MY HUSBAND HAS BLADDER CANCER AND WAS PRESCRIBED 20 MG OF METHADONE EVERY MORNING. HE WAS ALSO GIVEN MORPHIN SULFATE 60 MGS TWICE A DAY. HOW SHOULD THESE MEDICINES BE TAKEN?

If you are trying to cold turkey 130 meth. You won't sleep well for 30 days!

Only when methadone dose is 40mg or more does it cancel out other opiates

I was on methadone for 4 years and as of 3 weeks ago i am finally off. I started with 40mgs and by the time i said i dont want to die from this i got down to 2.5 with no withdrawals but couldnt sleep but maybe 1 hour every 2 days. I took about 4 days worth of restoril and got sleep but also when i quit I had restless legs and stomach. I post here all the time and you can see what progress i had to go thru. Methadone saved my life from a prescribed 30 mgs oxy to lortabs all prescribed but there was a time i was taking 12 oxy 30s a day so whoever prescribes anyone methadone 20 mgs is way more than enough in my opinion because your right it builds up times 3. I tried to quit on 30 mgs, almost had a heart attack at work and if u take oxys too you get constipation and it can kill you to quit cold turkey.

I was in a situation recently where my Clinic wasnt open one Saturday because of weather and went too the hospital and they prescribed 60mg er every 12 hours along with clonidine and it seemed to work fine. Didn't feel perfect but wasn't sick or unable to function.

I don't know when you posted. But do NOT just quit methadone cold turkey. What methadone does in your system is attach to the receptors and if you take it daily, it keeps stacking. Methadone is known as a "stacker" drug. Meaning the more you take the more it stacks on top of your receptors. If you quit cold turkey, sure you will be okay for a couple of days. The worst days are 5-8. But when trust me when I say, just do it the right way. Ween yourself off of it with the help of your doctor.

Finally after 4 years i quit methadone got to 2.5mg a day to 2.5mg 3 days and now done only thing is a little bit of restless stomach and leg syndrome but very little...you can read my post thruout the years on here.good luck and godbless everyone.but if anyone takes opiates oxys norcos etc very little methadone will keep you on check from abusing other opiates ask your doctor because without it i was always sick next day either taking as perscribed or having to take more.

Moesgirl18years,

Congrats, anyone that can withdraw from something as potent as methadone in an outpatient setting truly deserves the admiration of all who have struggled with this gorilla. I'm glad you prefaced your post as in your personal opinion that Neurontin was effective for your withdrawal. You are one of the fortunate ones. As a long term MMT Client working in this field my experience is that few receive measurable relief from Neurontin alone. When used in conjunction with other class drugs it shows more promise. Individuals vary as to what and how much will aide in this transition.

TO ALL CONTEMPLATING A WITHDRAWAL FROM METHADONE I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE SINCE THIS PROCESS CAN CREATE LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATIONS. Especially for those with underlying medical conditions. Recovery is possible but this challenge requires years of intense aftercare to establish an environment conducive to an opiate free life. Thank you all and God bless.

In my personal experience, a medication called Neurotin was amazing for me. If you are going through withdrawal, you need to find a doc to prescribe it and then withdrawals won't be bad at all

Hi, im on 45mg of methadone and if i take 60mg of m-eslon (morphine) i get a migraine, but if i have around 30mg it's ok, no migraine. From what i understand, under 150mg of methadone helps the morphine bind to the receptors, but over that and the methadone clogs the receptors. I could be wrong though.

Methadone is a bigger compound, therefore in high doses it will make other full agonists like morphine harder to cling to other receptors because they are occupied. Anyhow, it's probably best taking morphine at night if on high doses of methadone; allowing methadone atoms to metabolize.

I am on methadone, just 60ml daily. Anyway I so thank you for your, well lesson. It's interesting. I love that you have said where methadone has come from. I knew Hitler, well I'd heard, he'd had it made but didn't know that China had cut Germany off, so cheers for the lesson, nice one.

Im getting off methadone for once its the best thing to take with any other opiate cuz it keep you from abusing and taking too much of anything and i havent been high off of oxys for years and it works great for pain with oxys.i use to take xanax with this only 20 mgs of methadone and i use to sleep and feel great but when i quit the xanax boy that was a worse feeling than withdrawls and it took 2 months to get normal even tho i had methadone and oxys so stay away from that combo if possible.and i dont care what anyone say you do not need more than 40 mgs of methadone it just makes it harder to get off them..i tkae 15 to 5 mgs a day and its the same

Back in the 70s i was on 40 mgs of methadone and I went through close to 100 dilaudid one weekend without feeling a single one. The only drug I can feel over my methadone is fentanyl and It has to be a fairly high dose (160 mcgs) because now im on 150 mgs of methadone.

I'm on Methadone and other meds for 25 back surgeries. You have to be VERY CAREFUL WITH METHADONE. It builds up in your blood stream and yes it can stop your heart. It takes quite some time to recover from back surgery. I hope you feel better soon. Just let me know if I can help.

Not at the same time. What does the bottle say? They both can make him very tired. I would take the Methadone in the am and the Morphine in the afternoon. If you have any questions please call the Pharmacist and the Dr.
