y 2006, the situation had become so severe the Food and Drug Administration issued a public health warning about methadone. Here’s what it said:





Patients should take methadone exactly as prescribed. Bigger doses can slow or stop breathing and can be fatal.

Patients taking methadone should not start or stop taking other medications or dietary supplements without talking to their health care provider. Taking other medicines or dietary supplements may reduce pain relief. They may also cause a toxic build-up of methadone.

Trouble signs: difficulty breathing, extreme fatigue or sleepiness, blurred vision, inability to think, talk or walk normally, feeling faint, dizzy or confused. If these signs occur, patients should get immediate medical help.



Many people think that because methadone is prescribed by a doctor, it’s safe. The statistics tell us something else. Whether you’re taking methadone as treatment for heroin addiction or for pain – which is what the majority of prescriptions are for these days – and even if you don’t think you have a methadone addiction, you might want to consider other options. Methadone detox in a facility capable of handling prescription drug addiction is the place to start. Technorati Tags: methadone detox, methadone addiction, prescription drug addiction

Last night Heather joined an interview with a radio station in Tampa, FL. You could hear her passion and grief as she spoke of losing you to this drug called Methadone. JP you will never be forgotten, in fact many people will learn who you were as your wonderful sister fights to save others from an untimely passing. I am sure as you are watching over her and other families members you carry a smile showing how proud you are of all her efforts, i know I am.

In blind trials, users who were given both drugs orally were unable to distinguish between the effects heroin and methadone.
Withdrawal from heroin should be over after seven to ten days. Withdrawal from methadone though, can take up to a month or even longer.
Many former heroin users have claimed that the horrors of heroin withdrawal were far less painful and difficult than withdrawal from methadone.
Methadone is a synthetic drug. It was first invented in Germany during the Second World War by scientists who, having discovered pethidine some years earlier, were developing other similar compounds.
The effects of methadone last longer than those of morphine-based drugs.
Methadone's effects can last up to 24 hours.
Deaths occur more frequently at the beginning of treatment in methadone programs; they are usually a cause of excessive doses (i.e. erroneously estimated tolerance).
Methadone generally entails the entire spectrum of opioid side effects, including the development of tolerance and physical and psychological dependence.
Individuals are as physically dependent on methadone as they were to heroin or other opiates, such as Oxycotin or Vicodin.
The most common side effects of Methadone are: drowsiness; lightheadedness, weakness, euphoria, dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation, and slow or troubled breathing.
Ironically, methadone used to control narcotic addiction is frequently encountered on the illicit market and has been associated with a number of overdose deaths.
Methadone comes as tablets, dispersible tablets, liquid, and liquid concentrate.
Methadone is one of the most difficult drugs to detox from since its effects are long-lasting and it is readily stored in the body's tissue.
