my son passed away due to over dose of methadone his blood reading showed 700 nanog/ML how many pills did he t

That is a hard answer, as you didn't say what amount of dosage he was taking.  However, I think that if you really want to know, you should ask a Doctor, or possibly a pharmacist, but I would ask the Dr. first.  \n\nI think maybe you should let this question go, as it really doesn't matter how many he took.  And knowing will not bring him back.\n\nTry to remember him when he was happy, and keep that picture of him in your heart.

There are 1000 micrograms in a milligram, so 150 mcg = 0.150mg

Too much is 1000 micrograms a day (which is one miligram).\n\nThe reason ther is an upper limit set by the government is because it can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency.\n\nIf you take around 15mg a day (which is A LOT), you may have insomnia, malaise, irritability and GI distress.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

Let me get this straight.....You're taking 12 milg of Xanax before you get on the plane?  Or, you're bringing 12milg with you?  I would make sure I have the pharmacy bottle with your name on it.  They checked my son's bottle which was in his carry on.

No this is a scheduled drug that need to me monitored\nby a doctor, not an online doctor. They have to do blood\nwork to get your dose correct. See a real doctor, and get\nthe help you need.\nSUBOXONE and SUBUTEX are indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence.

1. TRAZODONE ALONE - Of 820 trazodone overdose cases reported in 1985 to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, one death in a 64-year-old patient was noted from trazodone alone, and 3 deaths from multiple ingestants (Litovitz et al, 1986). \n2. TRAZODONE WITH COINGESTANTS - Nine deaths have been described following ingestion of 400 to 3650 milligrams of trazodone in combination with other drugs, including one case where alcohol was the only co-ingestant (Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \n3. A reported fatal case was due to drowning (Demorest, 1983). \na. Accidental ingestion of 200 milligrams in a 6-year-old child did not result in signs or symptoms (Ali & Henry, 1986). \nb. A 10-year-old who ingested an unspecified amount had abdominal pain only. \n2. INFANT \na. In 4 children aged 1.2 to 2 years, ingestion of 50 to 500 milligrams of trazodone resulted in no complications (Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \n3. ADULT \na. Ingestion of 2 to 3 grams has produced respiratory arrest (Flomenbaum & Price, 1986; Gamble & Peterson, 1986). \nb. Drowsiness and ataxia have been reported after 4 to 5 grams (Henry et al, 1984). \nc. Bradycardia and hypotension were reported after 1 gram (Dubot et al, 1986). \n1. A normal upper therapeutic blood concentration of trazodone is reported to be 2.0 milligrams/liter. Fatalities due to trazodone alone are rarely seen with post mortem blood concentrations below 9.0 milligrams/liter (Georinger et al, 2000). \n2. Peak plasma levels after single therapeutic doses have ranged from 700 to 1070 nanograms/milliliter after 50 milligrams and 2500 nanograms/milliliter after 200 milligrams (Catanese & Lisciane, 1970; Ankier, 1981; Putzolu et al, 1976). \n3. Levels as high as 15,000 and 19,000 nanograms/milliliter have been described after overdoses of 4 to 5 grams. Blood levels as high as 28 micrograms/milliliter (28,000 nanograms/milliliter) have been reported to the manufacturer (Pers Comm, 1987). \na. In these 2 patients drowsiness and ataxia were the only manifestations of toxicity. \n4. Coma was described in a patient with a level of 4,200 nanograms/milliliter 18 hours after admission and in a patient with a level of 8,200 nanograms/milliliter 20 hours after admission (Henry et al, 1984). Both of these had co-ingestants which may have contributed to coma. \n5. A post mortem blood level of 32.91 milligrams/liter of trazodone has been reported in an acute trazodone, fluoxetine and ethanol overdose in a 32-year-old which resulted in death (Goeringer et al, 2000).

