Methadone will make you nod off, if they give you too much (giving the patient a "high"). Methadone will make you feel "normal" again if you have been addicted to opiates from pain killers or heroin. More and more people each day are taking methadone because they are trying to come off of pain medications with opiates. Methadone is also prescribed for pain too; most people don't know that. It makes you feel either "normal" (depending on addiction), or "high" if the person purchased the drug off of the street. They also might have a doctor giving too much, and would need to cut back to avoid being addicted to the methadone. If this happens the patient will try to get the doctor to increase the milligrams, although sometimes it is necessary to increase the milligrams if being treated for an opiate addiction.
Stop using Methadone.
Please someone tell me. I just started lithium, but have been on methadone for years.
Refrain from using drugs and methadone.
Your an advocate for methadone use. I don't know of any positive medicinal methadone use so what do you advocate. Why not just say your a drug addict, that is what a user is called. That is what your worried about telling him, isn't it. Why not be your own best advocate and get some help to get off methadone and stay clean so you can have a TRUE friendship with this fellow. ==================================================== It all depends why your using it. Most have good reasons for using it. Like Fibromyalgia, Lupus, chronic pain, or using it to keep the withdrawals at bay from using heroin or morphine. Yes, methadone is addictive no matter what way you use it. If you feel the need to tell him because the relationship is changing into something more, Just be honest and explain to him why you are using it.
Only a doctor or registed personal at the methadone clinic can tell you what will help with methadone withdrawel
tell a freind that your taking methadone because methadone is all about the peer pressure. Your relative or freind will take you to a treatment center
Yes, methadone levels can be determined by laboratories upon request.
if it feels like they are using you, they are...trust your gut!
they can't tell. the only way you can measure the levels of methadone currently flowing through your system would be a blood test. they just make sure that you're taking your methadone - not how much.
Yes, if you do not have a prescription for methadone and get caught with it, you can receive jail time.
No. A clinic will truy and tell u that the methadone will block the effecfs, but this is also not true.
Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes. I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.
