How Long Does Methadone Stay In Your System? (Page 10)

Is Methadone completely out of your system in 72 hours, or does it take longer? Since Methadone seems to last longer that 4 - 6 hours, I was just wondering?

I take daily 80mgs, Oxycodone and Morphine ( Oxymorphone ) because of severe abdominal pain thats relative to Hepatitis C. Occasionally I may run out, especially, those horrible last two to four days in the month, I rather take Methadone, 60mgs, during that time than anything else. I guess due to the by products make up, and the length of time that I have taken the Oxymorphone. ( 4yrs ) The pain that comes from withdrawal keeps me regulated. One other thing, There is always benefit following rules designed to help you!

i was just wondering why i didnt experience any physical withdrawals coming off of 130mg methadone daily for 4years? All I had was terrible mentally withdrawals that last for 6months!!! I thought people was controlling me and reading my mind,and right to this day i still experience that but nothing like i did coming off 130mg methadone cold turkey back in "2009" while i was in jail! but i did experience where like my joints or bones felt like they wanted to stretch and couldnt.I am currently back on methadone.I was on 210mg and now on 165mg. i been on it for 3yrs and everyday i wish to try getting in with the suboxone program,i have tenncare but the problem is i have take care of my grandmother! i took her out of the nursing home for a reason and that was my love for her! and be dam if i put her through that hell again!!! i'd rather suffer than someone who has lived a positively life! but anyways I was just wondering why i didnt experience any physical withdrawals like everybody else does when coming off methadone cold turkey? I even had slept for 2 1/2 weeks strait in jail! nothing couldnt wake me up!!! so has anyone heard/know why?

I cannot relate to any of u. I have been on methadone for several months to get off hydros.. n was at only 30mg liquid n tapered down to 15mg n then I quite and this is my 5th day off of it. And it sucks I still feel lik crap I am considered a single mom of a very active 5 yr old. And it sucks because I cannot do anything at all I feel like crap all the time.. im constantly cold no matter if im inside or outside and its like 90° outside I have dont hardly eat n my head hurts all the time... I dont have a doctor to be able to get mediciane to help me... the only simi good thing about it is that I got my sex drive back. I was hoping to feel a little better by now since I wasnt on a high dose n it wasnt for very long so I honestly dont know what to do

Ur so full of s***, if ur a one time user, it's out of ur system in 3 to 4 days. No months., no weeks. If ur going to give people advice, do just that. Stop trying to scare people.

NOBODY IS NOT GOING TO FAIL A DRUG TEST FOR TAKING 1/2 10mg or 1000mg OF METHADONE FOR IT BEING IN YOUR BONES! LoL ... ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO FAIL DRUG TEST 5 DAYS LATER AFTER TAKING 5mg OF METHADONE! FIRST OF ALL METHADONE IS METABOLIC (meaning that methadone is based on your metabolism) SECOND OF ALL EVERYBODY'S METABOLISMS DIFFERENT(FOR EXAMPLE:My friend and I took 10mg of methadone a piece,we both had a drug test 5 days later,my friend passed her drug test but i failed mine because I have a slower acting metabolism) I would also like to add the people that are worried if they had/going to passed their drug test given from there jobs after taking methadone, more than likely you will pass! 1) 10 panel drug test is waaay more expensive than the 5 and 7 panel drug test! 2) methadone is not an opiate and does not show up as an opiate!3) methadone is in its own category,meaning that when methadone is on a drug test,its going to say methadone on the drug panel on a 10 panel drug test,and jobs that does do random drug test, are 5 panel which test for:

COCAINE,THC,OPIATES,AMPHETAMINES, METHAMPHETAMINES... and its a fact that methadone does not get in your bones nor does it routin your teeth! The methadone can make you crave sweets,and that is one of the most bothersome side affect! Especially when eating tons of sweets during the night ,then going back to bed,not thinking about the consequences are going to be, with poor hygiene by not brushing after eating tons of sweets! and OMG! the pain from broken teeth! not tooth,not just a tooth,nut teeth!!! Well I Hope Someone Finds This Info Helpful!!! BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE!!!!!

