Will Methadone show up on a 5 panel drug test under opiates?

Because the court used a quick 5 panel drug test that you could pick up at any drug store. I have not been using but i do take methadone so i stay clean. Could that have ben why it came up that i had opiotes in my system?


not unless they have a panel for methadone

usually (small tests) they test for a few opiates like hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine...heroin and codeine would test positive under morphine.....

How hard will it be to ween off of 15ms's a day of methadone(5 mg's 3 times a day)?



Go to your neighborhood pharmacy and ask the pharmacist this same question while you are looking in his eyes.

My brother is about 30 years old, he is addict to Ritalin (6 per day) and methadone (5 per day) what to do?

His life has been really destroyed, and so many specialist have been visited by him. I do not know the effects of Ritalin, but I heard that it is so dangerous. Please help me


First, read up about these two medication at these webpages:

Ritalin
http://www.nida.nih.gov/Infofacts/Ritali n.html

Methadone
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi nfo/medmaster/a682134.html

He should talk with his physician about ways to lessen his dependence on these medications; but he has to want to do something about it himself. That's where it has to begin.

For now, what you can do is to give your brother all the loving support he needs, especially if he's living with medical conditions which require him to take these medications. Do not get on his case or nag him about his use of these drugs. That will not help him at all.

What are the results of taking 4 or 5 pills of methadone to get high? (The bad side effects)?

I want to tell my girlfriend some honest facts about it so I can get her to stop


It depends on several factors but Methadone is not one of the drugs you can play around with and survive for very long. peoples tolerance plays a role as does whether or ot the frug is mixed with anything. Methadone and benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonipin, etc.) is extremely dangerous as is methadone and alcohol. The big issue with methadone that makes it so much more dangerous than other pills when abused is its long half life. It stays in your system long after the effects have worn off so when you take more you are poisoning yourself if you don't know what your doing. Methadone is a wonderful medication when used properly for those suffering from addiction or in chronic pain but taken without a doctors supervision it can be deadly. Here is a safety page you can read that will give you things to watch for in cases of overdose. There is other info about methadone there also.

would taking a 10mg methadone pill and cutting it in half make it a 5 mg pill?

ok, i was thinking about taking a 10 mg methadone pill and cutting it in half and consuming only one half of it. Does this mean that i would only be consuming 5 mg? or how does this work?


You got the right idea. If I only needed 5 mg, that is what I would do assuming that it isn't being done recreationally. Opiates are too dangerous to the cardiovascular for me to mess with unnecessarily.

  • (opiates) Methadone Taper- scared of WD - Bluelight

    I didn't know this forum was for quiters?? haha jk, yea that does seem a bit excessive to tell the truth! U really only need to take the methadone for 4-5 days which is how long it normally takes to withdrawl. I'de take a steady dose of methadone for about 5 days then just stop, methadone takes a lot longer than those 5 days to actually integrate into ur system to where u are going to go into withdrawls from it. Just do that 10mg's for 5 days, ull b fine. This is how I usually do it, I will stop doing Heroin or Oxy and take about 60mg of methadone a day for about 5 days and then stop after this and I am done with withdrawls. It has worked perfectly fine for me when I have done it, and I have done it about 5 or 6 times and have never have any problems with it.
