Updated

I think i have a drug test coming up at the clinic and i have methadone pills instead of the liquid that i usually take. Will taking the pill form give me a dirty urine at the clinic?

Hey the reason you are sweating is becauseyour are withdrawing..your body is use to ythat dose and now you prob feel like you want to go up another 5-10mls.DONT just have it ealier than you usally do. Just my opinion one person.everyones different iv been on methadone its a killer to get off and iv been on suboxone. So I know how you feel.

You are fine. I've been at a methadone clinic for over 2 years dosing with the liquid they have. Occasionally we have access to pills and buy some, or while i was in the hospital they would give me pills. It comes up in your urine as the same exact thing so dont worry about it.

I was on a methadone clinic for 6 years I became pregnant it wasn't my plan but went up to $150 grams and slowly only out of my request came down to 30 milligrams in that time. And just for anyone who is interested in knowing the government runs the methadone programs they don't do anything to help you detox in terms of bringing you off the product they will let you stay on it forever because that's how they're making their money! Anyway I was tossed off the clinic and have had to seek opiates elsewhere I have now got what I think is enough liquid methadone to get me through the first couple days of my final detox but the second half is in 10 milligram pill form I need to know if it is ok to use both and in English what is the difference between the Pill-form and the liquid thanks

Can I ask you how you ever got off of methadone? I have been discouraged as there are little success stories from others on this drug. I am 22 and I have been on methadone the liquid form for almost 4 years now and I desperately want to stop taking it but I am afraid of the withdrawals I currently take 70 milligrams a day. Do you have any advice for me on how to get off of it and the best way to do ? Any advice in this matter would be utmost appreciated . Thank you -Sabrina

Wow ??not to b rude but that is just a silly question. If u don't know the answer maybe u shouldn't b on the medication .The answer is noooo when u pee at the clinic its just show positive under the lab results for method one.

Hi I have been on methadone pills. I would like to know if 30mg in pills a day is the same as 30 mg of liquid methadone a day?

Amen to that!!! I got back on Methadone to get off the Suboxone and back on Heroin to get off the Methadone. Those first two are really nasty to get off of. My theory: ?Sub and Methadone are both synthetic.

Rake it 30 minutes before dose is due. It takes that long to digest and break it down. By law you can take it an hour before does is due. There are different types of methadone I just read though.

I am prescribed 10 mg methadone pills. I've been out of it for 2 wks so I took some liquid methadone the day before a urine lab test. Will my pain management Dr be able to tell I took the liquid by the binders in the liquid and not the 10 mg pills that I'm prescribed? Help .pam

Hi, I'm on liquid methadone for 3 years now and I'm finally down to 35mg, was on 140 at first. I hate that I even started this drug cuz even 1 day without have me bad withdraws. So if you can keep from getting back on it, I would stay off of it. Can u ask you how you got off it a year? I'm going down 5mg every 2 weeks but even that is hard for me. I can't sleep, I hurt all over and vomiting. I really need some help to get off this horrible stuff.

Cris, when switching from methadone to Suboxone/Subutex, they want you to taper to 20mg, ideally, and then when you're ready to switch, you are supposed to go three days with no methadone before the first dose of Suboxone. My friend and her husband did it... she had absolutely no problems making the switch, but she followed all of the recommendations. Her husband couldn't wait the three days before taking the Suboxone and ended up in withdrawal... that led to a brief heroin relapse, but he eventually stopped that and went to Suboxone. They were both very successful on both methadone & Suboxone for years... both things worked well for them.

I have been on methadone since I was a teenager, January 2017 will be 14 years. It probably saved my life. From my second day on methadone, I stopped taking heroin and haven't touched it since. Unfortunately, I had a serious accident a few months into being clean... I ended up with a spine injury and severe chronic pain. I had a pain management doctor who gave me OxyContin and fentanyl patches, but the methadone clinic wasn't big on that, so they said they'd manage my pain and pushed my methadone dose up to almost 300mg (peak and through showed I needed a split dose, which would have been best for pain, but my clinic didn't do split dosing). So that was ok for a number of years, and I stayed on methadone even though I was clean because I needed it for pain. About two years ago the clinic told me they can't treat pain patients and, since I had been clean for so long, I was no longer an addiction patient, so I had to leave there and go to pain management. After a nightmare search, I found a place that said they might be willing to treat me with methadone, but that my dose was way too high, not "a pain dose." So I have been lowering my dose, but they haven't given me a specific number, the dose at which I could leave the clinic and be treated by them. So I am wondering if anyone else has ever successfully transferred from a methadone clinic to pain management? And also, how low do I need to go? What would be "a pain dose"? I am almost down to 200mgs, and I am waking up with withdrawal symptoms every day (my methadone never lasted me 24 hours, never... not until I got to my top dose at almost 300mgs)... so I need to move to pain management and twice daily dosing soon. I was hoping 180mgs would be good, two daily doses of 90mgs. Anyone think that is low enough for pain management? I truly hope so because the clinic wants me gone.
