(Newest replies first)

MY HUSBAND HAS BLADDER CANCER AND WAS PRESCRIBED 20 MG OF METHADONE EVERY MORNING. HE WAS ALSO GIVEN MORPHIN SULFATE 60 MGS TWICE A DAY. HOW SHOULD THESE MEDICINES BE TAKEN?

Methadone dont cancel anything out. Some claim this because methadone is so much more powerful that lesser drugs cant be felt while one uses methadone.Looks like you would have to ask yourself why a doc would give breakthrough meds if methadone was going to cancel it out.Methadone is also stronger than morphine and yes the post put up is out of line because these drugs are not prescribed together in the fashion that was posted.However yes instant release morphine can be used as breakthrough with methadone.

First of all methadone is not a blocker. People mistake it for suboxone because they are both used in opiate withdraw treatment. They first made methadone in world war II...when China cut Germany off from poppy trade. Hitler had his science goons make somthing to substitute opiate pain killers and Bam methadone is born. First used as a pain killer for many years...then someone found out about its overwhelming affect on the brain. They found when a subject would take between 90mg and 200mg their opiate receptors in there brain would clog up with the methadone thus not allowing AS MANY OPIATE in. But only in a high dose. The reason they still use it fore pain is because it stays attached to your brain receptors for around three days thus making it a great long term pain reliever. When taken in a small dose it will actually compliment the morphine and help it attach to the receptors and stay there longer.

Debra, i dont know why his dr. prescribed both Methadone and Morphine. The Methadone is known to block or cancel out the effects of the Morphine.
