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?

The methadone helps with withdrawls very good.the first day u get withdrawls u have to take toget to where u feel ok.then the next day drop down cuz it takes different times to get into ur symptons.i heard of a pill called krampton look it up on youtube i heard its good for withdrawls.i was on 30mgs ixy 10 a day and when i was so sick i took 2 10mgs of methadone and i felt great.just remember it build up in ur system so best advice take it down every 3 days or u will build it up and go thru withdrawls for a month if u are cut off. just advice goodluck

No thats not true! There is no opiate blocker in methadone. Thats only suboxen. Methadone is synthetic. My mother has Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to the brain. She has weeks to live. She is on 15mg of methadone 3 times a day and 20mg of morphine up to 12 times a day. Both are liquid.

Well i heard and this is from ny and everyone whos uses it if u take at least 80 mgs it fills in all the receptors and idk if it block out the morphine completly but the say that like H opiates bounce off the receptors. my doc gives me 40mgs of methadone and 60 15mgs of oxys for breakthru pain so it will work but u dont feel the good feelings off oxys but i take 1/4 of everything cuz i dont want to be the way i was before saved me for 2 years methadone an im sorry about ur mom. my friend just lost his dad who was a retired firefighter

Wrong. .im on methadone. Suboxen is narcan it causes withdrawel if taken with opiates. Methadone blocks opiate receptors in your brain. Naltrexone same as suboxen in the sense it has narcan. And blocks receptors.so that theory is wrong.

Ive been on methadone for 2 years. suppose to take 4 10mgs pills a day but i only take two. its in ur body and bones etc, so if u want to get off it u can try to take something else and see if it works. i took oxys 10s for 5 days just to start getting it out my body and then started taking a half in morning and night. i havent had withdrawals in two years and longest ive gone without taking a methadone pill was 3 days, then i felt hot cold sweats, but nothing compared to coming off oxys or morphine etc. So take it slow. start breaking pieces off like a quarter piece each week for a month. believe me if i can do it so can you. godbless you

What dose MST finally worked for you? I'm on 60 mls methadone and want to switch, MST has been chosen as the replacement, but I'm terrified of withdrawals, and I'm not instilled with confidence by the doctor's seeming lack of knowledge on this subject.

Only take the methadone through a methadone clinic and it will help you ditch other opiates or opiods.I've been clean from pain pills for a year and a half from going to the clinic and stopping the other pain meds.it works,although a lot of people have side effects that usually go away.

Best thing I did was get off the methadone here in CT it's more of a hostage program rather than helpful I have severe RA and I was on 80 mg of methadone and I've dropped down to 22 now I'm dropping 5mgs every 3 days I am not having as hard a time with withdrawal like people told me I'd have listen to ur body and ur PCP good luck

I just wanted to share my experience with you. I started on methadone almost 2 yrs ago and Tues Aug 4th was my last day. I was terrified to detox off the clinic but I knew that it was time. I detoxed slowly at first 2mg a week I was on 80mgs when I started that when I got to 50 I did 1mg a day until I got to 37mg then we did 5mg every 3 days and when I got to 7mg I took the 7 for the 3 days and I could have went for the remaining 2mg but choose not to. I'm 3 days off the methadone and honest to God I don't feel bad at all. The worst part of the detox was I couldn't sleep, I went 2 weeks and slept maybe an hour a day. My sleep pattern is back and I feel great. Before my decision to quit people told me horror stories about how sick I'd be, but those people were just jealous that they didn't have the courage to quit and would do anything to bring you down with them. Just remember one thing the mind is a very powerful tool, if u tell yourself that you will be sick guess what u will be. Keep filling ur head with positive thoughts and u will be fine. I'm proof of that. Keep active and drink plenty of water. You will do just fine. Any questions just ask. I have faith in you, you can do it.

I get both oxys and methadones and for 2 weeks i took the oxys 15s so i can get the methadone out of my body and now i take only 10 mgs a day. The oxys suck but dones aint bad. Right now i pray i could quit and it aint bad cuz i have to work to support family. I'm going to pain clinic and maybe i will get something way less.

Just an update for those of you who want to get off methadone but are worried about the withdrawal symptoms. I am one week off methadone today and I'm doing OK it's uncomfortable at times but no where near what I thought it would be. If you tell yourself that you will be sick guess what u will be. If I can do it anyone can. Good luck and let me know if I can help.
