A good friend of mine died last week from this combo. Methadone is used to get you off pills and the like(heroin). Please don't mix it with any other meds without your doctors approval. I know my friend wished now that he didn't. I sure miss him and i know his mother's life will never be the same. Good luck on fighting your addiction. I know it is hard bacause i am also addicted. I will not take methadone bc of all the adverse effects it has with other meds and i can not trust myself not to mix them so i will never start taking methadone. Their is a new device that can be inserted in your stomach that helps overcome your cravings. Maybe you could check into that before you have to check into the morque. I hope this helps one person because then i will feel like my friend didn't die for no reason. Rest in peace Stewart!!! :(
a friend of my didn't wake up this morning, purchased 4 xanax & 4 methodone wafers last nite, don't know how much of it he took, but I do know he didn't wake up. Rest in peace, Ivan
I Love methadone,it's my drug of choice.And i will always taking metadone.that'ts my life.I'm on a 10ml per day...but i wanna ask u guys how do i get more ,higher dosage ? I want a 30ml per day....!
It is my drug of choice and I know and are aware what I am saying.
I am 30 years old and was 2 times in a detox clinic but it did not help me.
I always came back to methadone.So what's the point anymore?
I really tried,went trough hell,and i made my decision.
I will take methadone until i die ,or better said I am going to take methadone for life.
I am taking only 8ml per day...I just thinking how u can ask for a higher dose ? I know i have the right to. But I am asking you here guys how do you do it with your doctor ?
anybody ?
peace!
To answer the all questions..: I wanted to get higher dose because the dose I had was not covering me the whole day-my tolerance raised.I was always sick. My shrink knows me very good and he trust me.So we talked and agreed to put me on 12ml per day.I was satisfied, I even told him that i don't wanna higher dose .:-) So now I am , I drink every day 12ml methadone.
I've read all the deaths from the combos with benzos.,honestly I am shocked ! In Europe such deaths are very very rare!
I am not a newbie,I now my limits.I do also make combos with diazepam and alprazolam,but mostly with diazepam.I know when and how much to drink it. I made combos so many times....can't even remember.
The most frequently and most same mistake is (somebody told it on topic,to respect the drug) that newbies do is time !
They cannot wait 2 hours when the methadone peek is highest,so they take a lot of benzos and alcohol and after some time when the methadone starts to work...especialy after 2hourse of using,the newbies are already lying on the ground from the benzos and alkohol...and then hits the methadone like a bomb to the body ,and it's just to many for the organism because they were already high from the benzos and alcohol.That's the most seen scenario.And in the end they die from breathing depression or...
Actually, methadone was created in Germany, but not for coughs. They needed a long-acting pain killer on a small doseage that they could bring to the frontlines for treatment of war injuries. And the nae dolophine has nothing to do with "adolph." A dolor is a unit of measurement of pain.
I've been taking methadone with xanax for the past five years and I've not once, not ever, experienced ANY negative or possibly life threatening result from combining these two medications. It is difficult for most people to do this safely because theey either have no tolerance or aren't completely honest with their doctors. I make sure that every medication I have is approved by my doctor at the methadone clinic, because he has been prescribing methadone detox, and maintenance for the past 30 years, and methadone clinics have only been using methadone to help with addiction for about 40 years, so that's a lot of experience. I think that if you take the medication as prescribed and report any sidee effects or potential problems to the dr. that prescribes you methadone and the one that prescribes you xanax, I think it can be okay in most situations to mis the two. Don't get me wrong, I've beeen at a methadone clinic for 5 years, and I have seen 3 people die from combining the two, but they were using either methadone or/and xanax combined as a way to get high. This is when I think it is a bad idea to mis. I take 3mg of xanax and 205mg of methadone everyday, but I do not take them at the same time, or all at once. I take methadone around 6am everyday and will not take my first xanax pill unless it's been 3 hours since I first took the methadone. And, I do not take enough to get me high, I take the smallest amount I need, even though it's not what I want. I believe that combininng these two medications, you have to be careful, when you are careless with any medication is when it beocmes dangerous, and ressponsible use and being precautious and doing it as safely as you can, I think it can be safe to use.
This is exactly why my husband feels the same way these clinics are a joke when they allow them people in that are not serious about the program.
