How To Inject Methadone

My son was on oral methadone for 3 years. He got arrested and was in rehab for 5 weeks. During that time he detoxed from the methadone. When he got out he was clean for a year then one morning his son found him dead. Wife said it was a methadone overdose and they wrote it off as suicide. There was no drug paraphernalia at the scene and none in his stomach. Just what he had for supper. No stomach flush was done on him. I have researched this for four years and am currently trying to get murder charges pressed against two people that have admitted to others they did it. There were no other drugs in his body and from what I have read and researched being injected with the amount he was on and detoxed from would have killed him. The Pathologist said he wouldn't have time to even remove ...

Methadone

Methadone, sold under the brand names Dolophine and Methadose among others, is a synthetic opioid agonist used for chronic pain and also for opioid dependence.[5] It is used to treat chronic pain, and it is also used to treat addiction to heroin or other opioids. [8][9] Prescribed for daily use, the medicine relieves cravings and removes withdrawal symptoms.[10] Detoxification using methadone can be accomplished in less than a m...

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BECAUSE MY DOSE DOESN'T HELP ME THE SAME AS BEFORE! SO DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE RIGHT WAY SO I WONT WASTE MY DOSE? ## I think it is dangerous and maybe you should talk to your dr. before doing it....and i dont know what you mean by "help" you the same way, but you do not get a rush from methadone...i have been on it for years for pain..maybe you just need your dose adjusted...i wouldnt reccommend injecting it because of the dangers of overdosing ## Hi Slim, There's actually some very important information I referenced in the paragraphs below, that should clarify a few things as far as injecting methadone goes and other safer alternatives: "Methadone is available in traditional pill, sublingual tablet, and two different formulations designed for...

The Methadone is the pink liquid. I've taken about 60-100mg daily fo 2 to 2.5 years. I now have circulation problems, numbness & swelling in hands and wrist people think it sounds like carpal tunnel. Thanks for any help and solutions. ## Have you seen a doctor for a diagnosis? Carpal Tunnel is not caused by medications, it is a repetitive motion injury to the wrist. Chronic use and/or abuse of narcotics, including Methadone, can result in health problems, including circulatory issues. It can also cause joint problems that are very similar to arthritis, which is why some of them should not be given to people with joint pain and issues. ## Or Arthritis or even nerve damage. ## Methadone is NOT meant to be injected! You are harming your veins and your body by doing this. That pink ...

I have been on a methadone programme for 3 years now and recently I had a urine drug screen done which came up positive for fluoxitine which the lab tech interpreted as diazepam. I had injected my methadone a few times prior to this test is it possible that by injecting it it gave them the reading of fluoxetine or diazepam?? I have'nt taken anything for 2 and a half years now except for methadone and the occasional codeine which I'm prescribed (but not for awhile)my case manger has told me that they will give me another chance to test but I'm really worried as I'm trying really hard to stay clean from anything else and I don't want something that I'm not even taking to ruin my chances at a better life, please help, I live in New Zealand. ## Fluoxetine isn't s...

How well does methadone work for chronic pain management? I went from 10 mg oxycodone then dropped down to 7.5 mg hydrocodone and my pain is totally out of control. I have no relief. I am out of options except methadone or Suboxone. Please help. ## I was taking 10 mg oxycodone 4 times a day. I was forced to go to PM for my pain and got prescribed 7.5 hydrocodone 3 times a day, had to agree to mbnb injections if I wanted my meds. All I need is my pain controlled to get some quality of life back so I'm thinking maybe I should try methadone if it would help me. I need an honest answer. ## I had back surgery (Removal of discs with fusions L4 thru S1), caught MRSA and had another 3 surgeries after that to clean my back out of infection, he nicked my spinal cord and I leaked out fluid, an...

I was tested a couple weeks ago by swab and it came back as having methadone in my system. I had been taking nightquil for a cold I was starting to get. Could it have come back false positive? ## I just liked it up and yes, it seems that some of the ingredients in Nyquil can cause a false positive on some tests for Amphetamines, Heroine, Methamphetamines, Morphine, Methadone and other opiates. They don't specifically state which ingredient it is, but the resource I use lists only the medications that have been scientifically/medically proven to register false positives for other substances. So, if you weren't taking Methadone, the Nyquil is probably your answer. Are there any questions or comments? ## I am on several Rx drugs plus I take weekly injections of B-12, folic acid I a...

is there such a thing as instant relief methadone capsules?? I have been on methadone for ten years, and i have never heard of this! ## Well, there is no such thing as an instant relief formulation of any medication, even injections require some amount of time to work, though it may be very brief. When it comes to oral pain medications, they are called immediate release, because they are designed to start releasing the relevant medication as soon as your stomach acid touches it, rather than taking the 15 to 20 minutes to dissolve that most pills do. Learn more Methadone details here. And when it comes to Methadone, no there isn't an IR formulation, the closest that's available would be the liquid or the injections. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Yes there is methadon...

