Got clear tanish capsule white powder inside was told they are 10 mlg methadone capsules what are they ## Are they any types of markings or imprints on the capsule as well? I probably wouldn't trust the person who gave that to you if you even feel the need to question what that white powder could be. Unfortunately every prescription drug in the U.S. is required by the FDA to have some sort of marking that distinguishes it from other pills. The possibilities can seem endless without that information. It sounds like someone just bought a pack of clear empty capsules and filled them with baking soda or some other illicit drug. Certain websites do offer lab testing for a hefty fee to identify a pill's ingredients, but that may be your only other option if you want to play it safe. I...

I have attended a treatment clinic since 3/22/11 and have been doing awesome. It has really helped me. I would like to find a regular doctor that can possibly prescribe to me so I don't have to travel twice a week to the clinic and it also costs me $330 a month. Can you help me?? ## Hi Jay, If you run a google search for "methadonedocs" you should be able to find a webpage that helps you find these types of doctors within your general area. I was going to go ahead and post a few names from there, but wasn't sure what city you're in? You can also give this other page a try too if you just want to search for regular pain management specialists: wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist I hope this helps!

i just moved to long island ny from florida and i was seeing a dr for methadone thought when i got here ide get a dr to perscribe it for me but i cant an im missing work do to withdrawls i have no friends or help up here if any one can point me in the correct way i would be in big time det john cavallo 516-{edited for privacy} ## Have you tried looking for a clinic? In some states, private doctors can only prescribe it strictly for pain treatments, because they aren't trained in its use for addiction and other conditions. ## Email me {edited for privacy}, I'm having the same problem too, but maybe can help.

Would I be able to pass a drug screen if I've been taking Methadone for 1 week and haven't taken any in 5 days? ## I highly doubt that you will pass a urine screen in 5 days of not taking methadone, I take it on a daily basis and I go to a DR. to get, I usually run out towards the end of the month but when I get drug screened at the doc I always test positive for it....And I have been without it 7 days before and still tested pos for it ## If I take 1 methedone 10 mg how long will it take for me to pass a urine drug test ## It will take atleast seven days before you will be clean because methadone has a long half-life. Postpone if possible.

Looks to me like you have had too many of them as it is. Lol

Was taking 30-40 mg of Methadone per day for chronic,severe pain. Dr lost his controlled substance license and I was left "out in the cold" per se. Now..hurt so bad..quality of life is nil. Haven't ever Dr shopped so don't know what to do! My pain is from Scoliosis..Osteoporosis & fx of the back from the latter. ## Hs your doctor given you any referral suggestions? While I am sure there are pain management centers in your area, there is no way of knowing, ahead of time, what they may prescribe, if anything, to treat your condition. It would also help if you posted certain specific cities, or towns, so others might be able to make suggestions. Does anyone have advice to add? ## Have you found any help,I'm in the same situation and it makes me mad that people who a...

. I just moved to sacramento in Northern California to finish out my schooling I'm at school 8-9 hrs a day I'm a trained auto technician. I've been on those medications for years I need to find something up here ASAP . I'm pretty much out of my meds and am dealing with huge concentrating issues and tons of pain. I need all 3 meds where in sacramento can I go? ## What type of doctor were you originally going to before you moved (pain management doctor/regular MD/Psychiatrist/etc)? Of those 3 I just mentioned, I think a pain management doctor would probably be the least reluctant to prescribe all those medications at once, since they are more used to dealing with patients on heavy amounts of even stronger narcotics... I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can p...

What 25 states allow medicaid patients methadone to be paid for? Secondly, in which states are there nursing homes that take medicaid patients on methadone and will give the treatment? ## I know in california medi-cal (which is california's version of medicaid) pays for methadone treatment... ## @Vickie, I found a page that lists the states that offer medicaid coverage for Methadone, as well as some info on their policies. Here's a link to the page: ncsl.org/issues-research/health/mat-opiate-50-state-table-medicaid.aspx I hope this helps!

I'm just a phone call away before I book my boob job but a bit worried as I haven't told them I'm on 86ml of methadone. Will they still do it if I tell them on the day? So worried an confused please help ## Oh I am on 20mg of valium too ## No, you really do need to let them know ahead of time, especially about the Methadone. Learn more Methadone details here. It can cause some problems with certain types of anesthesia and analgesics that may be required during and after the surgery, some of which could be life threatening. And, even if you don't suffer any serious ones, I really don't think you want to wake up and find you can feel everything in the middle of the surgery, or discover that the pain medications aren't working immediately afterwards. In such cases, ...

I have a 'non nida' UA for a new job in 5 days. I took methadone for 2 years at a low dose (10mg a day). I stepped down to 5mg a week ago, then 2.5, now haven't had any since 2 days ago. I have a ua Wednesday (it's now saturday). Can I pass it? I've passed the same test (8 years ago) for the same job when I smoked weed heavily, just quit 4 days ahead and drank tons of water. But I wasn't on the done then. I stopped the weed 2 weeks ago this time but I was a very light smoker at this point. Suggestions?

Im on a clinic and it seems like the methadone i got when i was at the hospital was wat stronger even though i was still getting the same mg.it seemed stronger and lasted better until i got dosed the next day at the sametime basically does anyone know if this is true or not or if it just seems like that I'm very confused about this someone please tell me what you know ## There can be some fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient that is in generic medications and some people can be sensitive to these differences. Learn more Methadone details here. The other possibility is that your body may have just gotten used to this dosage and it's no longer affecting you the same way that it did before. This is perfectly normal and happens to everyone eventually. What is your cur...

CAN METHADONE AND MORPHINE BE MIXED, IS IT SAFE AND WHAT SIDE EFFECTS DOE'S IT HAVE ? ## Different narcotics are often used together, to help someone get better pain control, however you do have to be careful of the dosage that is used. Concomitant use can result in an increased risk of central nervous system depression, which can result in lowered breathing rate, lowered heart rate and lowered blood pressure. Has your doctor prescribed them both? ## Would buprenorphine sublingual tablets 200 microgram help wiv methodone withdrawals? ## hey july the bup should help the withdrawals for at least 2 days, its long acting really but they come in 2, 4, 8 and 16 mg pills I think so I don't know how you got the 200 mcg dosage but let me know how it goes...

There is no methadone dispensaries where we are going. Death of my husband. I must go and have my methadone too. Thank you, Sharon (425) {edited for privacy} ## Hi Sharon, Sorry to hear about your situation. I know this may be late, but perhaps you may have gotten a quicker response had you mentioned where you were going? - or - what city you were looking to find a methadone doctor in? Without that information no one can even attempt to answer your question despite it's apparent urgency. For future reference, please post back with a bit more detail so I or others may be of better service to you.
