Okay short story: mom on drugs, mom goes on methadone..mom has baby..baby is going through withdrawls and ends up in NICU on morphine..they took baby off morphine yesterday to see how she does..and now today they put her on methadone, and want to send her home 2morrow? Why would hospitals let a baby go home on methadone with already known drug abusers?? anything else about methadone babies ect info welcome..
If mom is on methadone, she will be closely monitored by the agency that gave it to her. My friends daughter was on methadone with her last and she got to go home with her because methadone is not an illegal drug. The mom has to go to get her methadone and is drug tested constantly. Baby is also monitored closely once they are in the home by CPS, not taken away unless they have reason (ie evidence of illegal drug use, abuse or neglect of baby, etc). She was even allowed to breastfeed (for a month until she had to go back on her lithium).

i weight 130 and i have 10 mg methadones.. i messed up my arm and i wanna know how much i cant take without overdosing.
Stay the FU*K away from that stuff. I am not joking. It killed my mother 6 years ago. I am sure you can take something like vicoden or loratab. Please reconsider taking that stuff...
My fiance is addicted to pain pills. We have talked about getting her some help from a methadone clinic. I have researched methadone, and from what I am seeing, some people use methadone for pain relief, and some people have even gotten addicted to it. How is this helping a person who is trying to get off pain pills, if their taking something that they could also get addicted to?
My father was put on methodone in an effort to "wean" him off of oxycontin. He got off the oxcyontin but became horribly addicted to the methodone. The next step was to wean him off of the methodone. The substitute they gave him for pain relief did not work, withdrawl from the methodone made him severly depressed. He committed suicide. Please don't let her take methodone.
I know someone who is using regular weed but has somehow managed to convice his doctor for a prescription for a "Take Away 20mg Dose" of Methadone.
I understand from fellow tenants that Methadone is a drug more addictive than hard drugs. Should he be having this stuff? Should I tell the Mental Health Service? What do you think?
Methadone is generally prescribed for two reasons; pain or to ease withdrawl from opiates (specifically, heroin).
Most likely, he souldn't be taking this. More importantly, the doctor shouldn't be prescribing it. Methadone is more difficult to kick than heroin (according to former addicts in the methadone program). I have seen people on methadone, it aint pretty.
If you think your friend is lying to his doctor to get drugs, tell someone. Methadone is NOT to played with.
Methadone is just as dangerous, just as addictive and is MUCH harder to get off of (withdrawal is much worse). I've experienced this first hand. For non IV addicts who remain on methadone for years, why not just let them have their opiate of choice? Is this just politics?
beacue its harm minimalisations swopping an illegal deadly drug with the possibilty of jail, HIV.Hep c for legal use of a slow acting drug that doesnt give u a high.. but there are other options apart from methadone....other narcotics ure prob talking about can be used for getting a buzz from which kinda defeats the purpose.. need to take a long acting flat tough/peak curve type drug

Subutex to Methadone.. need input - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism ...
Ok so im new here. Over the past 3-4days ive been researching my but off, thinking of the pros and cons of each subutex and methadone. Ive been on subutex for over a year now. Before I was on subutex, I was abusing oxycontin and fentanyl(smoking it,snorting, some iv use). Right now my sub dose is at 16mg. It was at 24mg, then I managed to ween down to 12mg. I was deadset on weaning off bupe, but now I dont know why I feel differently. My older brother passed away a couple weeks ago. He was 28, im 21. It has really screwed me up. Now I dont have any drive to quit my sub maintenance. I actually have been craving opiates everyday all day. I feel like I need something different for maintenance. I also am expecting a baby in another month. I think with my baby boy on the way its making me more anxious. A big reason why I dont want to continue with subutex is because subutex has to be taken sublingual, so I have to let the nasty pill dissolve under my tongue for 20-30 minutes(doc says 15 but...