Hi,
I have been on pain meds for the last 4 years. I know many won't believe this when I give you the very short version of how I came to be on pain killers. 5 years ago I began to experience pain in various muscles in my body. I went to my primary care physician who sent me to a rheumatologist. He did all kinds of tests but couldn't find an answer as to why this was happening. He saw I had a patch of psoriasis on my elbow and decided that I had psoriatic arthritis. Btw all these tests had been going on for at least a year prior to me being placed on pain killers and I had tried everything they wanted me to use under the sun. That was non narcotic which was fine with me as I didn't want to use narcotics and Had never done drugs a day in my life and I was raising my granddaughter who at the time was 2. After having many misdiagnosis it was decided I indeed did have psoriatic arthritis so my doctor placed me on humira and methotrexate. I would have to give myself a shot of humira and methotrexate 1 injection of each daily. After about 1 month of taking these 2 drugs I had the worst reaction anyone could possibly have. I literally ended up laying in my bed sleeping all day and not being able to walk, every muscle in my body was not working properly and I was petrified I'd not walk again. I had a 3 yr old by this time and I couldn't get out of bed to even feed him. I had to have my son who had his own life and lived 150 miles away to drop everything and come stay with me to help take care of his nephew. I went back to my primary care physician and he stopped the humira and methotrexate after 7 months of using it ( I had no idea that was causing the paralysis and excruciating pain it even hurt to have my eyes open) I was then sent to a pain management clinic. BOY if I knew the results of going there were to be like I'd have never gone. As my physician had explained it to me, was that they could do therapies such as ultra sound, possibly a combination of anti inflammatory medications. Never was there a mention of narcotics. After all the other things I had tried I figured it wouldn't hurt to try again I really needed to get better so I could raise my granddaughter. So I went and explained what I had been through, and all the meds I tried and we talked about physical therapy which I was wiling to do but I barely made it to his office with out assistance of my husband and son. I couldn't walk let alone drive to physical therapy. My neck was so stiff I could move my heads. Then he asked me if I had tried opana, and I said no I had never heard of it. So he wrote me a script for 10mg ER's and three 5mg daily of the IR's and I am not lying he never once told me they were narcotics the only thing he told me was if it worked and I could start walking again without assistance and not drive until I know how it affects me. So I got the prescription filled and took the ERs that night and I took 1 instant relief, boy did I feel good!!!! For a person who's never taken narcotics I felt great! By the second dose I was moving again and by the end of the week I was playing with my granddaughter and almost running again. Wow I remember thinking what a miracle drug. I still didn't know it was a narcotic until my next visit to pain management when he started to ask me all kinds of questions and telling me things like: where do you keep your medication? Does anyone in your family take narcotics etc. I asked him why he was asking me these questions and he said it was because people steal meds like these and he explained these are really strong narcotics and people with drug problems will steal them which is how I found out my daughter was addicted to HERION. Anyways this drug has ruined my life. One day I decided to go off of it as I like everyone else who dreams of the day to be in recovery as I am now addicted and a slave to this tiny round pill. I have lost everything my house, friends, and myself in this addiction. I wish before a doctor puts anyone on these horrible pills. That they be required to use them for a full 30 days to see what it's like to try to get off them. To feel the rebound pain, the throwing up and all the lovely things that goes along with withdrawal. I was once a decent person who didn't lie, steal or do the things I have done since I've started this drug. I am ashamed of myself and have found myself in a terrible depression just because I want to get off of them. I've found myself seeking drugs when I run low or out and have even found myself lying to friends who know I am on these. They really do steal your life and you become a blurred version of your old self. I do have a question though but I wanted to share part of my story with you all in case someone is thinking about getting on or doing opiates, please don't. Find other methods or your life will change drastically and your only friend will be this drug. It Has taken so many lives with either death or changing a person to the point of the only thing you can think of all day and night is your next pill, shot or dose of whatever you are taking. I hope everyone who wants to get off does and can before it takes your life. My question is, I just tried methadone for the first time ever. 3 days in a row of 30mg per day. How long will it stay in my system? I have a job drug test that apparently is a top of the line test. I was told they even test for subs as my friend works at the lab where the test at. So I have to do a drug test on Sept 8th 2014 and I took it Aug 8th, 9th and 10th. Will it still be in my system then or should I look for another job :( Thanks for any help. BTW when I started taking my meds I started out on 15 instant relief daily and 2 -10 ER's a day, now I am on 6-5 IR's and 2- 20 ER 's. Sorry this was so long, but I hope this helps anyone seeking info about taking these or not. I used to think when I'd see a tv show with addicts that could never happen to me, well I was wrong it did.
