Luckily you can't. It is made this way for a reason.

I'd call the doctor that prescribed it initially.  If not by prescription, then I'd detox myself slowly, perhaps taking 75% of it daily for a few days, then 50%, then 25%, then at timely intervals.  You can beat it!  I was once addicted to Valium and alcohol and detoxed myself a lot of times.

Hi gaylon e,\n Please don't listen to the first 3 answers! \nI've been on methadone for over 5 yrs. now. It's the ONLY thing that keeps my pain manageable.Yes, it's physically addicting,but it is the only narcotic that provides relief without getting a "buzz" from it. I had brain surgery 9 years ago and had metal inserted into my aneurysm to fill it up.The neck of it reopened causing the  metal coils to  compress, and the result is "systemic vasculitis". In layman's terms, it means my cerebral arteries are inflamed.It's inoperable at present time, but I keep hoping for a miracle!\n  I was sent to a pain clinic and the doctors there offered this drug. I had complained that drugs such as vicodin and oxycontin didn't work unless I ate them like candy. They also made me feel "high". My quality of life sucked back then. Now, I am finally able to manage my pain and my quality of life is much better. Also, being on disability, it is hard to manage the newer medicines because of cost effectiveness. Methadone has been around for years and it's cheap. There's a pain medicine called  fentynal  that comes as a patch and you change it every 3 days or so, but the cost is astronomical without prescription coverage.\nIt is simply not true that methadone is unavailable outside of hospitals and that methadone's only use is for withdrawal from heroin. Please get your facts straight before spreading these myths.\nThe doctors at the pain clinic changed my life for the better. I no longer suffer in silence. If methadone is working for you, stay with it. From experience I can say the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. Check out the link below for more info. Good luck to you!

It is not only possible for them to stop filling those prescriptions in your state, but across the US. \nIf you have an addiction like this, you need to go to see a psychiatrist. Call an addiction hotline (just check the yellow pages) and they will give you information on who to call or where to go for help. You can also get help through local mental health centers.\nWhat you are doing is called "drug seeking" whether you are doing it for a legitimate reason or not. Get some help for yourself before you spiral any farther out of control. YOU ARE WORTH IT!!

No.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suboxone

I would say no, esp since it is used for Opiate Addiction Detoxing. When I searched for it, nothing came up and if there are online companies, they are almost always listed first.\n\n"SUBOXONE is the first opioid medication approved under DATA 2000 for the treatment of opioid dependence in an office-based setting. SUBOXONE also can be dispensed for take-home use, just as any other medicine for other medical conditions."

You can take 10mg's at a time with no problem. I take 20mg"s 3 times a day. The side effects are not fun. One minute your fine and the next your sweating. I sweat a lot from it when I"m doing physical things. Also I feel like I am going thru withdrawals sometimes. This drug is worse than heroin when coming off. I have been on 4 years now and can't get off. My life is controlled by it. Try not to take it if at all possible. You can just put it in your mouth and take a drink of water and it will dissolve. Good Luck

Call A.A. it's listed in your phone book. You may need to be detoxed 1st, they can lead you in the right direction. Don't try it alone especially if you have been using alot, DT's can be fatal. One Day at a time, God Bless.

Sounds like they need to see if you have a obstruction somewhere.  Also taking some stool softners everyday may help.\n\nAre you drinking alot of water?\n\nCan they change you to a different drug for detoxing...like Clonidine?

yes, read this...\n\nBritish firm Reckitt & Colman (now Reckitt Benckiser) first marketed buprenorphine under the trade names Temgesic (sublingual/parenteral preparations, no active additives) and Buprenex (parenteral, no active additives). Two more recent formulations from Reckitt Benckiser have been approved for opioid addiction treatment in the U.S.: Subutex (flavorless sublingual, no active additives; in 2mg and 8mg dosages) and Suboxone (orange-tang flavored sublingual, one part naloxone for every four parts buprenorphine; hexagon shaped tablet in 2mg and 8mg dosages). Suboxone contains the opioid antagonist naloxone to deter illicit intravenous preparation of the tablet, this is intended to attenuate the effects of buprenorphine on opioid-naive users should this formulation be injected - however no human studies have been done demonstrating the efficacy of this approach with buprenorphine and a growing number of street reports indicate that the naloxone is ineffective. It must also be noted that buprenorphine in and of itself will induce a precipitated withdrawal syndrome if ingested by an acutely opioid dependent individual via any route.\n\nBuprenorphine is also delivered transdermally in 25, 50 and 75 mcg/hour. The trade name in the UK is Transtec, and manufactured by Napp. A new 5, 10 and 20 mcg/hour patch marketed as Bu'7rans (Bu-trans), where the 7 indicates its once weekly dosage for pain in osteoarthritis.

1. Bi-polar has Extreme Highs and Extreme lows.  Methadone will only bring the highs down but will intensify the lows.\n\n2. If the methadone disk is created to have a "time-release" breaking it up will counter act the time release and you would not get the correct dosage distributed through your system as designed.

Man, if I knew that answer, I would of quit a long time ago! LOL. Try the patch and the gum. Also talk to your doc. He can prescribe Wellbutrin to help you also.\n\nBut ultimately you can try all these I listed, but until you have the mind set and the will power to really want to quit....nothing is going to be successful. You have got to REALLY want to quit first!\n\nGood Luck! :)

It really depends on how much methadone you take, also is your next collection due the next day from the pharmacy? Regular over the counter meds would not really provide you with the help you need. Have you contacted your doctor or drug team for advice?
