IS THIS SAVE TO DO OR WHAT COULD BE THE SYMPTOMS OF MIXING THESE TWO DRUGS KEPPRA AND METHADONE
Dear Leasa: UNFORTUNATLEY I have a LOT of experience with this. I was addicted to Oxycontin and Oxycodone!!! I had a "quack" as a doctor, who used to perscribe 300 Percocet a month! To get off of these was the hardest thing I've ever done. I was on methadone, unfortunately while I was on it, I met a lady that had been on it for 2 years!!! I thought to myself "I want off this now, not 2 years from now" I found a wonderful doctor who gently weined me off them. It took 7 months in total. Before starting I had opiate toxicity, my skin felt burnt, I couldn't go near anything warm. It was horrible. If you are still in pain - as I take it you would have been prescribed it for pain - I would suggest Tramacet, and Clonazepam. Tramacet is for the pain, and Clonazepam is for anxiety. Another one my doctor recently gave me for shaking is Cymbalta! I found this particullarly affective. My doctor also believes in marijuana, if you live in Canada you can apply for permission to use marijuana. I don't smoke so I take "special cookies" for the shakes. That really helps. Good luck. It WILL get easier and you too can kick this "legal" herroin!
I too am on keppra 500mg a 2 times a day and I'm on methadone maintenance. Iam Currently at 53 mg methadone daily, my primary care Dr and neurologist as well as the pharmacist are all aware of this and stated it was safe for me to be on both medications. Talk to your Dr, mine have been very sympathetic and understanding with my admission of the methadone program. Good luck I bet you'll be just fine.
I am too on methadone maintenance and have siezures.I was giving dilantin 1000mg a day and it ate the methadone right out of me. I was just like narcan. So now I'm not on anything for siezures. Will keppra do the same?
Im on keppra an methadone was on dilantin to but it also ate the methadone to me to! Now i feel like the keppra is doing the same! I feel like my methadone not working at all! Going to my dr in couple weeks we will see! I wanna stop the keppra but since i stopped the dilantin im having small seizures
