Freddy,
If u have been on methadone for that long, at that strength, u can certainly expect to have methadone in your system for a while. Everyone is different and depending on your metabolism will determine how long it stays in your system. My husband can take methadone one day and test NEGATIVE for it the next day! I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED that he didnt fail his drug test. Obviously he has a fast metabolism and takes methadone every other day and .only about 10/mgs...anyway....u say u need the test to be positive for methadone?

Oh yes, its gonna still be in ur system. I took 40mg of methadone and I tested positive for it in my system a month later. I have been on pain meds for 17 years and too be honest, methadone is the longest life drug i have ever seen in my life. So if your not suppose to have it in your system I suggest staying far from it. Good luck!

@Nonny, wow!!! I am so sorry that u are going through so much . I wish u well...and i too gained an extreme amount of weight being on methadone. I went from 108 pounds to 240, then i dropped to 200. I am still slowly dropping weight, but its taking a while to lose. I did some research and talked with a few doctors and they tols me that methadone makes people crave sugar...lots of sugar. Which i happen to agree with. Also methadone slows us down so we arent as active as we used to be. Combine that with a metabolism that slows down in our 30`s and its a recipe for extra weight we dont want. I have NEVER had problems losing weight until i reached my 30`s...time for me to step it up i guess! How often do u do yoga and exercise?

Hi ,my name is Nonny I have a dual diagnosis of MS and Lupus, Due to the Lupus I lost my R. lung,It was extremely painful as they have to bone saw through your rids and use a rib spreader to get ib there I was on pain meds for 6 months but I had to return to work so they switched me to methadone I gained 200 lbs (No Joke in 8 months so I detoxed down 2mg/wk to 3 .what luck I broke mt arm in 4 place and tore 2 ligaments.rather than go on Demerol I had them raise my ,Methadone to 20mg My arm was a mess and the methadone creap up to 100 again .I had loss 75 lb of the weight I gained but turned around and gained backanother150. I still do yoga daily and I am a vegan so my cal intake is anout700. Time seemed to fly and I had now been on methadone 5 years .I figured the weight was causing me more pain than the methadone was helping so I am now going down 2 /2wk This I am now at 30 .I have never felt any thing coming down but better, at about 60 I start to sleep better and I am more active with my family .For some reason my weight is not going down this time ,Does anyone know why? I thought maybe because I have been on it so much longer that it will take longer to drop I have never weighed more than 110 lbs ,I was a lyrical dancer until I was 38.I have had 5 kids and had a flat stomach ,now It is hard and sicks out far ,my legs are heavy with tight skin ,I look nothing like myself. It seems to be different then fat It;s like someone pumped you up like a big balloon Heavy people can squeeze into clothes ,my skin don't give ,ans it is so heavy I can't carry it. Someone please trll me why the weight isn't coming off this time, For those who suffer from restless legs ,please try Calmax it works wonders and will also help you sleep just google it and it will tell you where to get itm

@ mama D. Same here! There is no way i could have had the life i had after my addiction without methadone. I know there are so many people that bad talk methadone, but i also know many of the have never used it. Many say they are swapping one addiction for another, but i think of it like this: methadone can help people get their lives back, so i think of it the same way i think of insulin to a diabetic. A diabetic needs insulin to replace what its body is not getting/making on its own. Methadone helps addicts by replacing what their body needs/craves. I know methadone can work very well if you want it to. You will get out of methadone from what you put into it...if you use it with treatment/counseling and take it the way your supposed to, then you should expect wonderful things for yourself. If you abuse methadone and just use it for a "high", then dont expect it to work for you. With methadone, its a joint-partnership.

Good for u MAMMA D!! It is a wonderful feeling to live your life without having the need to constantly search for a "fix" to make you feel better, or be in constant agonizing pain. I have been on methadone for 7 years because of a pain pill addiction (from a car accident) and it was one of the best decisions ive ever made. I too got my life back from methadone. You say you would have been bed ridden? May i ask what happened? Look forward to hearing from you. :) my email is {edited for privacy} if you or anyone would like to chat about this. :)

Yes! Depending on what state you live in it is illegal for them to fire you because you take methadone. As long as it is a prescription you should be safe. When i take drug tests for work i bring in my bottle to the lab and show them that way it wont come back as a "bad positive" drug test. What i mean by that is it wont show any illegal drugs in my system. The only things in my system are the things that are allowed to be there.

It depends on how often you take it and your metabolism. When exactly is your drug test?

I have a disease that without taking methadone (8 yrs). I would be bed-ridden at 39 yrs old. The methadone has given me my LIFE BACK! I have been able to care for my now grown children. I am now 47 yrs old. Methadone is responsible for my ability to be PRESENT & ACTIVE in all 4 of my kids lives! Sorry to others who have not been helped.

When you first changed to suboxone did they make u stop taking methadone for 3 days? Did u have to go without sonething for that time? Ive been on methadone for 7yrs and they told me to let them know IF i wanna sqitch to suboxone. But if i have to go without something everyday i wont be able to do it. Did it work for u?

Ive been on it for 10 years and dont seem to have any negative side effects. I just had a clean physical, EKG and all. My primary doctor said he had no problems with my taking it; the problem is because of people abusing it, pain doctors no longer what to prescribe it. I rather have bone problems or cut my life by 5 years than live in chronic pain which gives you no quality of life. Ive tried everything from surgical procedures to injections to TENS, physical therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture etc. Nothing has worked like MEthadone. Yet now that no doctor will prescribe it, Im probably going to have to go to an ER or worse die of lack of it vs having it. Our medical system pays for procedures so having to do an injection every few months is a lot more profiltable...yet its thousands of dollars for patients who then have to find someone to take care of them, drive them etc which some do not have. Its sad that people abusing a drug will prevent people who need it from having it. I cant talk about heroin cuz Ive never done illicit drugs...but every medicine has side effects and you have to weight positives vs negatives. Its worked for me and its not right that due to others, i now am going to suffer and perhaps die - i refuse to live in chronic pain thats just zero life when you cant even breathe without feeling pain

@ Tammy... You say you've never taken a methadone, yet you have to give a urine drug test in a couple days and are wondering if you'll come up dirty for it. Why would you be worried if you didn't take any? These questions never cease to amaze me.
