Does Marijuana help withdrawal from methadone?
My sister is addicted to meth, but goes to the clinic. She missed it today and yesterday and wants me to give her money for meth and she said she's going to rehab soon. I haven't answered her back, but I refuse to give her any money for more meth. I'd give her weed though if that could help her. She said she is throwing up and that she feels really bad. I don't mess with any other drugs so I'm not sure if a gram of weed could help her until she gets to the clinic tomorrow morning.

How long should I wait after my last dose of methadone to start suboxone?
I have went down from 85mg of methadone to 17mg of methadone at a rate of 4mg per day. It has been 24 hours since my last dose of 17mg and Im already feeling the w d setting in. I know they say to wait 3 days once you are down to 30mg of methadone but if I have tapered down to 17mg would I still have to wait a full 3 days? Please only answer if you have experience with suboxone. Because I have experienced precipitated W D in th past and never want to feel that again. Thank You.

Should I stop my methadone treatment, your advice would be greatly appreciated?
Here is the thing, I am an ex drug addict, I was a pretty bad user, started pills when I was 18 from a chronic pain condition called endometrosis but I have been sober or clean from heroin and pills for 2 years about....I got on methadone treatment about 2 years ago. I am living with my friend who is into natural medicine and is against methadone. I know that methadone causes some stuff like i heard it depletes the calcium in the bones over time, and it's REALLY hard to get off..I know I tried before. But I don't want to be on it for the rest of my life. I am 27 and I'm on 105mg a day.My roommate says I should get off because1. it prevents me from going living anywhere that doesn't have a methadone clinic nearby.2. I have to go almost everyday to the clinic.. I'm on phase 2 which means I can have 3 take outs a week, and I will be getting my phase 3 soon. 3. He's worried about the calcium thing.4. Also he thinks I will die from a liver thing or slow breathing in my sleep.Those are the main things he is worried about,but the things is..I have been on it for about 2 years and I have not had a dirty UA since getting on the methadone. It's has been helping me..Also it really is hard to get off.5. I had an EKG done and my QT levels are off....but my methadone doctor said he sent the results to a cardiologist and he said the heart waves on the paper looked fine...He called my primary and said it was alright...but it still makes me a little worried.I have heard of this treatment called. Ibogain? It supposedly helps people get off opiates, and it addresses the withdrawal that would come with stopping it.I know I don't want to be on it forever but....it's helping me right now....what do you think?Thank you.Wow, thank you J Miller for your answer, you know alot about this subject..as should I. I have been reading up on it...but some of the sites I have been to are vague and say stuff that isn't necessarily true. That's why I wanted other opinions and facts from people who know what they are talking about. Thank you for replying to my question. I really don't feel ready to get off....but my friend has been pressuring me....just cuz he thinks it 's a bad thing to be on it for a long time....but then what does he know...I will let him know what I found out about it. I really am doing better now then I was not on the treatment. Thank you for your input. Hope you have a great day night.

Drug testing for methadone for customer service/ receptionist?
What kind of drug test does Exact Staff use?Hi I am applying for a position threw Exact Staff A staffing agency which then puts you threw to a position suited for you . The position is for either a receptionist or customer service representative via telephone and face to face. There is no outside responsibilities, no driving, no licenses needed. I wanted to know what the general drug test was for this type of position or Exact Staff in specific if anyone knows. What I mean is, I know it is a urine sample but is it a 5 or 10 panel screen. Any info is important. Thank you I have a prescription for methadone. Which would come up on a 10 panel screen. But just because I have a prescription I am not in clear because 1 of 2 things will happen 1 I inform them of my prescription and am denied due to current medication illicit or not , or 2 I will take the test and show a dirty screen, although technically a false positive because of my prescription. Do they care I am prescribed? No because it probably looks bad either way especially because the testing is done at their facility cant really fight over it , My only 2 options are 1 Take the screen & cross my fingers it is a 5 panel and I pass...or 2 Get fake urine. But I worry 2 will cause more problems, ugh And no I do not have time to stop the methadone prior to testing, also disturbance of prescribed meds is very unhealthy. " Moses" Anyone who calls anyone a " chicken head" on a site of help, community, and questions is the " chicken head" themselves. I have a prescription. Can you not read?? Go home. Oh wait, you probably are..and haven't left in a long time. This is pretty clear considering you are an online bully. So sad.

I need a QUICK answer. Does Marijuana help Methadone withdrawal symptoms?
My sister is addicted to meth, but goes to the clinic. She missed it today and yesterday and wants me to give her money for meth and she said she's going to rehab soon. I haven't answered her back, but I refuse to give her any money for more meth. I'd give her weed though if that could help her. She said she is throwing up and that she feels really bad. I don't mess with any other drugs so I'm not sure if a gram of weed could help her until she gets to the clinic tomorrow morning.Nothing wrong with weed. There is a lot wrong with methadone. So if trading meth for weed helps her then that would be the best option. I'm not getting into the right and wrong of marijuana, but it's better than meth any day.And she wants $60 and there's no way I would give her that much. I refuse to give her any money to buy meth.
