Methadone: Methadone Facts

methadone - Important information about methadone uses in drug rehabs and drug addiction detox.

Am I going to withdrawal from methadone if i have only taken it for 7 days?
I have been using heroin off and on for 2 years but recently i have been using regularly for about the last 4 months. I tried to quit cold turkey from heroin a couple weeks ago but with my mind state at that time i could not get through it. 7 days ago I started a 21 day methadone treatment but the more i have researched I have found that methadone is almost as bad. I do not want to be on anything or just substitute heroin for methadone. I told the doctor that i wanted to stop and to detox me off. I started at 60 mg and every 2 days went down 5 mg. So today I was supposed to be taking 45 mg of methadone. After talking with the doctor I decided to rapidly detox by taking 20 mg today instead of 45mg and i am taking 10 mg tomorrow then i will be off. My question is am I going to have as bad of withdrawals as heroin or will i even withdraw at all because It has been 7 days so the heroin is out of my system and I have only taken 7 days of methadone so I don't think I can become dependent that fast on methadone. If someone could answer my question that would be great and if I am in for a horrible withdrawal like from heroin does anyone have any tips?I am sorry if you got the wrong impression from what I said. I know methadone helps a lot of people to stay clean and to be able to go to work and live without using or hurting. In that scence i have nothing against methadone. As far as what I am trying to accomplish is to not be on any substance what so ever. Methadone though may help a lot of people is not good for your health and there are many restrictions that go along with it. Also the longer one is on methadone the more dependant one gets and will be harder to get off in the long run. I have been told by all the people in the clinic as well as the doctor that no matter what i am going to withdrawal either at the end or if i stop now. I would rather get it over with now before my semester of school starts and get on with my life.

40mg of methadone earlier today...too much?
Hi, earlier today I took 40mg of methadone. I snorted 20mg, and consumed the other 20 mg immediately afterward, so those didn't kick in until 2 hours later. That was all at 2pm today, and it is now 12 30. The thing is, I'm kinda freaked out now. My breathing is a little bit more shallow than what I'm used to when I take opiates opoids. But I still feel clear headed, and I can walk and talk normally. My pulse is still normal. But I still nod off when I'm just laying down. I've taken 20mg a day for the past two days. I normally do about 50mg of oxycodone a week. I weigh 150lbs, I'm 5'7, and 20 years old. Do you think this was too much? Am I gonna be ok?I know I will be fine If I stay up, but I'm really tired and want to go to bed, but I'm kinda scared to go to sleep.I also smoked a joint around 7 30pm.Sorry, I meant I usually take 50mg of oxycodone in a month, usually all in one day.

I need a QUICK answer. Does Marijuana help Methadone withdrawal symptoms?
My sister is addicted to meth, but goes to the clinic. She missed it today and yesterday and wants me to give her money for meth and she said she's going to rehab soon. I haven't answered her back, but I refuse to give her any money for more meth. I'd give her weed though if that could help her. She said she is throwing up and that she feels really bad. I don't mess with any other drugs so I'm not sure if a gram of weed could help her until she gets to the clinic tomorrow morning.Nothing wrong with weed. There is a lot wrong with methadone. So if trading meth for weed helps her then that would be the best option. I'm not getting into the right and wrong of marijuana, but it's better than meth any day.And she wants $60 and there's no way I would give her that much. I refuse to give her any money to buy meth.

Help with fathers Methadone Withdrawl...?
My father in law has had a UTI, and has been on methadone for years for his pain. The doctors are slowly reducing his Methadone. He has gone from 50, to 30mg daily this week. He is staying at our house so we can monitor him. When he went to the doctors on Monday his B P was 140 90. Now his blood pressure is 140 100 and 130 99 the last 2 times we checked. He is flushed and getting cold sweats. He is in his 50's. He has been drinking lots of water to help flush out his infection. What can we do to help this process and make him feel better? Thanks
