I missed my dose of Methadone, will I get sick before tomor

You will begin to feel sickness but by 10:00 am when you redose it shouldn't be severe however it probably will be ucomfortable.

Methadone usually holds for two days.

how long will a 10mg methadone last before symptoms begin

it depends how long you been on it. if you been on it less than 2/3wks, forget it.your gonna rattle. best way to not be poerly is to go buy some on the black market. im not condoning scoring but its al;ot better than waiting till your ill cos once your ill(especialy of meth) who knows what youll do or take to make you better. everybodys different at the end of the day, ive been on 100ml for 4 1/2 yr and only just been reduced by 10ml every 6wk. if it wernt 4 meth i too would av been dead! since been scripted up IVE NEVER TAKEN ANY DRUG WHATSOEVER. if you can wait till nxt dose, grit ya teeth and do it, but if not, then take my advice and buy enuff to hold u while morning good luck and stay focused, bet u aint even got 24hrs left to go and 24hrs seems like a lifetuime dont it?.i wish i was as strong as some of them whos replied to you. i cant come off it, but its alot better than living a life on junk....

is there anyone reading this that can help me? i have been on methadone for 3 1/2yrs and it has changed my life,i actually have a life today! the reason im writing this is that my faith in humanity,especially on the medical side, has severely diminished over the past 24 hrs. Let me tell u why: As i said b4 im on MMT 50 m a day for my addiction to fentanyl & other opiates and unfortuntely i also suffer from severe\major depression disorder,GAD, and severe PTSD.for these i am prescribed Cymbalta 120mg a day and Prozac 120mg per day. (the response i usually get now is oh my God! u r on that much? all together?who put u on that?-well a guardian angel. a genuis,a miracleworker, not really sure, i just know it was the 1st, last, one and only Dr that ever listened 2 me. I cannot begin to even tell or try to explain the horrowing experience of becoming adjusted to medication, u have to experience it, very exhausting. After many many many many many many trips 2 the beloved 6th floor, i stumbled upon a dr who put me on this combination. These were and have been 4 almost 4 yrs working on my behalf, all together they have given me a quality of life that i should not and could not even know of. I wont get n2 why i started using, thats n a book somewhere,im sure of it.(just imagine a really good episode of I Survived) Since the beginning of my treatment my life has been awesome,im 38, i have a wonderful loving caring husband(whos a recovering addict himself),a beautiful daughter & family, almost 4 years free from the obsession of using and ways and means to use,nice house,white pickett fence, 2 dogs and a fish, and of course above ALL else i love me sum Jesus,couldnt be happier. So where does HELP ME come in, well i will tell u, w/in the past 6months to a year i have had alot of weird,quirky things happen with me,anything from suddenly falling down & lying my eye open to this strange discoloration on both my feet that seems to b moving up my leg and not to mention that i accidently sniffed our granulated chlorine 4 the hottub.(yes i know, and just like i said 2 my husband, i was seeing if it was still good,jk) I also have been experiencing sudden and intensive onsets of depression where i cant get out of bed even if the house were on fire.I have had such dibilitating pain n my legs,arms,back and even my hair hurts to brush at times. Also as my husband loves 2 remind me i have been making some really odd choices or desicions lately, like i'm not really here n the now, and what ever i do seems to ends disasterdly,its like my cognitive skills are lacking to a degree and i have trouble completeing anything or even concentrating. we, my family,recently jst moved to TN from NC so unfornutely i lost the wonderful doctor/patient relationships i had there, and here n good ole TN,well anyone who is on methadone or has been flagged somewhere u know what im gonna say,it aint happenin here sister. believe me ive tried 7 (seven) times 2 b exact(all n the almost 2 yrs of living here. As soon as i mention the M word they all run. Well this has seriously posed a problem for me as to do with seeking medical treatment and finding out what the heck is wrong w/me! I see my counselor on a regular basis at the