no way that methadone steals your soul more than heroin. been on methadone for about two years and im at a low dose again and ready to quit. however i came to this forum because ive been using pot to cut the withdrawal symptoms. but it seems like i need to smoke every two hours to feel ok. odd, but i havent smoked for maybe 12 hours and i feel fine. in my opinion it does not affect the methadone. if it did it probably wouldnt be ok to take a urine test and come up positive for pot every month ive been at my clinic
doone n pot espacily killer pot couple hours after dosing CAN MAKE IT HARD TO BREATH!!! BE CAREFULL!! i been on the evil doone 23 years!!! as high as 110 mg. THERES NO GETTING OFF THE DOONE!!! harder than H. withdrawls can last months once your completely off of it.
actually- as a bronchial dilator, pot makes it EASIER to breathe.
I've been taking methadone 50-60mg/day for chronic pain for 17 years, smoking pot daily for 35 years. the combination has served me well.
actually it's a short term bronchial dilator..VERY short
I am legally on methadone for back pain and smoke Marijuana several times daily with it. Marijuana has no ill effects with it. Methadone is extremely habit forming and can cause some quite nasty withdrawals if you take it more than a week and then stop taking it cold turkey - also not recommended. Search on Methadone withdrawal and you can read the horror stories. There is a medication that can very significantly help take the edge off of detoxing from Methadone. You can also build a tolerance to Methadone so that it is not as effective. I have been taking 40 mg a day for pain for about 10 years. Every few months I have to back off and slowly reduce the amount of Methadone I take in order to flush it from my system. Then it starts working again for a few months. I would not take Methadone if I didn't have to. It has nasty side effects, too.
