't show up opiates take 3 to seven days to leave the body it's how much you took before drug test and when you quit before test that counts cross your fingers you could be ok

I have been taking methadone for 6 year every day as prescribed. Just got off two 3 weeks ago. Is it possible for methadone to stay in ur system for longer because I was on it so long? My po is saying I showed up hot for methadone after only 2 weeks of being off. ## I've been told methodone is stored in body fat and in your bones and internal organs like any drug that Accumalates in your body like this after years of use it's possible even if your clean the body when active can release the methadone stored from years of use that's how we have relapses we taste our drug of choice in our saliva because it's released from your body after being stored in body fat you are now burning

My husband has been on methadone for 8 months at 10-15 mg per day. He recently has gotten put on probation and has to come off of it. How long will it take him to show up clean on a drug test? ## Does anyone know how long the withdrawal symptoms and going to last or how to ease them? ## Tell him to keep going, his probation can't make him get off if he has a prescription. He can tell them to lick his nuts. It fills under the disability act ## He kept taking it, failed his drug test and they VIOLATED him! Now he is on his way to jail and his lawyer won't help. The lawyer said he's done with the case. This place doesn't care about law or human rights. It's all about money and how much of it that they can stick you for. My family is doomed without my husband. I hate thi...

Hello, please help me to find out how I can continue to stay in a methadone program that has helped me stay drug free for the past 2yrs. I live in Lancaster Pa. And I was receiving help from the Department of Welfare that was helping me alongside Medicaid/Medicare pay for me to get an stay in the methadone program. I was told I was cut off because of being $68.00 over for me to stay drug free. My question is how do I get the help to pay for me to continue to stay in the program? Please help me. {edited for privacy}. ## You have to call Malina it's the ones that approve your prescription

Will suboxone show up on lab test for tasc in NC....I got a couple from a friend bc I'm quitting dope... ## No it wil not show up on a test at task as I am in the task program in n.c. And the instructor herself said it will not show on a drug screen it is not an opiate it is an opiate aggonist meaning it works on your receptors like an opiate but unless specifically tested for u are fine. ## I have a drug test at my work in 8 days, and it includes synthetic opiates.

People are asking these questions not to be told the answers off the label! I take subs, then have no problem taking any opiate!! I never had any problems! I don't know much about methadone but just swallowed one. I took about 3mg of sub this a.m with 600 mg of neurontin / gabapentin and about 4 hrs later I took the methadone and am planning on taking at least 80 mg of Roxy thru tonight. Yesterday I took 4mg of sub about 100mg of Roxy thru the night and felt amazing! Took sub this a.m NO PROBLEM. So all this u have to wait to take subs is something I don't personally believe. I take subs when I run out of Roxy or other opiates, to not get sick. ## Tell you what. Here's what you do. Stop taking your suboxone for 3 days, then administer your opiate of choose for a few days, an...

I'm used to taking 10 mg of methadone with an M on it. Now I've been given a round white pill with 54/142 ASC. I am sleepy, nauseous, and have no energy. I've never felt this way before, in fact the M's give me energy. Why is this happening? ## I imagine you're getting a generic version.. How do they get away with this? Do the pharmacies benefit by automatically changing this over possibly making more money with a generic?

I get the same pills but with different results. After they quit givi...
