I have been on a Methadone Maintenance Program for about 4 months now. I've gained about 50 or so pounds since last June and I'm ready to begin a new and healthy lifestyle. I would appretiate any thoughts on this as I want to be as safe as possible.
Taking anything to loose weight is not healthy. Why not do it the best way possible, exercise, eat right and drink lots of water? I used to walk and hike every day, no big deal, and ate right and drank water constantly--size 6 and toned was the end result. Best thing, I felt the best I've ever felt in my life.
FDA has issued a Public Health Advisory cautioning practitioners about avoiding overdoses when they are prescribing methadone or managing patients ...
You don't even want to find that out. Just don't do drugs. Go to school and do something more interesting with the life God gave you.
My mom is taking 125 micrograms a day [morning] with 10 mg of methadone in the afternoon. On both prescriptions it says it has drug interactions with the other; my question is what exactly is the drug interaction? She does not have insurance so it is very hard to get these 2 docters working together.. thank our health care system!
making use of the SE such as google or yahoo to generate some ideas first if you would like to get the massive information,nonetheless if you would not want to put so much time,here http://www.healthinsurance-onlinetips.in fo/health-insurance-for-free.htm is a direct and useful resource for your questions.
I heard it was from Lexapro And Methadone. Im on Lexapro And take pain-killers for my back. My doctor said I should be fine, and I have been. I dont get how he died, was there other drugs as well in his system?
Oh I thought Pain-killers was methadone. I take vicodin, sometimes codeine and percocet. I thought they were all the same.
"Pain killers" and methadone are not the same. That is like saying "carbonated beverages" and Dr. Pepper are the same.
Besides, the amount of drugs in his system was not a prescribed dose, it was an overdose.
Methadone is a type of pain killer. Vicoden, codiene, percocet are all different type of pain killers.
I cannot find any interactions on these two drugs...
I have something.. well the two drugs are
elavil and darvocet
im trying to make this damn pain go away and i don't have anything stronger right now... im out of oxys and methadones .. also opium pods..
will these two make one another work better? or will it cancel out? make no difference?
come on, someone plzz answer im close to just taking both and hoping it helps.
sorry... im having major major back pain..
i was in a wreck awhile back and i didn't have money to see a dr, anymore so i went cold turkey on oxycontin awhile ago no more withdrawls..
but i had a couple methadones that help pain a lot..
but i have one darvocet and a whole bottle of elavil
it says for pain on the bottle..
oh when i had nothing for pain at all i made tea with pods... just 3 times in my life..
they helped but opium is so addictive so i only did it a couple times..
i need surgery but SSI still hasn't approved me yet.
ok, i took both i already took the darvocet and it wasn't touching the pain.. it just keeps hurting more and more.. so i took the elavil and hope that it makes it work better.
500mg of darvocet and 20mg of elavil..
it had no interactions it just dulled the pain a little..
so if someone reads this wondering about interactions.. there aren't any that i noticed.
but i do have a high tolerance..
You don't indicate what type of pain you are having. But elavil is an antidepressant. And darvocet is nothing compared to taking Oxycotin or Methadone. Are you experiencing drug withdrawal, pain. In the US opium pods are not ofter prescribed for medical reasons. I would strongly urge you to seek drug treatment depending on what country you live in. God Bless Reggier
Pharmacokinetic drug interactions and adverse consequences between ...
Pharmacokinetic drug interactions and adverse consequences between psychotropic medications and pharmacotherapy for the treatment of opioid dependence. Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse. 2011 Jan;37(1):1-11 Authors: Saber-Tehrani AS, Bruce RD, Altice FL Background: Psychiatric comorbidities among opioid-dependent patients are common. Many medications used to treat both conditions are metabolized through complimentary cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. When medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence is concurrently used with psychotropic medications, problematic pharmacokinetic drug interactions may occur. Methods: We reviewed relevant English language articles identified through the MedLine, Scopus, and Embase databases from 1950 to December 2009 using the specific generic names of medications and keywords such as pharmacokinetics and drug interactions with buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. Selected references from these articles were reviewed. Additionally, a review was conducted of abstracts and conference proceedings from national and international meetings from 1990 to 2009. A total of 60 studies were identified and reviewed. Results: Clinical case series and carefully controlled pharmacokinetic interaction studies have been conducted between methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone and some psychoactive medications. Important pharmacokinetic drug interactions have been demonstrated within each class of medications affecting either methadone and buprenorphine or psychoactive drugs. Few studies, however, have been conducted with naltrexone. Conclusions: Several interactions between methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone and psychoactive medications are described and may have important clinical consequences. To optimize care, clinicians must be alerted to these interactions. PMID: 21247284 [PubMed - in process]
