How To Make Methadone

oval shaped pill ## Sorry, you have not provided enough information. This drug is available in both name brand and generic versions. There are many generic manufacturers and each one of them will make a pill that looks different. There are no rules saying that pills with the same ingredient have to look the same! The size, color, shape and imprint will all vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The only relevant regulations from the FDA state that they must have unique imprints for identification purposes, but these will even differ by manufacturer and strength of the med. In order to identify your pill for you and tell you what it is, you need to provide the complete imprint from the pill, all letters, numbers and/or symbols that may be on it, as well as the color and shape. Then I ca...

Wanted to say I just came out of precipitated withdrawal! What holy hell! I have been on methadone for 6 years taking 115 mlg daily & got myself down to 50 mlg for 2 weeks, waited more than 72 hours, then took 2mlg suboxone. I was fine. Not better, just not worse. Following my doc's orders, I took another 2mlg 90 mins later. Ok, then took another 2mlg after 90 min and oh my god. Almost instantly threw me into precipitated withdrawal! This was to say the least horrible ×1000. Don't want this to happen again but determined to switch to subs. When can I try again without going through hell?! Please help! ## Unfortunately there is really no specific time frame as everyone is different. The best way to tell when your body is ready is to make sure you are in full blown withdr...

I am 60 yrs old have been in methadone clinic but have buisness trips where I'm gone 3-5 days or 2 weeks to China Need perscription for methadone while away. Any help? ## Have you tried asking them if they can make any suggestions on a doctor you could see? Methadone can be prescribed for home use, in some states, though I am not sure what the laws are in NJ. Even doing a search for clinics there doesn't really help, because even if they can, we have no way of knowing if they will prescribe it that way. Have you spoken to a regular doctor about it?

Trying to find doctors near Devon and Western in N Chicago that can prescribe methadone for pain treatment. ## Any doctor can prescribe it for pain, however, you may run into problems if you're calling new doctors and asking if they'll prescribe it, since most doctors will consider that to be drug seeking behavior. You need to make sure you get an appointment and get in the door first, then discuss your options with them. Learn more Methadone details here. And if you're a chronic pain patient that requires regular treatment, then a regular general practitioner will not be able to provide you with treatment. Under the new laws, you will have to enter pain management and be treated by a physician that has been specially trained in pain control. Does anyone have a place they ca...

I've been on methadone 15yrs. I need to get off. I'm in pain management for a back injury and the methadone is blocking my percocet. How can I get off methadone? ## I am on both Methadone and oxycodone for pain. As long as you take your oxycodone about 45 minutes before your dose of Methadone and eat about a half an hour after after you take your Methadone, your medication will work as it is supposed to. Follow the same pattern if you take several doses of both medications a day, like I do. Just always make sure you take the oxycodone first, because it sets the tone for the day. I alternate between both and it works amazing. Good luck.

I was asking if they make a 7.5 mg generic methadone pill? It is a white round pill with no markings except for a score line in the middle on one side ## Hi lois, Here in the U.S. the lowest I've seen online are only 5 and 10mg generic doses. I can argue though that there is an article on a study done here in the states, where cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive methadone 7.5 mg orally every 12 hours for 4 weeks. So I do believe it is available, but maybe only prescribed under specific circumstances. I could be wrong, but as of yet I have not come across anything stating otherwise. Did you order your pill from overseas? ## IN THE U.S there is no such thing as a 7.5 methadone tablet, only 5mg and 10mg, and of course the 40mg disk, the clinic's give out, ive been on ...

I've been on methadone liquid now for roughly 3 years, though 60 is the highest ive ever taken, 10 being lowest and it amazes me how strong and powerful this stuff is. I swear i dropped down to 20 and was ready to switch over to subutex, but right at the last minute i bottled it despite my doctor really saying do it, best move you will ever make, but my reasons were i really was so depressed, sweating profoundly, no sleep.

im looking for a doctor that priscribes methadone. i dont want to go the clinics. suboxone does not work for me and i really want to get off of oxycodone. my boyfriend has been clean for 4 months now. and from my car accident and i also have nerve damage, it makes it harder for me to get off, because im in so much pain. i tryed many times to stop, but i cant handle the pain. i lost everyone i loved and i dont want to lose my boyfriend to. ## I am very sorry, but if you are looking for something outside of the setting of a clinic, there is really no way to know what doctor would be willing to prescribe it. When it comes to addiction treatment, most doctors will not provide such treatment outside of a clinic, because they do have to follow certain laws and treatment protocols, in order to...

I REALLY need to know how much sugar is in 120mgs of the red (cherry) liquid methadone? ## Hello, John! How are you? Who manufactures it? I need more information, in order to answer your question. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is it from a clinic or pharmacy? ## The 120mg of red (cherry) liquid I get is from my clinic. The maker is Malinkrodt, and I also found out that instead of sugar it has sucralose.

I have to take 80 milligrams of methadone a day it makes me drowsy and I Drive a lot how can i neutralize the drowsy effect or can i at all ## Hello, JB! How are you? You really can't. How long have you been on it? Side effects, such as this, usually wear off and go away, after about 4 to 5 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## They say that just a mouthful of wine and hour before can help, i know that sounds crazy but also the best way ive found to stop the effects is simply to take half a valium the night before, this causes the liver to burn off the methadone much faster...

Is it OK to take these together not at same time. I have been prescribed methadone for my pain for several years but I have needed Valium for my spasms and I also have anxiety fairly bad plus it calms my brain down at night so I can relax and sleep and that makes me feel better anyway I have discussed this with my primary dr. And my pain dr. And they both don't really want me taking it with my pain medication. Does anybody else have this problem. Because my life would truly benefit from taking them. Thanks in advance for any input ## The main issue is due to the aggravation of the side effects, taking them together can cause depression of the central nervous system, which could cause more sedation, drowsiness, and dizziness than usual. In some cases, it could result in your blood pr...

My Dr put me on 10mg methadone one. 6× a day and oxycodone 30mg 4× a day for chronic pain the methadone doesn't help my pain a bit and takes away the little relief I get for a couple hours from the oxycodone.I told her the methadone doesn't help my pain a bit but she doesn't believe me. ## Hello, Smokedawg! How are you? I'm sorry, but I can't provide you with any information just based on the shape of the pill. Can you please post back with the markings that are on it? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I am wanting to go to India for 3 week. I am currently taking methadone , been dependent on Mathadone for 3 year now. Will I be able to take my medication with me to India? ## Hi Leon, Based on my research, prescription drugs are said to be exempt from the standard TSA (airport security) rules. However it's possible that the rules may be somewhat different when traveling abroad. As long as you declare them at the security checkpoint, you should be fine. I'm sure the TSA has to make exceptions all the time for various medical necessities; but I would just recommend visiting the TSA website for more details on what they do and do not allow, if you need more specific details on the matter. I hope this helps!
