Methadone Maintanence

[jgoggans]

Hello,

I began a Methadone Maintanence Program 9 days ago, with my 2nd dose coming today. During the interview stage with a counselor, I was told that caffeine would adversely affect the Methadone I was receiving. Is this true? And if so, is there some sort of chemical reaction or interference at the opiate receptors, or is she just generalizing about the effects of caffeine on patients in this type of program?

Thanx...

So I started methadone treatment about 2 weeks ago I started off 21 day detox and now i am finally on maintenance i will post my story later but what im wondering when i started 1st day of detox on 30 mg it seemed to really help then they started tapering it was getting really bad finally got on maintenance and they started me again on 30 mg but it doesnt seem to be helping as much is it going to get better after 7 days or do you think i need a bit higher does. For info I was taking about 15 10/325s a day before detox. Would really appreciate help. thank you!

Chad,

I laughed my ass off when you mentioned the marriage of those 2 characters. Yeah, they got a little out of line, and I think that banned is what they got. Nice to see you here Chad.... Also, nice to see all of you "Veterans" from another board checking back in here!

Last I heard Chatahan & Hellbent got married and are living torried lives full of machetes and telling each other "stories" of the good ole' days.

Anyway, they both got banned for being way out of hand, and not having any control over themselves and their postings. (as far as I could see it).
That and hellbents truthmeter I think was broke.

Bmac is right. For those of us who have been here a while, we have recognized the fact you can meet people here that just may be there for you or vs. for a long time.

Hey no big deal, it's what we do around here.
Hellbent was a guy that always started trouble and could never get past it! We all have had fights and arguements here and sometimes things get ugly but we are all addicts so the management 'Cindy and Phil' put up with our **** because we help people and we were there just a few short months ago.
You can find friends for life here. You need to post alot and get it all out!   Bill
