I seen the info above about any Methadone Doctors that will prescribe it in pill form in the Greenville NC area. I am currently paying 300 a month at the clinic and I am trying to start detoxing off as well. I am on 70mg. I been on it going on 3 yrs in December and I just would really like to have the pills and pay less money, not have to go to the clinic each day, and detox slowly with a private Dr help. If anyone knows if there are any Dr in this area let me know please Thanks ## Under current U.S. law, it is illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for addiction treatment, maintenance, or detox. That is only legally permitted to be done, by those specially trained in its use, in a clinical setting. Private practice doctors are only allowed to prescribe it for pain, and r...

I am om methadone and I have gained 30 pounds since I started it why is it doing this to me. I eat healthy everyday. is there anything that can counter act the weight gain ## Methadone is a narcotic opiate, so in essence you need to think of it as a downer and that applies to every area of your body, including your metabolism. Thus, the same healthy foods and the same amount of calories that you used to eat may be too much for your body while you're on it. So, you may need to lower your daily calorie and fat intake, as well as increase your amount of exercise. Learn more Methadone details here. How much do you eat in a day?

I have a very high tolerance on Oxycodone 30mg, I'm taking up to 28 a day (7 of them 4 times a day). I really want to get off of them or at least lower my tolerance WAY down.

new to area need methadone location ## I'm sorry, but you didn't post your location and without knowing that, all we can do is guess. Have you tried contacting a local hospital? They usually keep the names and phone numbers for nearby clinics, so they can provide the information to anyone in need. You may also want to consider looking into treatment with Suboxone, since rather than requiring a lifetime maintenance dose, it has enabled many people to become completely drug free.

I have been taking methadone for 10 days starting at 30 and ending at 60. I don't want to have to get up at 5am and drive 35min for the rest of my life, so I'd like to get back on subutex. Can anyone tell me when I can take it? I have not taken methadone for 2 days now. ## Hello, Cory! How are you? You need to be in full withdrawal, before taking Subutex, otherwise it may throw you into dangerous precipitated withdrawals. Thus, there's no precise time frame that can be given, because it may vary from person to person. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate that is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Did your doctor provid...

I successfully weaned myself off of a 8 year opioid addiction. The last drug I was on was Methadone 30mg a day for about a year but I took every medication for pain at one point or another. Overdosing 3 in the process. I had major spine surgery in October 2016 to straighten my spine and fused 6 discs. I went from 30 mg a day to 10mg very fast, stayed there a month or so then I went to 5mg/day. Stayed there for a few weeks and went to 2.5mg (My PM Dr. gave me a prescription for 5mg tabs that are scored). A few weeks later I was down to 1.25mg. I did that for 2 weeks then I quit one night. No withdrawals! I can feel every screw in my back but I don't care because I am free of addiction.

My father was a chronic pain patient with a spinal tumor who was moved off of Oxycontin and Dilaudid to methadone. Unfortunately, after a long, log battle, he became completely paralyzed and the tumor was in the process of killing him. He asked to be terminally sedated. The doctors put him on a morphine drip, but even after they quadrupled his dose, he was still in pain and awake. Eventually, they got to 4000mg a DAY of IV morphine, and it was ineffective. We did our research, and it showed there is NO conversion rate for methadone to morphine equivalents as there is with every other opioid. In other words, just to duplicate the 30-40mg a day of morphine he was taking would have required anywhere from 240-3000mgs of morphine - forget actually sedating him. They went to something like 40...

Ive been on 160mg of methadone for 2 years but i cant Feel it at all, if i switch to subutex will i feel Them? ## @drew, According to The National Alliance of Advocates for Buprenorphine Treatment (naabt.org), it is recommended that patients slowly reduce their Methadone dosage down to 30mgs for a period of at least a week, BEFORE attempting to discontinue it completely - AND THEN waiting at least 36 hours before starting Buprenorphine. They also go on to emphasize that patients "MUST" be in a mild to moderate state of withdrawal before taking their first dose of Buprenorphine. That said, I would just encourage you to follow these protocols down to the 'T' as well as asking your doctor for their opinion in case minor adjustments need to be made to fit your specific situa...

