I have read about Methadone being used as an anti depressant, does anyone know anything about this? When I was on low doses I was at my best ever in life. Not high, but just normal for the first time ever. Even though I am not using (4 years) I sometimes wish I could just be on 10 mg a day. ## methadone being a pain med is a depressant however euphoria is a side effect. works for me. there are only 2 ways to get methadone....to treat severe pain or to treat addiction. if you are thinking about a meth program you will have to present yourself as an addict and drop dirty urines. it's not so hard now a days as you don't have to have track marks you can join by just being addicted to pills. ## I have been on methadone for almost 2months, I was seriously addicted to pain pills for ov...

Looking for a subutex doctor have been put on subutex for three years today the clinic I have been going to all sudden says they have to switch to suboxn because of a new law but u looked it up and the law was passed in 2015, as a lot of u guys have posted the link to, so why prescribe it for two years after the law and all sudden change I'm.allergic to naloxone badly very badly , if anyone knows around virginia please let me know thanks ## If your allergy to Naloxone is documented, they should be able to prescribe Subutex for you, without a problem. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications? ## Hi, can you say you know this ...

I recently moved back to Galveston from Louisiana and need a pain clinic. I took methadone 10 X 3 for 20 years and now taking oxycodone. I want to go back to work but need to control pain from cervical fusion, nerve damage, and blown out discs. Nerve blocks don't work. I have insurance but will pay cash if necessary. Have been driving back to Louisiana every couple of months but that won't work if I do.

Id like to know how long 8mg suboxone fillm can be detected in a urine screen. I have been taking pain meds (oxycontin, vicodin and soma) for well over six years due to multiple hip revisions, back to back staph infections and recently I broke my low back at L3, L4, L5 resulting in a lumbar spine fusion from L2 thru S1. The pain from the back surgery is so great I will double up or even triple the opioid pain meds causing me to run short before the due refills. On a Tues, Wed and Thurs I did one 8mg Suboxone per day and now have an appt with a pain mgt Dr the next Thursday the following week. My question is will the Suboxone show on a urine screen 7days after my last strip of Suboxone with the pain mgt Dr ? ## I honestly think it will! ## Did it show up? I have same situation and go get...

there is a generic Suboxone out now. they begin shipping them to pharmacies the last week of February. also, if you have any type of insurance you will automatically get the generic suboxin. The doctor has no say in whether you get the name brand or generic really. even if he writes a prescription for suboxone, the pharmacist will automatically give you the generics if you have insurance. if you don't have any insurance, you can ask the pharmacist to give you generics because they are cheaper. Plus, R and B has stopped making the name brand suboxin pills. they are only making be films now. So whenever your pharmacy runs out of the original suboxin, there will not be any more. ## @sean21, Do you happen to know by any chance who the manufacturer is or what the new generic Suboxone is ...

I have been taking 10mg Methadone tabs every morning for about 20 days. My question is... I wanted off of them before my body became dependent, so yesterday morning I took 10mg, and about 4 hours later took a 15mg extended release morphine. Felt pretty normal. This morning, no Methadone but took the morphine. I want to know if I'm going to experience any kind of withdrawal symptoms? If so, I know that it has a very long half life, when will symptoms start? I have 6 Methadone tablets left. I know I'm not on a high dose for a long time like some others. I feel for them. I have been taking opiates half my life! Please, any answer will help, as well as any advice. I have 3 weeks of Morphine left. (15mg tabs at one a day.) I thank you so much. God Bless. ## Yes, you may still experie...

My husband was on Linzess and it caused his blood pressure to go up and had a heart attack. Now the doctor has put him Monvantik and his blood has been going back up. It doesn't say that it causes high blood pressure online, but we are starting to wonder if this is the cause of his problem. Has anyone else had a problem with Monvantik? ## That is not a listed side effect, according to FDA reports, but there is never any way to know how any medication may affect any given person that takes it. Other users have reported similar occurrences, though. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and withdrawals (if someone is using opiates.) Is he on any other medications? What does his normal diet consist of? Does he eat a lot of salty...

I'm getting drug tested regularly as its part of condition to get my 5 month old baby girl home. Everything was going great until I started failing drug tests for opiates when nearing the end of the assessment but problem was I've taken no drugs only the methadone I'm prescribed but after a process of elimination I worked out it was the bread I was eating, it had poppy seeds in it. I stopped eating the bread around 5 weeks ago on a Friday then from the Monday I've passed rigorous testing which tells me it was the bread which caused my previous failed tests but they tell me now it's impossible for poppy seeds to cause a fail. So to prove my case I'm gonna give a clean sample then eat around 6 slices then do another test to prove the bread was causing me to fail th...

Does anyone know if you can take suboxone in combo with the anti depressant Viibryd? ## You should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain, but I am not finding any interactions listed between the two medications. Have they been prescribed by the same doctor? ## Yes you may take the suboxone and viibryd together. I work for a doctor that has prescribed both for a patient. However you need to make sure you report any side effects to your physician. Some people do quite well and others have had a negative experience in the medications so make sure you follow up as ordered by your doc. ## You can take them together. However, you should pay careful attention for any of these symptoms. Here, from the Mayo Clinic "Symptoms Serotonin syndrome symptoms usually occur within sever...

Hi. I'm trying to help my 24 year old son off Zubs. He finally told us he had been taking painkillers for a year and then went to Zubs for a month before coming home to get off them too. He knows he needs help and to be away from where he was living so he could be safe and away from everything. We want to help him in any way we can. Are there any supplements known to help? Right now I have him on fish oil, turmeric, vitamin D3, and magnesium. I feed him as best I can and we're trying to get him on a decent sleep schedule, but it seems like he sleeps best from early morning to late afternoon. Do we try to correct that with sleep aids like Tylenol pm or melatonin? Or just let him sleep as much as he is able? Please give any advice if possible. We want to help him succeed. ## There...

He has been detoxing for a month and a half. He tapered for about a month and decided to quit all together. It's been rough to say the least. He is a type 1 diabetic. He has severe leg pain (neuropathy) the last two days have been harder than the last month. He is asking me to get him a zubsolv. I am afraid this will start the whole thing all over again. Detoxed this far and I don't want to start over. He is in pain and cannot sleep. He is begging for a day off. Can any one advise? ## Hello, Avibe! How is your husband doing? He should really get medical help with stopping it, that would be the best thing to do. What other medications is he on?

It would b nice to find a free doctor but I know that can't happen here. I have a hard time getting them with no money plus nobody wants to give you klonopin or xanax anymore and that's the only way I can be myself anymore can't do it without them. I got Medicaid and I know it don't pay for visit and really don't know if it will pay for subutex anymore since I'm not pregnant know. ## Hello, Leary! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems that you're having. The best suggestion I can make is to contact your nearest large hospitals and see if they have a social work or patient assistance/advocate group. They usually have lists of doctors that accept Medicaid, or low-income patients on a sliding fee scale, so they may be able to help you. Alternatively, do ...

Can anyone tell me how long withdrawls last and how fast I should detox? I need to get off this stuff but I'm actually scared of how i will feel. Can anyone help? Advise me on the best way to do this...no matter how long it takes. I'm not worried about detoxing quickly, just want to detox! ## Have you considered seeking medical assistance with it? The reason I ask is because Methadone is known to cause severe withdrawals and have a very long detoxification period. That's why so many people end up on a lifetime maintenance dose of it and few end up ever stopping it entirely. Learn more Methadone details here. How much do you take daily? ## I am down to 55 mgs daily. I have considered this but not sure as to how to go about finding a doctor who would help me with this. The lif...