clinic and i have wonderful support hence the fact that the doc at the clinic wont treat anything other than my addiction issues. so i recently found a LPN nearby and have begun again this whole,this is how my life was ,is and has to be speech that i should just type up and carry johnny on the spot w/me. she diagnosed me with rhuemitiod (sp)arthritis and is testing me for Lupus and an array of other things i cant spell. & my ANA rate is extremly high she says(not real sure what that means just yet)(i had to have a complete hystorectemy at age 30 due to ALOT of gyn issues and this early onset could b possibly related,but yet not responsible for my bones being brittle and "dainty"-as she puts it. she wants 2 prescribe pain meds and i dont want that,period. i have not come this far for that,no.no.no.So n the midst of all this i have managed 2 b ok,w/Gods help of course.i have kept anyone and everyone who knows me informed,including my counselor at the clinic of all this stuff even the crazy wierd things and my husband and family r the only ones who r noticing such a drastic change n me from the way i used 2 b less than a year ago.So, there has not yet been a resolve, and u know how patient us addicts r,so i did something really really stupid, i didnt even realize how stupid until today. i have take homes and i have been increasing them little by little 2 c if the increase in it makes me feel better, and it did! I was 1st excited about this and i drove straight 2 the clinic 2 tell the doc that i finally know whats wrong with me, it has 2 b an adjustment n my methadone, increasing it would help me, i felt like i did before when i started the MMT.well this was not good news to him, he flipped out and told me he had no patience for people like me and that tears did not affect him, that i knew better and i was asked 2 leave the premises immediately. I was 1st shocked, it felt like my heart was ripped out,I mean i have been so desolate and confused, i never knew u could use methadone n the place of pain meds,no one ever told me,so when i had that revelation i was so relieved that i would not have 2 stop my MMT and do the "other" thing. i was terrified at the very thought of having 2 go back 2 where i came from that even talked to my counselor about it.So this whole time im going thru all this stuff the clinic has been notified, i was even told to try split dosing and i did(FYI dont let anyone know if u do 2)i have been so caught up n myself that i didnt remember basic rules or LAWS! it was illegal 2 take the methadose any other way than prescribed and i <stupid stupid stupid me didnt remember that when i went running my mouth to the doc. so now hes pissed, not sure what he thinks bout me but because of my irrational thinking i've totally screwed the pooch on this deal! I am currently out of meth, i took the last dose yesterday and im not supposed to reup till Mon. So here lies the problem: with the DR pissed i am going n2 withdrawl prob 2morrow and cant do a thing to get more meth till mon am. I have never been w/out the meth longer than 1 1/2 days and im terrified of what i may have to go thru until mon. The dr said i did this 2 myself and has no sympathy but i dont understand, i mean if i had cancer and had found something to put it n remission would he take that away too? why am i being punished rather than helped,i was elated w/the news of what i found out and it was like he stole the dream away. well my counsselor said mayb ive been clean 2 long cuz im not thinking like an addict.huh?thats what i said. evidiently what i did put me out of compliance. What i dont understand is that if they had been paying attention to me and listening to me and my loved ones they,the addiction experts, should of read all the signs and everything that i was feeling and described to them was exactly what i told them it was, a need for methadone increase. i think the dr is mad at me bcuz i had made this discovery on my own without his help or the help of the clinic. I was ignorant about alot of things when i started this journey and still am, i have to learn as i go, so do they. I can 4give the doc 4 his hurtful namecalling that he resorted to,and i dont beleive my counselor had any ill will. The one thing i dont and cant understand is that i had no agenda, no plan to munipulate anyone or any situation,really it didnt even cross my mind,and i am being punished for it. what do i do

