Addiction to methadone can be viewed as a disease that attacks the central nervous system, and common symptoms include gastrointestinal distress ...

Methadone is a prescribed medication for harm reduction and becomes it's own addiction with a greater emphasis on the physical withdrawal aspect and psychological will be involved with the facing the pain faction but once a person is clean of drugs and alcohol there must be medical assistance to withdraw from methadone. The current methodology is for the person to withdraw by a process of taper and without any additional medical assistance i.e. medication for the agitation that (with all I am sure it is different) occurs. There are no clinics set-up for withdrawal assistance both psychologically and physically but lots of clinics to prescribe methadone. Is there no money for the medical profession in assisting an addict to withdraw?

Addiction is a physical disease. It can be compared with diabetes in its course of action. It has bio-psycho-social aspects. If one is trapped in this disease unfortunately, then he/she must get professional help. Treatment includes withdrawl and rehab. Medical doctors and consullers participate in complete treatment. Drugs should be quited unconditionally.

Just curious. i will be starting methadone treatment for my opiate addiction, shortly, and the clinic starts off at 20mg, which sounds so low to me. I am not looking for a "high" but I am hoping that this is good enough that I wont have withdrawal symptoms...or pain..or cravings! am i asking too much?!? lol They said they increase it by 5mg each week if need be. does anyone know what <approx> 20mg of methadone would be equal to in oxy mg? thanks
fyi: i take both percs and oxys. (perc being 5/325 (oxy-acetominephen) and the oxys are 20mg and sometimes 40mg. The mg i consume in a day ranges from 75mg--150mg. I have been on them for almost 2 years. If this helps at all. just hoping 20mg of methadone is enough to help me.

Hi, Try not to go by the milligrams because the drugs are not similar. So 20 mg of methadone is NOT equivalent to 20 mg of oxycondone. Methodone is much more potent drug compared to oxycondone. I believe it can be 2-4 times as potent. You do not mention how many oxcondone pills a day you were taking. But, I believe the recommendation made by the doctor is correct. I would start on 20 mg daily and if NEED BE increase by 5 mg.
Good luck

Hey, i am wondering..
I was formerly addicted pretty wretchedly to herion (after a long battle with the lovely Oxycontin), and therefor tried a number of treatments, ultimately landing upon a Methadone clinic. I have found it to be a wonderful option for me, although, it does have some unfavorable side effects. Regardless, i was doing quite well on it for 3 years now (haven't used at all), except i do at times abuse my Methadone. For example, i will take a couple doses in a day. So now, i did that again (as i get a 6 day supply at a time for being 'good'), and i am one short. I obtained 4 100 mg Ultram ER tablets and i wonder if they will help fight of the "yucky" feeling i will certainly feel tomorrow. Anyone know? Thanks all!
Indeed being done with all drugs would be favorable but it is not yet in my power. And Methadone withdrawal most certainly lasts way longer than a mere 3 days. Anyone have any experience with this?

Tramadol made me sick and throw up. It may be non narcotic, but with drawls from that can be pretty bad too. Feeling sick,anxiety,restlessness and difficulty sleeping. Best of luck, I know from experience how hard it is to get out of the addict mentality.

Besides having been a highly efficacious agent in the treatment of heroin withdrawal, methadone's long half-life makes it a very useful narcotic for the treatment of chronic pain (many pain managment experts find it equieffective to Oxycontin.

If you can help me with the the history of Dolophine's development, I would greatly appreciate if you can explain why we shouldn't do experiments on unborn children if they are sub-human?

Lastly, since the Nazis felt that Jews were subhuman, what's to ensure that modern Feminists don't find men subhuman as well? What sort of experiments would you perform on men prior to eradicating us since your doctrine clearly regards men as subhuman (not unlike a Sprague-Dawley rat)?

*Please note that waiting for evidence of genocide isn't a prudent thing to do. When one smells smoke, it's best to assume there's a fire.
Rainbows: Methadone used to be the standard for heroin withdrawal until the inception of the benzons. With benzos, the cocktail is essentially as euphoric as heroin, so it's just hard to get off methadone. These days, suboxone is pretty much the standard for heroin detox. Methadone when used in a pill preparation is a terribly potent, long acting analgesic, just as good as OC. I know this from clinical expertise and personal tragedies in my own life. When DEA was scrutinizing every script for OC, most pain management specialists were perfectly comfortable wirting for equianalgesis quantities of Methadone solid and that patients did extraordinarily well. Probably the most potent analgesic we have that's Sched II is Fentanyl, and in 72h transdermal release, it's about as potent as it gets but is contraindicated in the post operative setting. It's ideal in patients with chronic, intractable pain, e.g. carcinoma.

The question still remains, how was Doliphine researched and on whom

I heard the withdrawls from methadone are pretty bad too. Also this drug will be used on adult so wouldnt make more sense to test it on adults?
