Question 2

is it okay to take phentermine while taking methadone?

Accepted Answer

: Phentermine is chemically related to amphetamine and is a controlled substance. More than likely you are on methadone either for cancer pain or for treatment post drug addiction. Therefore you should not be prescribed other controlled medication such as phentermine. Also, phentermine and methadone can rarely cause a complication called serotonin syndrome.

Question 8

if a person on methadone for chronic pain is also prescribed prn oxycodone,  how long should they wait after taking the methadone to take the oxy?

Accepted Answer

Breakthru : methadone is a powerful analgesic with a long half life. Oxycodone is a short acting powerful pain medicine to be taken in your case only during a breakthru pain crisis and certainly not  by the clock. Both medicines can cause side effects and even death.  I prescribe this regimen for intractable chronic pain only and monitor for its helpfulness and safety

Question 9

Yes: That is not a problem. Take it with breakfast.

Question 10

i'm taking 5mg prednisone on and off, i did not know that it has side effects if i stop, 
i'm  not taking it for 5 days now, should i take it again?

Accepted Answer

Many issues: There are a lot of issues we need to know to answer that question. Why you taking it? Sometimes Prednisone is given intermittently. Sometimes people need to slowly tsper it especially if they been on it a long time. The fact that you have been off it without a problem may mesn you don't need to take it anymore.
