Taking Methadone Off the Market?
Question by ?BINK?: Taking Methadone off the market?
My sister takes the 40 mg of Methadone for Pain management but she heard today that they will no longer allow the 40 mg tablets to be given as Pain management (due to DEA rules). Does anyone know if the means that Methadone will no longer be used as Pain management or can she still get it but in a different strength tablets? Who should she contact about this? Her doctor or pharmacist? Thanks!!

She should still be able to get methadone from her doctor, he/she may just simply need to change the tablet strength. but before she gets stressed out take the time to go the manufacturer’s website for the pills and see if it is actually being changed. they should have it posted on the site. also she can look at the fda or dea’s website to verify the information. her pharmacist can verify that a change has been made but to change the prescription in anyway she needs to speak with her doc

Is It Possible to Use Methadone Without Getting Addicted?
Question by Not Paul: Is it possible to use methadone without getting addicted?
My friend claims that if you use methadone to treat heroin addiction, but only take the methadone for 4 days or so and then stop, you will not have anymore heroin withdrawal and you will not experience withdrawal from methadone either. I said: If that were true, why would there be so many former heroin addicts that are now addicted to methadone? Why do methadone clinics, and doctors who prescribe methadone, continue to prescribe it for long periods of time, rather than prescribing it for 4 days and then telling the person to stop? My friend claims that this is because doctors and methadone clinics make a lot of money by getting people hooked on methadone, and therefore are involved in a scheme in order to hide the fact that you only need to take it for 4 days or so.
