Switching from methadone to subutex through me into precipitated withdrawal. It was awful for 12 hours I wanted to die. After that I have managed to take 2mg of subutex every couple of hours. It is not making me sick, but I dont feel good yet by any means. I wonder when the switch will be done, and I wont experience this minor W/D, I didnt take methadone for 3 days prior to the switch and BAM!!! I had holy hell of withdrawal.

Nicholas Spychola (# 12) - use H to get off methadone and then use Suboxone to get off the H. This worked in about a month in a half. I was on 75 mgs of methadone for 3 years. The only hard part is dealing with the opiates again. Just depends on how bad you want to get clean I suppose. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Well I've heard methadone can stay in your system up to 21 days safer last dose most everything else 3 to 5 but Valium are a pain so people test positive for it up to 30 days later

You can take a suboxne next day after methadone. You don't have to wait so many hrs. I have anyway and felt no withdrawal.

I am a tad late to respond. But I relate to ur situation. Which is hard to find. I was on methadone for 3 years got up over a hundred, went down, up and down. You know taper down to 20 and just quit all done so over it. I plan to switch to suboxone but I wanted to wait as long as possible because I did not believe the b******* that it takes two to four days after three years. No way. It's been a little over 30 days now and when I take the suboxone that does absolutely nothing. In fact I think it makes the withdrawals even worse. And yes I am still in withdrawal from methadone. I have not used heroin and years and years methadone ruined my life more. Can you tell me when you finally started to feel that the methadone was out and when the box finally started working? If I don't have normalcy soon I will f****** kill myself. I do what they tell me. I do everything the right way but it seems like every time I take a suboxone that there's a small bit of methadone still inside me. How long did it actually take you? I'm curious on an update, that would be fantastic. Thank you.

I was on 150mgs for little over five years then detoxed at two milligrams a day until 60mgs when I switched to 1 mg a day. I was at 7 mgs on a Friday and took nothing sat or sun. Monday morning early I was tested to start Suboxone and was clean from methadone. I also felt the 4mgs of subs alot.

Methadone absolutely has a half life. So if you take 30 mg, the next day you still have 15 mg in you but if you take another 30 mg the next day you have 45 mg in your system. That's why it takes so long for methadone to get out of your system

So if I were to take say 10 mg pill just once and the half-fill is reportedly 72 hours it will take 250 hour to be clear? Does that also mean I would fail a drug test that entire time?
I have had major depression for 35+ years causing fibromyalgia for over 20 year. It's the only thing that works and gave me back my life. But I am having difficulty getting into a pain clinic because my family practitioners are reticent To I've a referral and won't bother to speak with my psychiatrist. I have tried Lyrica Savella etc. Those turn me into a zombie. Methadone helped me loose 40lbs in a short time because I was able to go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Do you have advice? Lastly, I have never lied to any of my doctors, but the truth seems to be counterproductive.
Thank you

Methadone is a synthetic opiates and don't show up on a normal drug test they have to be specifically looking for it so I don't think a job would test for it but good luck

I have been on a morphing pump, OxyContin, Duragesic, oxicodone and methadone. I have taken methadone for over ten years. It has a half life of 36 hours. So my Dr. Said. I was never able to reach that goal. I stepped down from 60 mg a day to 40 then 20 and I quit taking it. I really miss the pain control I got from it. But to take Lyrica I could not do both. I would rather take methadone.

Why'd you tk drug's when you knew you had a urine test for a "VERY IMPORTANT" job?!!?? Wait' til AFTER YOU GET THE JOB to celebrate NEXT time hon ;-) :-) Take care!

I'm also curious about the methadone and how long will it stay in my system. I took my last 4 last Wednesday but I learned the hard way that s*** (pills) will stay in and messed me up. I'm hating myself for even taking again within 2 wks of drs appt...also any advice for not just one f*** up but 3. I'm going to the Dr next Monday in like 5 days and today I'm taking my last generic op 20mg. I've had them for 3days in a row now Tbh and I was trying out a New for me New a d d pill which is for sleep disorders. How long will nuvigil 250mg stay in my system? I know I sound like a junkie but honestly I'm starting to panic like the differences between urine drug screens and if it is sent off? I just wonder about when they send it off, is that a typical thing that is done?? Thank you I'm new here btw I always use this to verify pills etc.
