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.

Although there are many suggestions as to detoxing from methadone there is one thing they all agree on...It should be done slowly. Here is an exerpt from an article about detox...
The usual detox program for methadone requires that
the patient use it as a tapering dose for 21 to 30 days.
During induction, the doctor determines the right dose to
overcome withdrawal. Afterward, the dose you take
gradually becomes smaller, until you no longer need
the methadone. The medical and counseling staff in
your program can help you develop a plan for further
treatment if you need it, and will guide you through
the physical changes you experience during the
detox period.

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.

How much Methadone is equivalent to 30 mg of Hydrocodone? I mean as far as pain relief ---?

Obviously Methadone will not give a Vicodin buzz....


Thats realy hard for anyone to say even a doctor or a pharmacist. Good luck finding out. Im sure its different for each person. But just incase im wrong and someone who does have a answer to this please post and if you can show a source. Thx

Why is 40 mg Methadone being suddenly taken away from those of us who are perscribed it???

I just found out when I went to get my Methadone perscription filled today that the FDA sent out advisorys to all Doctors and Pharmacies prohibiting them from perscribing or selling 40 mg Methadone after Jan.1 2008. Only Detox/Rehab centers or hospitals will have access to this drug. I personally am on 50 mg per day for pain managment & have been for 7 yrs. The nurse at my Dr. office also told me that even though the 5 & 10 mg tablets were not affected, that if any Doctor is caught writing a large perscription of the 5 or 10 mg methadone tablets for a patient, they will be turned in to the DEA. She told me they did this because they've decided that 40 mg Methadone isn't considered to be for pain managment; it is for Opiate detoxification-uh...ok(?. What are others out there in the same situation doing about this? Also, can any Dr. (like my pain mng. Dr for instance) write out a script for Subutex/Bupranorphin or would I have to go to somthing like a 2wk. Detox center? PLEASE HELP!!!


Did they replace the Rx with something else?

they have an obligation to treat you unless you are discharged.
I hope they gave you an equivalent medication, kadian or avinza will do just as well. Are they going to give you something else for your pain.
Can you add an edit, to let us know what else they are doing for you? Thanks!
