Question by Mark: What medication ls affective with methadone?

Best answer:

Answer by Kidx
The only thing to worry about while taking methadone are taking other medications that react badly with the methadone, such as other pain pills, or “downers,” so to speak. I know that Xanax is especially dangerous, because it can stop someone’s heart if they are taking methadone along with it. The doctor or treatment center that prescribes the methadone should be able to tell you what you can and cannot take while on a methadone regiment. Anti-depressants and ADD/ADHD medication should be fine.    Read more...

Answer by J Miller
That is NOT good at all. I hope you read this in time. You most likely overdosed on methadone and it can be very serious. Methadone is not a drug you want to mess with unless it’s prescribed by a knowledgable doctor. Methadone has a very long half life, meaning that it stays active in your system long after the effects have worn off. Because of that it is possible to die from a methadone overdose many hours after you take it. The half life is about 24-36 hours so you won’t be on the clear until then.    Read more...