Wow i actually had to go read the article because i didn't believe it was true! That is the most insane thing I've seen in a long time. It's also kind of odd that personal use is defined as four joints but 2.2 pounds of peyote, 25 milligrams of heroin, or 4 lines of cocaine. It makes you wonder if the officials there have their hands all in the hard drug market. I hate to say but most people who buy weed buy more than 4 joints worth at once. Also i remember a few years ago watching something on TV about the problem of Cali kids crossing the borders and drinking over there in Mexico so now the can go do a line, roll on X or shot a little heroine before coming home. What a ridiculous thing. Heroine ruins lives. My dad was on it way back before i was born but he stayed on methadone till he died. One trip to the methadone clinic is all it takes to show you what happens when you do heroine. you know that big tall fence idea is sounding better by the minute.

Because street heroin is poison. Unless your son was taking a safe dose of pure heroin and someone put something toxic into that heroin without his knowledge, people will assume that your son knew he was putting street heroin in his body and is the person who is most responsible for his death. Injecting street heroin into your body is not unlike playing russian roulette. While we will never know everything that was in the heroin you son took, we know that he was taking something that would harm him. I'm sorry that this answer is an over-simpliication. You will have to read a few books to get an good explanation, this issue is very complicated. There are many people who are indirectly responsible for your son's death. There is something else that murdered your son, Americas drug policy. Pure heroin does'nt kill anyone unless they take too high a dose. Nobody dies from overdoses of pure heroin, its the highly adulterated street heroin that kills people. During world war 1 they outlawed alcohol, heroin and a few other addictive drugs. This stopped law abiding people from using or selling heroin. Heroin addicts who could'nt stop using it, found someone else to buy it from. Pharmacists stopped selling it to their customers. Criminals started selling it to their victims. The problems that were caused by illegal heroin became a deterrent. Most people never use heroin because it is so dangerous. If you use heroin in the U.S. you risk becoming an addict, which is something that will probably kill you. Before 1916 addiction to opiate drugs was common, only addictions to alcohol and nicotine were more common. After they made narcotics a crime, opiate addiction was nearly eliminated. The law enforcement community wants to eliminate heroin so nobody can buy it, but they know that this is impossible, so they continue to fight a war on drugs, because so many more people would be addicted, if it were not difficult to obtain drugs. Your son was one of the casualties of this war. His is one of the many deaths that show people that they should never use heroin. The people in the drug trade would prefer that the drugs they sell never harmed anyone, these people are their customers so they want them to go on living. The drugs they sell may kill people, but only unintetionally. Many people who write laws and enforce them know that it is the illegal heroin that kills people, not the legal heroin they use overseas. They have decided that heroin should be kept illegal because a few people are killed, so many will not become addicted. You will disagree with me on some things, but the more you learn about heroin, the more you will agree with me.

check the amount in each pill...sometimes there's more b-12 in a pill with the one you get from prescription.  otherwise, it's usually the same medicine.

I'd have to bet you need math in order to find out how many pills of a certain medicine are required for a specific dose.  And you need to know how much of a dose a certain person needs.

IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC PAIN YOU NEED TO SEE A PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST. MY FATHER WHO ALSO HAS BEEN TAKE METHADONE FOR PAIN RELIEF WAS JUST TOLD HE NEEDS TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO HIS HEART  DUE TO USING METHADONE. HE NOW ALSO HAS ADDICTION ISSUES FROM INCORRECTLY (SELF-DOSING) TAKING PAIN KILLERS  I.E. CODEINE,MORPHINE, METHADONE, AND OTHERS. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BODY WILL BUILD UP A TOLERANCE TO   ALL PAINKILLERS, UPPING YOUR DOSAGE WILL ONLY MAKE YOU AN ADDICT,

Careful !!  Ana Nicole's son mixed Methadone with Anti-Depressants.  My husband's Cousin's Son mixed Cocaine with Anti-Depressants and was pronounced Brain Dead !!!   Maybe you should ask a Pharmacist, call the pharmacy, they'll let you talk to him/her.  You may be putting yourself in harms way !!

Ask a pharmacist...it would depend on what was in the formula

I heard that same thing about three weeks ago. They said that he supposedly overdosed on 9 "X" pills. But after that it came back that he faked his death and went in the studio to record another song-about that though! It had to be just a rumor..

nothing will happen to him,  its not like he was taking birth control pills or estrogen therapy pills .  vitamins or even prenatal and postnatal vitamins for women have higher doses of calcium and folic acid which men need as well.  so tell your brother that he will be ok.
