what is the difference between the round and the rectangle 10 mg methadone pills? ## Probably just the manufactured, however, I can't really give you any specific details, without knowing the markings on the tablets. Can you please post back with more information? ## I found out through a pharmacist that, it's just the manufacturer that makes them...there is no difference in the pills or dosage. I have reason to not believe this. Because I notice a drastic difference when I take the 10mg bars then when I take the 10mg circles...The bars seem to work a LOT better. But, like I said they claim it's just the manufacturer that makes them. So....who knows.. ## Margarete, there can be differences in generic medications. Under federal law, in the U.S., they are allowed to differ fro...

I have been on the 10 mgs roxane methadones, 70 mgs daily, for 6 yrs for pain management. I've tried the mallinckrodt but they didn't work as well on me, and several others I know taking methadones for pain. My pharmacy and all the local pharmacies have now quit carrying roxanes and just have the malli's and Acends. I've heard terrible things about the Acends like withdrawals and not working at all. Ive done a lot of research and learned The Roxane Methadones have a distinct taste and disolve super fast but the Malli's are harder to disolve and even though they have the same ingredients they have sand in its inactive ingredient, roxanes don't. The acends seem to have the exact same product insert as the roxane's so I can't determine if they're truely ...

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. I tried taking suboxone but it did not really work for me, not sure if I did anything wrong. I used to go to the methadone clinic two years ago, which did help me with my addiction.

Will 10 mg methadone work to relieve bad toothache pain? ## Hello, Eddie! How are you? It is an opiate analgesic, so it can alleviate pain just like the other opiates that are available. The FDA classifies this 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. However, you shouldn't take it, unless your doctor has prescribed it for you, due to the danger of overdose if you aren't opiate tolerant and it's great addictive potential. Is there anything else I can help with? ## All methadone should be burned 3 times and buried. It's addictive and does nothing for pain. No more methadone should ever be produced

Hello everyone who is one methadone and wants to get off. I was on methadone for 6 years....I wanted to get off so I went to a rehab and did a 30 day suboxone detox getting down to 1 mg for the last 3 days. After 2 days off suboxone I started to get sick once again and decided to get back on methadone. That lasted for about a year before I had finally had enough. I did research and did a 16 day detox from 108 mg to 0 with minor side effects compared to the hell I know methadone withdrawal can be. This is what I did and it worked for me. I can't believe drs aren't talking of the benefits of DXM. Every day before dosing I took 100 mg of Dxm, and drank a few cups of grapefruit juice, the juice increases the effects of the methadone because it inhibits the enzyme that metabolites it...

How are you? What dose of Methadone were you taking? I can't really answer your question without knowing this additional detail. It depends on that and the severity of your pain. Are the new medications working for you? The FDA classifies these as narcotic analgesics, so they have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I'm sorry I was then actuallyon 15 mg of methadone the day I got myself down to that much because I didn't like taking it.but now my pain was not adequately controlled so ...

Is taking 4methadone 10mgs the same as a 40mg wafer? It doesn't seem to last as long or as strong. ## If they are regular release, then they should work the same. However, medications can be funny, so that might not be true of Methadone. Have you checked with your doctor? There may be something else affecting it that I am not aware of…does anyone else know more? ## Depending on the generic. They can legally have 10 to 15% less methadone in them.

I'm on 108 mgs of methadone and 3mg's a day of klonapin. I want to start to take addium but don't know if they will mix without any side affects. ## From what I could gather, Addium reportedly contains the following set of ingredients: Caffeine GABA Bacopa Monnieri Alpha GPC L-Theanine Phosphatidylserine L-Tyrosine Vinpocetine Huperzine A According to umm.edu, there ARE drug interactions between Caffeine and Klonopin, stating that Caffeine may inhibit the effects of Klonopin, causing it to not work as well. They also go on to note that taking Klonopin with Methadone can result in serious side effects, such as dizziness, confusion, lack of coordination, excessive tiredness, etc. Outside of that, Phosphatidylserine + L-Tyrosine do not list any interactions with Methadone or Kl...

I have taken opiates lately, and as an addict it is hard not to go for whatever you can get your hands on to make the withdrawals go away. I had a setback and took 150 mg vyvanse, and of course got the energy I was wanting, but now I can not get to sleep. When I lay down I am wide awake, which I'm assuming is from the vyvanse, but I can feel my withdrawal symptoms from the opiates. I have 10 mg of methadone to help me but I'm afraid to take it with the vyvanse. Can I take them together? Will it take away my withdrawal symptoms will either one cancel the other out? With the vyvanse feeling go away? ## I am taking 100mg of methadone and 70 MG of Vyvanse will taking the two together work like they are suppose to you get the relaxed feeling from the methadone but also be a little mo...

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.

I am currently on 10 mg of methadone 16 times a day. I have to have something for my backpain but cannot deal with the side effects of methadone anymore. What would be a replacement drug that would be as effective? ## Hi Sara, Sorry to hear that your pain medication isn't working as well as you'd like it to. Some of these side effects can be pretty horrible, so I don't blame anyone for trying to find an alternative. A few suggestions I can give you for other prescription pain medications include: Demerol, Morphine, Vicodin (extended release), Percocet, Dilaudid, Opana, Oxycodone, and Fentanyl. Your doctor would have a better clue as to which one of these would best replace the drug you're currently on, but honestly, there's no way of telling ahead of time how you...

I've been on 150mg methadone for the last 10 yrs or so. NOW bc of new federal REGS, they have me on 30 mg methadone per day plus two 10mg oxymoron for breakthrough pain. Can someone suggest a medicine that might work around the clock and meet federal mme limits? Thank you so much... In pain in Alabama.... HELP IS APPRECIATED! ## Hello, Ferrell! How are you? One possible option you could discuss with your doctor is the Fentanyl patch, they are time released and usually last from 48 to 71 hours, it is an opiate that is over 80 times stronger than Morphine. The FDA classifies it as 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 on 6 mg of suboxone and have been dosing for five years.. I have come across some 10 mg methadone tablets and am wondering if I could take some of the done tabs to get a high? But am concerned about any problem. That may occur even if I was only to take the tabs as a one off, also if I was to take them How long would I have to wait to take my suboxone dose as i Am aware of instant withdrawals.. Just not sure if it applies after taking the one dose of done tabs?? And how many tabs would I need to get a high after not taking sub dose for 24 hrs? ## Dear George, I would not mix the 2. If u want 2 take the methadone , stop the subs and wait until u r withdrawing, then take the methadone. That will work. ## NO It will send you into withdrawals. ## My fiancé is quitting percocets an...

i wanted to know if iam already methadone is it safe to take celexa? ## It is actually recommended that combining the two be avoided and an alternative medication be used in replace of the Celexa, if someone is already on Methadone. Combining the two of them increases the risk of QT prolongation, cardiac arrhythmias and a couple of other health risks. Did your doctor prescribe both? ## I'm on 60mg of methadone for the past year. I started taking celexa for the past 5 months. It works wonders for me. Always tell your Dr what you're on. My Dr knows what I'm on and he says its ok to take.
