Question by Allyson: If someone is using methadone, can they get high of other drugs?
My uncle is an outpatient in methadone treatment. But acting very hyper and running around a lot. Is this normal? Or could he also using something else?

Best answer:

Answer by nurse
Methadone doesn’t make you hyper. It could simply be that he’s not always ‘low’ from heroin use any more, and seems hyper because of it. Generally, people who like ‘downer’ drugs don’t switch to uppers like that, but I don’t know your uncle, so anything is possible.

Question by random: HYDROCODONE………………..?
one of my best friends takes hyrocodone everyday…ive taken them a couple times before and i know what it feels like. he spends alot of money on them and gets his pills from people he knows. im pretty sure he is addicted to them. since i known him ive noticed he gets mad very easy and he gets very irratated when someone doesnt do something he wants them to do. what are the long term effects of hydro’s as far as heath risk goes?

Best answer:

Answer by Cowgirl Nurse
Though a very effective drug that has been used for years, hydrocodone has a high incidence of abuse. Hopefully, your friend will not let this go on much longer. Encourage him to get some help, but remember that he can only do it when he is ready. How close you are to this person indicates how deeply you want to get involved.
Good luck to both of you.http://www.mamashealth.com/substance/prescription.asp    Read more...
