How Long Does Methadone Stay In Your System? (Page 5)

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 do know that a regular U/A will not detect methadone unless it is SPECIFICALLY tested for. The meth test is 3 x more expensive too. Meth will not show up on a regular opioid test.

Well i wouldn't say that now...cuz..many employers r hip to the junky lifestyle...as well as habits ..n..r concerned for hiring 1...especially for employment..now a days ...a 10 panel drug screen..is the mandatory procedure for most employers..its too easy to pass a 5 panel..hell my daughter's 12 n she's smart enough to figure that out..(just saying..lol!!)..but really..don't believe the hype..if ur a user...n a drug test is coming up...if its a dose of methadone that's in ur system..believe me...ull fail..so b prepared..look up the half life of this stuff...its pure madness.....best of luck....

I was sent to prison whilst being on 55mg of Methadone, it was the worst thing in my life that i have ever been through, thoughts of suicide came on an almost daily basis but i had no choice but to battle through the physical and especially the emotional torment, the physciatrist there told me that i'd be over the worst of it in a couple of weeks, this was totally untrue, it was a good 4 months before i startedto feel the slightest bit of normality come back into my life, for anyone who is considering jumping off even the minutest dose of Methadone i can suggest that you take it as slow as possible with your reductions, 2.5mg a month is the recommended reduction rate, i will never put myself through that sort of physical and mental tortue ever again, happy to be off opiates for 15 and a half years now. I hope this encourages anyone who wants get off of the done and stay clean, remember though detox is only the mere beginning of staying clean.

OK this crap is well-CRAP! 23 yrs I have been on it, and taken off because I puff. I suffered for 10 days-until I had sense to take the Tramadol(Ultram). It fills the opiod receptors and takes the symptoms away! a boost from a small dose of Percoset helps. I will never allow myself to take that again.

Stay away from methadone-it is bad stuff! My whole life is upside down because of this s***! and it is what I say it is! July 26 was my last dose-I am still feeling like crap! Very hard to sleep-need narcotics and more to get rest- I started because other meds were too expensive- Always my meds were prescribed by DR. And it was a Dr. who thinks that after 10 mgs, every 12 hours for a week was enough to wean me off! This-is why I do not own a firearm. SOB! It may be months I have to do this-MY back is bad and I have been to the ER 9 times for help, OMG! I did better on the street. Waht a Dr des is called a practice-sob go practice on someone else.

You know... you should be careful with anecdotal evidence.. just because you have a bad experience with methadone doesnt mean everyone will. I WISH i was back on my methadone. I had a LIFE with methadone. I was on 60mg a day and LOST weight because i was pain free and could MOVE. Then i switched docs because mine retired and new doc treats me like a drug addict (cause hes a pain management doc, i guess they think EVERYONE is a drug addict) switched me from methadone to morphine (in a much lower equivalent dose.. same mgs, guess he thought i wouldnt know the difference...) then after two years of me coming in and STILL being in pain, and having REGAINED all the weight and then some cause, hello, i cant MOVE without screaming... i have kids to take care of and it hurts so bad... on fentanyl now and STILL in pain... i want my methadone back. BTW, when i first switched docs it took me almost a year to get into one because i got pregnant in between and no one would touch me, weaned myself off the methadone when i knew i wasnt going to find a doc in time for a refill, only took me a couple months, made that last prescription last that long, the only real problem i had coming off of it was the increase in pain. Not an increase because of the drug or withdrawal, i just gradually went back to being in the same enormous pain i was in before the drug. And i had been on it for years. So all the methadone scare tactics and fear are unwarranted if you are in actual pain.. I think most of the problem is people on too high a dose for their pain, people with a low tolerance to opiods before they go on them, and people with no pain at all who recreationally or as a treatment for drug abuse go on them. But then thats the same for most opioid pain meds, DONT USE THEM IF YOU ARENT IN PAIN. Or if your pain doesnt warrant them. If you feel high, its a good hint that you are on too high a dose. I felt nothing while on methadone but a lack of my usual pain.

The worst of the withdrawal was over by day 14. I was literally hours from checking into a hospital.....I'm glad I stayed strong. The less disabling symptoms continued well into August my last dose was 6/29). Although I'm in alot of pain and less physically functioning my mind isn't in a fog. My family has been thrilled to have me back. I will never again go on methadone. Good luck to everyone!!!!!
