Im on 40 mgs if methadones but havent taken in 4 days i get oxys 15 with it but im trying something to get off methadone cuz it causes organ fauile sooner or later..i lost my friend 5 months ago was 36 left 2 autistic sons and a wife..i miss his alot he was taking this combo.i went to pain clinic cuz my doc was giving me dones and oxys for 3 years and after the deaths in vegas he passed us to pain clinic and they said straight out they dont perscribe methadone and wont see us if we take 100mgs of it or oxy 30s and give shots in back plus a controlled release and a quik release because abuse will happen with just quik release and i can say with 100 percent thats right cuz on methadone i never abused my meds.i never took 40mgs just the first 6 months then its like chalk u can take 2 a day and u cant tell the difference my spine felt weird first 2 days but im ok now.im lucky things are working out just be careful and try to stay under 30 to 40 mgs or less at pain clinic they said alot of people who come off that much can ween down with very little discomfort.good luck out there

Also, I havent gotten a buzz off oxys in 2 years, not that i want to anymore just saying at 30mgs of methadone i couldnt get that same feeling anymore which is fine. I'm not trying to feel high off of methadone and oxys..but a xanax does increase the effect, but u will have the worse withdrawals even taking opiates if u mix methadone and xanax so please stay away from that mixture,

Not only is taking methadone and Xanax together stupid it's highly DANGEROUS. If you're getting the methadone from the methadone clinics, they take random urine and if u come back positive for a benzo they will kick you off the clinic. I was on methadone for almost two years. My last day on methadone was Aug 4, and it was THE best decision I ever made. The highest I was on was 80mgs I slowly dropped to 47 and stayed there for about a year. When I detoxed I went down 5mg every 3 days until I got to 7mg and just stopped. The worst of the withdrawal symptoms were not being able to sleep. That lasted for about 2 weeks, and then 2 weeks after stopping is when I felt the worst, I was sick for a week but now I'm fine. I also get oxys for severe rheumatoid arthritis and as an addict it's easy to take more than directed looking for that "high" you have to train yourself to know that just because you don't feel high doesn't mean it's NOT working once you get that down, you're good. I don't know where you're from, but in CT the methadone clinics are nothing but a hostage situation. A word of advice, if you need to go on methadone, research it cuz they don't give you any long term options. Unless you want to be on it forever I would advise you to go to a detox and they usually detox you off whatever opiate ur on with methadone for 5 days THAT'S ALL YOU NEED. If I can be of any other help just ask.

I live in las vegas and was going to a regular doctor for 6 years was prescribed for lortabs to oxy 30s and when i got tired of going thru them too quick i went on methadone he gave me the 10mg pills and he prescribed my friend methadone when she was taking 1mg of xanax but she rarely took those but i would take a quarter piece a day for 5 months and took methadone..ive been off them for 3 months but it was hell even tho i had my oxys and methadone was sick in the mind and stomach. I couldnt s*** for days so dont ever try to mix those two for a long time. ive only taken 30 mgs of methadone in 1 week 3 pills and gonna only take 10 mgs a day until next month when clinic will ween me off and get on a controlled release pain pill.

I wouldn't advise quitting methadone or any other opiates cold turkey, I was on methadone almost 2 yrs and the first 2 weeks after tapering off I was fine the next 3 weeks was HORRIBLE. I couldn't sleep I was so sick. Taper down to zero on the methadone and see if ur doc will give you a prescription for a benzo that will help good luck

I'd be very careful mixing methadone and morphine. I took methadone, but it stopped working. My doc told me he could switch me to morphine ER. He then proceeded to tell me not to EVER take the 2 together. Something about your heart rate can slow way down. And I was even taking a low dose, 30mgs twice a day. Also has something to do with methadone remaining in your system for so long? I'm not sure what to believe, but I'll wait to take the morphine.....just in case! Best Wishes to all dealing with chronic pain.

Methadone is long lasting, takes up to 60 hrs for first dose to leave and every time u take it, it adds on top of the previous dose...the pain clinic is taking us off methadone and giving us morphine 15mg er 3x a day plus percocet we use to get 4 x 10mgs a day of methadone and 2 x 15 mgs of oxycodone. now my wife is 1 month off methadone and replace with the morphine was a little tough at first she sneezed alot but got thru fine im on 3 x 10mgs of methadone and 2 x 15 and just got next script 3 x 5mgs methadone for ween and 2 x 10mgs of oxy...i work so its a little harder for me but this ween down works for methadone if anyone is interested in asking ur docs.

I took 80 milgrams of liquid Methadone at 8:00 a.m.. Its now 11:00 p.m. I just shot 80cc's of tar, I skin pop bcuz have no veins. Long story long........ I felt it full force!! It seems like the M-done enhanced the H or vice-versa. Anyway just wanted share my experience since there's a lot of b.s. or 2nd news.

I should have been clearer. I waited only a day before taking the morphine. No way was I dealing with withdawl! Did that once......never again. Unfortunately my doc stated me on 15 MG's. Morphine.....when I was needing 30 mgs of methadone. Who can guest what my pain scale is??LOL
I hope my fellow painters have the best day possible!

Who are you seeing in Vegas? Is your a workmans comp? They are the ones declining thevOxycontin.It's so expensive that the Drawn have to give you something you can afford.It also worked great for me.No side effects, just pain relief.

Ive taken xanax valuim or clomazapan with methadone and it works great it is a very dangerous mix if u take alot together.the bad thing is when u quit taking benzos the methadone doesnt help u will lose appetite stomach get screwed up and real bad constipation..i took for 5 months after my best friend died and it took 2 months to get back to normal coming off benzos.i stay away from xanax but take half of clamazapan here and there and only take 5mgs of methadone after 3 years of 40mgs.the methadone is used for back pain but my doc wasnt to bright so after one of his patients died he sent everyone to pain clinic and they help get my friend off of dones to small doses of morphine and perks and and thats what ill soon get..be careful out there dont be a statistic.

In las Vegas Nv. Try Dr.Mohajer Pooyah. May be spelled wrong. He is an India Dr., he cares for his patients, knowledgeable, spends time with you. NOT a pill mill. A real doctor.

Hi Deb, Im 57 from Pa. I've been on methadone for 30 yrs. As everyone said methadone does not cancel out any pill. My brother and 2 cousins passed from bladder cancer. I guess the doctor figures to take methadone on a good day and morphine on rougher days. My cousin passed in a month. Bladder cancer like any cancer is bad. Also she was on so much morphine she was falling. Just know Your in my prayers and at least your doctor wants you or your hubby to be comfortable. Sometimes when cancer hits we cant take that. In other words cancer in my family is a death sentence. So just keep taking it as long as YOU or the person wants to. I've lost my entire family from Bladder an other cancers. God be with you an your family. I've been on 120 mg for 30 yrs. Orange diskets. They dont work anymore. So maybe when the methadone doesn't work-the morphine will.

Your facts on methadone production are false. Hitler had nothing to do with it... Respectfully.
