Question 1

my partner has injected targin and in on methadone he is very sick and withdrawaling as i write to you won't stay still he's freezing please help?

Accepted Answer

Poison help line: Think your best option is to either call 911 or Poison Control Center (800-222-1222), wishing the best for you and your partner.

Question 2

i'm on 115mg methadone,i injected 100mg morphine iv,can histamines flood my head,stay there,eventually causing heart failure?

Accepted Answer

Overdose: Histamine, alone, would not induce heart failure. However, it sounds like you are going through a lot right now ... And would benefit from seeing a psychiatrist to restart your rehabilitation. If you're having any trouble breathing, chest pain, or other alarming symptoms - you should head directly to your nearest ER.

Question 3

i take 115mg methadone daily,had a relapse,injected 100mg morphine tab 2 weeks ago,can histamine flood head,build up there eventually causing heart failure,i have a loud hissing noise in head for last 5 days,hospital not sure what to do?

Accepted Answer

No: "histamine flood" would not be the explanation. Not sure. Best of luck

Question 4

is methadone a good way to get of pain pills?

Accepted Answer

It  depends: What is your ultimate objective? Are you treating a pain issue? An addiction issue? Do you want Methadone maintenance?  You need to speak with a doctor who can review all these issues.

Question 5

can methadone be used to help someone get off pain pills, how does it work if methadone is also used for pain?

Accepted Answer

Not Really: Methadone is a cheap and useful pain medication; for this reason Methadone clinics use this for drug addicts to give them their "hit" and keep them from doing illegal and destructive things to get it.  Just because someone is on Methadone does not mean they are an addict; they may have legitimate need to control pain; this should not prevent the search for non-narcotic resolution to the problem.

Question 6

is it okay to cut or crush methadone pill?

Accepted Answer

Not normally: It is never advisable to crush Methadone unless advised by your physician prescribing it.  Methadone tablets include Methadone but might also include magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose.  All these are proportioned for long acting delivery.  If you disrupt the pill you can overdose and die.  Please don't risk your life over a pill.

Question 7

i have taken 2 10 milligram methadone pills last week how long will it stay in my system?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Methadone because it stays in the body's fat can remain detectable in the body for extended periods.  Hair testing might show its presence for months.  Most screening, however, is through urine and with standard cut-offs I would expect after a week it wouldn't come up as positive unless previous use was high or there was some significant problem effecting excretion.

Question 8

can i take the diet pill ace while on methadone?

Accepted Answer

No : It would effect the absorption of other meds and should be avoided

Question 9

how long will it take for one 10mg methadone in pill form to leave my system for drug testing and screens ?

Accepted Answer

Methadone: Methadone is one of those drugs where it's almost impossible to say when it will be completely washed out of your system - essentially because it has a ton of metabolites and a huge half life window. Could be as little as 2 days or 2 weeks. Hope that helps!

Question 10

i want to loose weight but i'm on methadone what can i do. in one yr. i've gained 80 pounds. is there a dirty pill that can help or what do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Dirty pill?  Do you mean diet pill?  The answer to weight loss is to take in fewer calories than you consume.  I suggest a dietary consult and increased exercise.