>;) i would reall like to get off methadone but the side effect from missing 1 dose was unreal,
i could'nt sleep, my nerves were going crazy, hot and then cold, sweating bullets, just,
going skitzo. is that normal ?.

This is a reply for, "me n tn."
As of 4-10 you posted a question.
It is now 1-11 and I am wondering if you need a response and/or how you are doing now?
Thx.

Wow, me tn over yr ago, Firstly they can't just drop u from the program on 50mils meth, without sending you Somewhere like a detox unit, or reducing u quickly, a doctor can be sued for that, So I'm sure you were fine after he calmed down, some docs hv this huge ego, if I were u I would slowly quit all SSRI meds and increase ur methadone dose, or go onto subtext Altho it's not as good imo, it's dangerous to become dependent on ssri, Plus if you have got water fluoridation in you area, the you are getting you dose of Prozac! Please look it up it's bizzar but true. Good Luck

I've been on mmt for about 8months, I dose at 180mg daily. Recently (just last WK)I received terrible infothat my ffather was in a terrible accident in another state..bear with me.. I did everything I needed to set up "courtesy dosing" in the state my father was in so that I could go w/o being sick. The morning I was leaving I went to pick up my daily dose when my counselor quick pulled me aside right as I got there.we chatted about how the courtesy dosing would go. After talking she walked me out while we chatted to the door and I took off 600+ miles away. I did not take my dose,& the cRaZIeSt part is that I didn't even realize it until 3days later!! I was completely shocked & thought that couldn't b! My dosing nurse confirmed tho, I had no dose. I didn't even know until it dawned on me 3days later when my emotions had settled.. I couldn't believe that happened and I hadn'tmussed it a bit! I dosed the next mmorning, feeling the same as usual. I didn't wake up sweating nothing. I tried to think back on how I was feeling, just very nervous and scared about my father. Maybe more nervous than usual. It was a Thursday that I missed dose, Friday I got my usual, Sat morning I woke up drenched in sweat & nauseous & weak, I thought I was coming down w something BC at that point I hadn't even realized I had missed. On the way to clinic I thought, I remember my counailor walked me out and I thought I didn't dose. I asked my nurse and sure enough I was so preoccupied I didn't notice until 3days later!! I was dumbfounded.. Couldn't believe that I hadn't even noticed! It was a good experiment tho I thought, I had been terrified at the possibility of someday missing & how awful I would feel. So I thought it'd b good to share my experience, hopefully it will help calm someone if they miss. You should b just fine (as long as its w/in 28hrs as mine was). Like I sd, slightly uncomfortable not the day u miss, or the next (dosing) but the following. Although I do think that had I realized I missed my dose, I would've felt terrible, probably bitching & moaning all day. Mind over matter is CrAzY sh*t! Still, tell itself its all in our mind and u will survive I promise! I'm glad to know w/o a doubt that missing 1day won't kill me or even cause much uncomfortable-ness..

I'm confused about how you got dope sick even though you dosed the day before waking up sick. That is just baffling to me that you got sick with your normal dose of methadone being taken the day before. I hope this makes sense what I'm trying to say...LOL.

Hi, I do know what ur saying, & that's the same thing my counselor said! I can't explain other than.. My peak is at the 650mark (not sure how its measured exactly), my troth was 350ish(24hrs after dosing). So I figured thats where I was when i was supposed to dose,(@350) so that entire day that continued to drop. When I did dose 48hrs later I must've been at zero. So I'm guessing it was at least half the normal "rate"(?-peak & troth rate), which brings us to a peak of 350 & troth 0(the day I dosed after missing). So that would mean 72hrs later I had dropped to 0for the 2nd DAY in a row. So I don't know, I'm thinking that dropping to 0 for 2days was when it hit...if u can understand my sometimes strange logic :)

110 MG, past year, if I miss a dose(like I did yesterday, going for my dose soon) I feel hot and cold, can't handle light or sound, massive achs in my head, back and neck.

I was piping oxys and railing heroin, and to tell you the truth the methadone withdrawl is worse, BUT and its a BIG BUT! the methadone I can get everyday, the oxys and heroin where a 3 - 4 times a week, so I think it's easy to see why I picked methadone treatment.

Yes, I know withdrawal from methadone is worse, unfortunately. But I agree its better right now for me..before i started mmt my life was a constant rollercoaster. If I didn't have anything to wake up to, it was almost impossible to even get out of bed, & being a working mom, I didn't have that option. I was blowing ALL of my $ & some. All of my worthy possessions went to pawn. All of my bills behind & on the verge of eviction (thank god my landlord was kind enough that he didn'tbc i was thousandS behind.. I HAD to do something, it was impossible to do on my own. I finally decided Inneed treatment.. I was afraid to be labeled"an addict". It was the BEST thing I EVER did for myself. Luckily, the staff at the clinic I go to were so kind. I didn't feel like they looked down on me in anyway..they truly want to help.. Quickly my life started coming back together pretty soon after starting. I started buying back all of my valuables back from pawn. I could work w/o being sick and in pain..i had energy after work which was nonexistant before! Now I've been off of opiates 8months & although i don't know what will happen upon completing the program, I'm scared of the thought. I'm hoping I will have the strength to be completely done after everything ive been thru.. I know 1thing tho 4 sure, I will not be going back to that lifestyle- no way- I've come to far. And for that i am forever grateful that there are programs like this to help ppl like me (which is SO many, it truly is an epidemic)! Please, if u are going thru what i did, plz don't be afraid to do something about it! If I knew how awesomely helpful it was & how there are so many "normal ppl" just like myself there, I would've gone years ago..I struggled w thus addiction nearly 6 years before I admitted to myself that I needed help. Addicts don't look like a addicts, we look like/we are normal everyday ppl. Don't think ur 2good to go get the help you need.. Trust me, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner, do it before you lose everything & everyone you care about. Do it for you. You are worth it!

Sorry this isn't a reply, but I was wondering can I split a normal dose of 190mg. Between two days?
