Ive been doing 80 mg OCs,or 100 mg morphines daily for almost 4 yrs. Now I'll be honest if one or the other is avilable, I'll doo both. Bottom line, I have 3 beautiful girls, and daddy is slipping. All the clinics around will not give a non liquid take home. I work in Indiana and live in michigan,real early hours. needless to say every clinic has turned me down. I know how hard it is to decifer weather my little story is heart felt.I do everything in my power to raise my kids right. But when daddy is sick, just from the oc and morphine, and alot of times herion.I can't find a doctor who would be willing to concider takeing my case into consideration. My personal opinion on methadone for opiates has blown my mind. my mother 47 has been on the same side on the street, and to see her not on the streets any more is a blessing. I hope you can refer someone who can let me get on with life. thank you Derick Schabes

derrick. all clinics metedone that is have the Llam wafers for women because of possible pregnacy, men can get them too if they can't handle liquid through it up in fron't of them and let them see you cannot stmach liquid. if you are charged it is higher. methedone is dirt cheap at the pharmacy. Last year after anna's nicoles death and methedone outbreak with teens ama cracked down on Dr.s you could luck out some dr's. are using opana it's high but there are teating dr's. These big major dr. clinics not (methadone) other are not the place to go.

While I understand Derick's issues with the Methadone treatment clinics, I'd like to clarify some facts regarding the treatment protocol.

By law, anyone needing Methadone treatment will have to go into a clinic daily for a period of time. There is nothing they can do to change that, as I said, it's the law. You basically have to prove that you can take it responsibly and stay clean to earn the right to be able to get certain amounts of the medication that you can take at home.

A regular doctor cannot prescribe it for addiction treatment, they can only prescribe it for pain.

Someone requiring at home treatment now should look into treatment with Suboxone. You still have to see a specialist, but most of the time you get a prescription that you take at home.

As to which is more addictive, between Oxycontin and Morphine, the risk is about the same for both and it all really depends on the person and their own nature.

Learn more Oxycontin details here and you can learn more Morphine details here.




The tablet with the Ivax logo 10 on one side and the 5664 on the other contains 10mgs of Buspirone, which is most commonly used to treat anxiety.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and blurred vision.

Learn more Buspirone details here.

And I'm sorry, but I can't find anything listed for the other tablet.

Does anyone else recognize it?
