no issues

Question 4

what is the maximum strength of  methadone a person can take?

Accepted Answer

Methadone - : There is no max. Really whats limits the dose is side effects and regulation. In the usa if you are at 160mg per day this is often viewed as a dose for addiction medicine. Cardiac issues can be seen at any dose. Also dose depends on the comfort level of your prescriber.

Question 5

can i take methadone and provider for pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can: Only under pain management supervision. Methadone, a synthetic mu agonist opioid, has pharmaceutical activity similar to morphine. Because it can be taken orally and has an extended duration of action in suppressing withdrawal symptoms in physically dependent individuals, it is frequently used as a substitute for morphine and heroin in addicted patients. 
Consult your physician for more info.

Question 6

what can occur if you take methadone while being on suboxone?

Accepted Answer

Glad you asked ...: Suboxone attaches to the same opioid receptors in the brain as does methadone, but sub binds much more strongly than mtd does. Therefore, if your brain is full of sub and you take mtd, you will notice very little effect. However, if you take the mtd first and the sub second, the mtd will be replaced by the sub and you will go into precipitated withdrawal, likely quite severe. Don't mix the two.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: One large study involving over 9000 people taking both meds reported no interaction. Your pharmacist would have more information for you.

Accepted Answer

Question 9

can you take amoxicillin and methadone!?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The two medications should not cause any significant interactions. Methadone, when misused, however, can be fatal so make sure you are taking it as prescribes by a doctor experienced in prescribing it. It is a different animal than other opiates; it won't get you high but it can get you dead pretty quickly if misused.
