I was on methadone for over a year it took months to lower my dose down to 2 mlgs when I decided to walk away it has been 2 weeks and I still can't sleep and I still have discomfort at work so believe me its very very tough to quit....don't start go to a recovery program I wish I had. ..

Wow I've been there and I totally know! Yeah Xanax, ativan(which they finally prescribed to me 2mg as needed no more than 3x per day which I'm off now and only take zoloft) colonapin and Valium are all benzoa and are a miracle drug for those of us who were bed riddin and couldn't stand sit sleep stay awake or anything. Those of us jaw clenching teeth grinding sweating heart racing and lost weight due to severe anxiety panic disorder .... yes these drugs are good for you if u have it this bad.

Lee, I understand your point about methadone and opiates but you over simplifying things. It's not as if there are only two options, suffer or get addicted. For those in real pain, you cannot say it's just "some discomfort", to blow off instead of using it responsibly. I'd like to be off all the opiates but when I am, my pain level shoots thru the roof and I become an invalid. No thanks sir, not thanks.

The hydros will work...jyst dont take them at same time as methadone. Take them a couple hours before at least so u can feel them..methadone blocks it so if u take hydros after the doans try to wait at least 6 hours but a day is best

I have switched from methadone to suboxone. That was a month ago. I am still testing positive for methadone. It can be up to 45 to 90 days depending on how long you were taking it.

I just wanted to say and reiterate that everybody is different so you never know what affects who how so what I'm basically saying is in my experience I am able to take 48 milligrams of Suboxone one day and the next day 8 hours into that day I can take 2 30 milligram oxycodone pills and get the full effect of the 60mgs, my question is how do I differ so drastically with the typical loa of suboxoe. I get max 12 hrs out of 24+ mgs suboxone. And have even on occasion dose 24 mgs at 7 am and
60 mgs oxycodone at 3 pm and felt normal rush of euphoria and stayed lit for the normal 2-4 he's max I get out of oxy...even at my normal dose of 120mgs. Basically what are possible reasons for this. I do have a fast metabolism but seems like sub's don't hold me for any longer than 12 he's max and full ags I'll get 3-5 hrs max on a good day.

Actually methadone is a synthetic opiate or opioid. It a morphine derived synthetic drug. It was developed to be a long lasting combatant for herion addicts as well as other drugs that one's body has developed a dependency for. Methadone can take up to two week to pass through ur system and longer depending on how large of a dose you've been taking and how long you've been taking that dose for. So if you if u just took some for the first time or it has been a while since u took them you should be clean in two weeks or less.

If you have not been taking 'done' for a very long time you SHOULD do everything you can to get off of it. It leads to alot of pain and misery. Hydro is a good drug for pain, but you have to be careful about the APAP - it will kill you.
Good luck and May God bless.

It's all about bioavailability and half-life of the drug. Methadone can range, but typically has a bioavailability between 60-90%. Thus means that if you take 10mg, only 6-9mg are actually converted by your body into something useful (what they test for). Then, the half life means that half the metabolized medicine will be out of your system. So, say it's half-life is 24 hours, that means every 24 hours (approximately), half of what was taken is eliminated from the body (assuming 90% bioavailability).

Example: 10mg orally --> ~9mg bioavailable --> after 24 hours, half is left (~4.5mg) --> after the second 24 hours, you're left with approximately 2.25mg......and so on.

Of course, both bioavailability and half life are dependent on the person and their metabolism, sensitivity to the drug, length of use (methadone builds up reserves in fat cells for long term users).....

Hope this helps!

I got given methadone 16 years ago for pain management. Its one drug I would never take again. I lost 16years of my life to it. I was at 80 mill gram a day two ten mil gram four times a day. About two months ago I started weining myself off it. I'm now finally free of it. Sunday was my last time. Every three days I dropped down the dosage. Now I'm four days without. I'm not sick. I feel better then ever. This is not for every person. Most that have taken it as long as I did should never do this on their own as you could go into seizers. And it can kill you. Rehabs not for me so I chose to do this at home. The last two months have been the worst months of my life. Unless you want a life of pain stay away from this. Nothing is worth the use of this drug. The downfall is drastic. I hope this helps

Methadone cancels out any other opiate. It's silly to take anything else while on methadone, as it's just a waste!
