THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN METHADONE AND METHADOSE

I was on methadone in Germany and then la polamidon as well. I moved BACK TO new york in the U.S.A. WHAT IS stronger. If I was taken .5ml what should I be taken on methadose.

That is not true. There is a difference. The pulls are made up of L-methodone and D-methodone. Liquid that is used for addicts is always 90 percent L and 10 percent D. The pills range from 40 percent to 60 percent D. The D is the matrix used for pain control and is much stronger. Why the FDA allows such a wide range is beyond me. The higher level the D in the compound the more respiratory depression and sedation. The pills have a smaller different than the liquid but THEY are different.

There is actually in fact a large difference in the two medications. The shelf life as well as the speed at Which your body metabolizes the drug are significantly different. Both drugs are "meant" to have a 24 hour shelf life, however that is not the case. In some patients, especially those with fast metabolism, began to notice withdrawal symptoms reappear as early as 12 hours after their dose, whereas methadone waa 24 and often even longer. This is the cause for so many relapses of recovering addicts who prior to the switch were functioning quite well

That is incorrect there isnt any acetaminophen in roxicet its straight oxycodone

there is a differ ence i watched my dad loose 30 lbs when he swiched he is always sick, started using speed after he was clean 3 years.he is not the same person.

I totaly agree. Been on it 10 years,, its not supposed to give you 4hours of get up n go but if you sit you nod out. Thats called TO HIGH A DOSE!! You should realy jus barely notice about 45 mins after you take it that you feel a lik bedda and thats it. Go to work,, do something all day,, anything instead of sitting around doing sh*t counting down the hours n telling yourself when you notice the diff ways you feel. That is jus very sick addict mentality. You are off the streets,, get a job,, grow a garder , cut lawns,, shave dogs asses all day ANYTHING but sittinh around and try focusing on fixing you life and filling it with some kind of rewarding activities instead of trying to dope feind your treatment n stilk tryin to find a high in every chemical you ingest in life. You cant jus take methadone and not work on your life and repairing your damaged soul or you are jus another lazy self centered junky who jus gets high legaly now and even that isnt good enough for them lol. Listen man i went from a 10yr 55 bag a day habbit in NYC to 120mgs of meth for years so i can say these things as i have actualy taken a good long look at myself after i was able to dry out for a lil while which is the whole purpose of methadone. I then approached fixing lil things at a time but never making an excuse when i previously made plans to do something positive or out of my comfort zone. Your supposed to feel pain in life. EVERYBODY else feels pain and uses it as a learning experience. Junkys jus want to numb away the pain and do for years at a time so they effectivly dont feel,, and as soon as we do feel what we are supposed to,, we act like lil bit***s and try to catch some "feeling" off our doses. It realy is junky cop out BS. We all know that,, jus sum have buried their ability to man or woman up deeper than others. And some have been so babied and enabled in life that they mentaly believe they are entitled to a good high every second of the day and since they are in a program and they finaly took some sort of step towards being clean,, that they feel like they deserve to feel better than jus normal,, when lets be honest,, ur not sick,, ur not yawnings n sh**ting water with your bones burning n skin crawling so WTF people?? Seriously instead of bitching that our attempts to get off an elicit drug are not getting us as high as we like,, lets actualy do something constructive and come to terms with the fact that no matter what if your are truly trying to heal yourself and rid your lifenof opiates,, methadone or not,, your gonna feel it. Use that as motivation to bring as much emotion and feeling into this process as possible so you actualy have some respect for your sobriety when ya get there. And remember,, healy =pain. Wether its a broken leg,, or being sore from working out,, or slowly ridding your body of a life long grip of opiates,, your gunna feel it,, but so does every person and creature on this planet. So realize nobody owe you sh*t,, keep yourself busy all day no matter what,, and dont break ANY plans you make to better things in you life even if its as small as cleaning all the dishes at 8am when you wake up. If you make a plan stick to,, no procrastination,, feel the pain and stay busy and you will pull through this as people do it every day that were even worse off than u or i. Jus have to reach your soul and shine a lil light on it once again.

Was just curious what was the difference between the white 10mg Mallinckrodt manufacturer. And the orange wafers 40 mg. Is the white for pain and the orange for opiate blocking?

Bologna!!! Methadone is weaker. I've also been on a clinic for many years and done dosent hold a candle to dose.

Yeah easy to say don't go to a clinic but how is a regular person with no medical injury supposed to convince a doctor to prescribe ANY pain meds especially methadone when our only reason is our addiction? They will laugh us all the way back to the clinic!

I've been going to a clinic for 13 years & I used to take white methadose round wafers for 5 years & Yes I loved that much better than the last 6 years of orange methadone square-ish wafers. Dose seems like u are more alive & can function & feel good but done makes u a nod out zombie!

It's all in your head, been going to the clinic for five years and they changed from done to dose last month...no difference. The done we had came as a powder and had to be measured and mixed by pharma but the dose comes pre mixed in a sealed white container. If you felt better on done then maybe your pharma was being generous with their measurments...dope fiends...always complaining
Lol

You are reffering to medication dispensed at a pharmacy for pain. There is a difference pharmacologically speaking between methadone and methadosd used for pain and methadone and methadose used to treat ooiate uss disorder.

I know exactly what you mean. Ive recently been switched from Methadone to Methadose and I have noticed the methadose is no where near as strong for me. I can normally feel my dose kicking in about 30mins after having it where as I don't feel my dose kicking in at all. I have my dose early morning then by early afternoon I feel slight withdrawals. It sucks. Gonna have to change back to methadone somehow

Where are you located ?? Or do you know of a same type Dr. Here in Twin cities area of Minnesota ? I'm 64, used 50of those years, as hard as I could. I have all ways had a high yollerence. Enough to blow their minds. For 10 yrs they gave me as much morphine as I could handle, a nurse got pissy with me over my yollerence and I left.
Help !