I take 160mg if methadone I am tapering from 190mg and I feel awful by end if the day. Is there any OTC meds that can make it last longer?? I heard grapefruit juice but had no luck ## Hello, Crowe! How are you? I am sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you consulted your doctor about it? Jumping down 30mgs might just be too big of a drop for your body to handle and you may need to go a little slower. However, Methadone is notoriously hard to get off of, so it is likely that may always experience some withdrawal effects. 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. ## Dear Crowe, I was on 110mg of methadone and decided it was time 4 me 2 taper down. ...

On 60mg. of methadone. Want to due a taper of 5mg. per day til at 30mg. Stop for two days, Then start Suboxone 8mg per day for two weeks then discontinue. Does this sound doable? ## Hello, Jencruise1! How are you? That could be too rapid of a taper for the Methadone, according to the FDA, it is highly addictive and tends to cause severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, waiting 2 days to take the Suboxone could be too long or too short of a time period to start it. You need to be in full withdrawal, which for some people could be 12 hours, or it may take several days. Taking it too soon could cause you to go into precipitated withdrawals, which can be very dangerous and, if you go into severe withdrawals sooner, there'd be no point in waiting longer to take it. 2 weeks...

I’ve been on methadone for over 20 years. I do not take anything else except what my Dr gives me for high BP and trazodone for sleep. Why am I so weak and tired all the time? Is it the methadone or something else? ## Hello, Calu! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're having. What are your usual BP levels? Have you ever checked it at home, at the time when you feel the worst? What blood pressure medications are you taking? The reason I am asking these questions is because the symptoms you've described could be side effects of some medications, or symptoms of low blood pressure, so more information is needed in order to help you. Can you please post back with more details? Thanks! ## My blood pressure stays at about 160/95. I take benazepril 30 mg and aml...

Hey everybody. This is my first time here, so please excuse me for just butting in. I just started methadone on Tuesday. Trying to get my life back. Anyway, just wondering what to expect. Some moments I feel great, then a little while later I feel as if a car dropped on me. I started at 30 mgs the first day..they up it by ten each day, so I'm at 50 today where I will stay for at least a week. So is there anything I can do to help me thru the shaky bits? Any info would be appreciated . Thanks! ## No worries, jump right in, that's what our site is here for! :-) It can take some time to adjust to being on the Metahdone, rather than whatever drug you were abusing. The dosage doesn't always match up quite exactly, so you may still experience some withdrawal symptoms, which are pr...

30 mg methadone per 24 hours for pain. Pain is being treated with a new procedure. I have not taken anyethedone for 15 hours. What should I do? I don't feel any terrible discomfort as of yet. ## Hello, Don! How are you? Did you end up experiencing any withdrawal symptoms? Methadone is pretty notorious for causing them and it can do so for a long period of time, which is why many people who use it for addiction treatment end up on a lifetime maintenance dose. ## Hi--Thanks for tthe return mail. Yes!! After 24 hrs it was too much. I started methadone at 45 mg/ day-- now I'm used to 25 to 30. My plan is to cut down SLOWLY for as long as it takes. Years if necessary. That stuff is brutal ! By the way-- Did you know it was invented by Nazis in 1936? Leave it to nazis to make the most...

I am 65 y/o male who has been on Rx opiates several years. I cheated when the Rx arrived early in the mail and had extra tablets. When taking codeine sulphate and long acting morphine the pills were shipped together. When the codeine was switched to Norco the meds were mailed separately. The VA is where I receive health care. The Norco was always sent out on day 31 taking up to 10 days to arrive even on 28 day & 30 months. The morphine was always overnighted and arrive on time. The time gap between shipments left me taking excessive amounts of one to cover for the other and visa-versa. At the end I would 30mg Norco QTH when out of morphine. I would crush 6, 30mg morphine tablets daily while out of the Norco. Of course I found myself without either drug for up to a week at a time goi...
