Question 1

can you take advocare diet on methadone?

Accepted Answer

No contraindication: Any change in lifestyle can place a stress on ones life, including the start if a new diet.  As long as you deal with the stress of the new diet, and do not relapse into using illegal drugs to cope, then it is fine.  If you include the doctor in your healthy living/diet plans, then it would be even better.  Best wishes.

Question 2

can i take midrin and methadone together?

Accepted Answer

Well: Using Methadone with Midrin can lead to problems with dizziness, feeling tired, poor concentration & cognitive impairment.

Question 3

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 4

can i take a suboxone 5 hours after a methadone?

Accepted Answer

No!!!: It could lead to respiratory arresr!

Question 5

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 6

what should i take to help going cold turkey off of methadone?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Do not go it alone, seek treatment in a treatment center.   Methadone can be a more difficult withdrawal then any other opioid.  Do not take suboxone.

Question 7

is it likely if i take methadone that i'll also fell very nauseous?

Accepted Answer

Depends on dose: All opioids cause nausea and vomiting, and this is one of their most common side effects.  However, if the dose is started low (recommended starting dose for pain treatment is 2.5 mg two to three times/day), nausea is uncommon.  In people on Methadone for narcotic addiction, it is not more likely to cause nausea than the opioids they were using-oxycodone, heroin etc.If not prescribed don't take!

Question 8

is it likely if i take methadone that i'll also feel very nauseous?

Accepted Answer

There is a risk: Methadone may cause nausea, especially in the early phases of treatment. Most patients stop experiencing nausea once they are in treatment with Methadone for several days. Vomiting may also occur.

Question 9

how much time do i need to wait to take suboxone after taking methadone?

Accepted Answer

That depends on how: Long you were on Methadone and on what dose. Suboxone (buprenorphine) will precipitate withdrawal in people who are dependent on other opioid drugs. Methadone is very long-acting, and precipitated withdrawal can occur even days after your last dose if you were on Methadone long-term. Tapering Methadone down to 30 mg or less, and waiting 2-3 days (until withdrawal is present) is safest way.

Question 10

would taking ace diet med affect the methadone i take? in any way at all? thanks for the help!

Accepted Answer

Not that i know of: Ace is a supplement containing chromium, a few vitamins and caffeine, and as far as i can tell, wouldn't have any interactions with methadone.  Despite all of the testimonials etc. Online, there is little or no scientific evidence that it works.  Weight loss is a matter of eating a lot less and exercising a lot more, and that works better than any supplement. Good luck on your efforts.
