Methadone Addiction: Methadone Effects : Effects of Mixing Methadone & Dilaudid
Dilaudid, like methadone, is a narcotic analgesic, and combination of the two drugs can cause labored breathing, irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest or a coma.

Depending on which narcotic you are talking about. Some narcotics like opioids (relating to heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, hydromorphone,) are physically addicting when used on a continual basis. As in you will have withdrawal effects when you stop taking. Narcotics like cocaine and free base cocaine (crack) will also cause withdrawal effects when you stop using after prolonged ingestion. Alcohol (not necessarily a narcotic) can also cause withdrawal effects after prolonged use. Some reports of marijuana discontinuation may cause some VERY temporary (maybe not even noticable) withdrawal such as irritability. But any substance that gives the user pleasure has the potential to be psychologically addicting.
Only certain drugs are physically addictive but pretty much all are psychologically addictive. Drugs like painkillers (vicodin, oxycontin, morphine), heroin, some anti anxiety medications (xanax, klonopin), and alcohol are all physically addictive. Once you become physically dependent on them you will experience withdrawal that is VERY horrible. It’s something you never want to go through. It takes a good while of continuous, basically everyday use to become dependent on the drugs. You will KNOW if you are. I’ve heard that you can also go through some sort of physically withdrawal with drugs like cocaine, crack, cigarettes & meth. But it’s nothing like the others. You may have headaches and anxiety but that’s really it. You’d be able to live your everyday life, while if you were withdrawing from the others, you wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.
Hope this helped
No. Subs and Methadone do? NOT mix. You WILL be sick as FUCK if you still have methadone in your system when starting suboxone. Yes you can take Methadone and Dillys…together… Also all benzodiazipines will act as a potentiator. (For those slower than others, that means you take benzos+methadone you get HIGH as FUCK.) Im 32. Been shooting dope since i was? 16. On methadone 95mgs (down from 155) for 7 months now. JUST as bad as H, if not worse. Liquid Handcuffs. Wackest Shit Ever.. Am QUITTING.
Are you fucking kidding me? No. It is not injectable, no it will NOT get you high. Amateur. Why dont you stick to shoving shit up your nose and ass and leave? the IV use for the Big Girls and Boys.? Fucktard.
I have inoperable spinal tumors and in demonic pain that can’t be described. I was on? 60 mg a day of methadone and diladid as my breakthrough. My pain receptors are full and my pain doc switched me to fentanyl patches after a four day hospital stay. I was weaned off the methadone (kind of rapidly….over a few weeks which they said was fast) and now I am out of my mind with withdrawal symptoms; insomnia, muscle pain, etc. It’s been five days since I’ve had any; at first it felt fine…

IM on 120 mgs per day of mrthadone. One evening I had a kidney stone attack and at the hospital I told them I was on? methadone and how much. None the less the pain from my kidney stones were agonizing. They gave me a 4mg shot of diladid. It killed the pain and allowed me to pass the stone with no problem. I had no negative side effects. IM not doubting anyone else, just sharing my experience.
you kept mentioning the gastinal tract? but never mentioned any side effects. what can it do to that???
i have been on methadone for 6? years now. 3 of those years at a methadone clinic. i suggest that anybody with a heroin addiction or opiate addiction find your nearest methadone clinic . your life will change for the good!
I’ve heard that heroin and sex together are better than? just sex, or just heroin by itself – alegedelaly.

Hey, I have been struggling with methadone(& other opiate) addiction for over 8 years, and this is what works for me:
Every month? I have to detox(not by choice), and this is what works for me over the counter: LOPERAMIDE aka Immodium AD. Make sure you get the liquid stuff though. It seriously helps with methadone withdrawals.
Suboxone for me actually made me terribly ill because I’m an idiot and did not heed the warnings. DO NOT TAKE SUBOXONE WHILE METHADONE IS IN YOUR SYSTEM!!
Just want to? point out that in opiate naive individuals, either of these potent narcotics alone can kill you.
I however am opiate tolerant and HAVE mixed methadone with dilaudid, and was totally fine. In fact, although there was slight euphoria from the dilaudid, the methadone seemed to block and over power it so for me it seemed like a total waste of both. HOWEVER, I AM A DIFFERENT HUMAN BEING THAN YOU, so your results might end up in the toilet, or the grave. Please be safe out there. Thanks!
Hey my name is Doug, I see u left a post about scripts for Suboxone. Im strugging with Methodone addiction. Ive been on it for almost two years. Will suboxone work to get you off methodone? If you can get me a script i would appreciate it! I? will pay you for it!! Please get back to me.
Thank you for the post. I have a family member who is detoxing and I’ve been looking for information about what to expect for detox symptoms and how we got to? where we are with her addiction. I would like to see more about withrawals, what’s normal and what’s not, stories of sucess, etc. But, thank you again for your effort and time in producing this video.
I’d like to see one on Methadone & Klonopin. That was THE mix a few years back when I was going to the clinic. I imagine it still is. It was the worst shape I’ve ever been in. I’ve lost recollection of soo many days. I’m on Suboxone now, keeps me away from? the city crowd/temptations…still sucks being dependent on anything, but way better than methadone.
When I was in the hospital with a ruptured gallbladder they gave me some Dilaudid to ease the pain (because I had to wait 6 freakin HOURS before they put me into surgery). I felt high as a kite and forgot I was even in any pain for a couple of hours. They tried twice to give me morphine and that didn’t do jack squat to ease the pain, it had no affect on me. Dilauded was the only thing that worked and even it didn’t? last that long..
lol good intentions perhaps but you just publicly solicited a controlled substance ?