I was on suboxone for 2 years. Had surgery on my foot and was prescribed oxycodone. After that ran out I took methadone until I could get to a new suboxone dr. She saw that I had methadone in my system and wouldnt give me the suboxone. I ended up with a drug overdose and was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. After 7 days they gave me Vivitrol, with sent me into severe withdrawals. They want me to get a Vivitrol shot in 5 days, however I think it will be too soon. Any thoughts?

how do i prepare these 54-142 tabs for iv vinegar ? ## It is not safe to use a medication for injection if it has not been specially made to be used that way. Tablets contain fillers and not all of them are meant to be broken down by the human body, they are normally just expelled in your waste. However, if you try to break down a tablet for injection, then you are placing these substances in your body in a way, in which, it cannot process them out. This creates the very real risk of blockages, which can result in stroke or embolism. Are there any questions or comments? ## Are you serious?!! This really makes me sick at my syomach ! If the s*** was meant to go in your veins, it would be in liquid form(Not the kind of liquid that you are cooking) in a computerized lock drawe in a nurses ...

I have been taking 120 mg of methadone for approximately 5 years. My husbands job transferred us from Florida to Louisiana where I found a pretty good pain doc. He is now running scared and wants to take me off of methadone. Methadone has given me a good quality of life; I am able to work and be a productive member of society. My doctor is unwilling or unable to assist me in finding a new doctor who will continue my meds. Oh yeah, I have been the route of blocks and injections and gotten little if any relief. I'm tired of being branded a drug seeker-I have years of medical records that back up my claims and verify the dosages that I've been on-what drug seekers have this kind of back up? I am looking for a Louisiana doctor, but am willing to travel (within reason of course). Ple...

I have been clean from methadone for almost 3 weeks now and I am still testing positive for methadone.... Any ideas why or how long this is gonna take? I am 5'6 and physically fit. I was injecting methadone pills heavy for 6 months or so and only about once a week for the past 3 months ## With long-term chronic use, it takes much longer for a drug to process out of your body. In addition, if you were injecting ones that are not supposed to be used that way, you also run the risk of creating blockages in your body, since some elements of tablets are not meant to be broken down by the human body and are normally just expelled in your regular waste. This could also be adding to it, since along with these substances your body cannot dissolve, there is also going to be some remnants of t...

My son has been prescribed this medication and since he has a history of drug abuse I'm worried and wondering if there is any way this medication can be formatted (crushed, etc) to a form that can be injected. Thank you in advance... ## In reply to if hydro's 30 ml can be injected crushed up yes, yes and I can't strive as an addictions therapist how often I see people become and are addicted! It is very serious and you should have him weanned off by a tapering system with methadone if nothing else! Good luck!!

As I understand Dilaudid-HP Injection is available as a sterile, aqueous solution in colorless ampules. Comes in 4 mg of hydromorphone, for injecting in vein or subcutaneous or intramuscle. I have chronic back pain and the only course for treatment is to live with the pain. Or find a pain medication that my liver can tolerate, without shortening my life. I am dying from liver disease and would like to check out without the severe pain. Currantly I take approx 40 Mg of methadone, which I hate. I must soak the pills then strain off the clear liquid (water) then throw away the carrier. I know out of 60 mgs I am probably getting about Otherwise if I take the entire pill. I get very nausuated. Can my Dr. Perscribe it and will I be able to locate it in a drug store??? Many thanks, Robert ## A...

Age 54/male, suffering with knee and hip pain. Someone advised me to try a calcium 1000 inj. with neurobion. Is it ok? Regards. ## I am a 48 year old man and suffer from back pain.

how long after injecting a 8mg pill of dilaudid will it show up in a urine drug screen ## Dilaudid contains the active ingredient Hydromorphone, which is a narcotic and like most other narcotic opiates, it is detectable on standard urine screens for approximately 4 days, after use.
