Methadone adverse reaction

[Diana641]

This is my first time to take a methadone tablet and I took two because the first one wasn't working. I took them for extreme pain associated with interstitial cystitis and pelvic pain due to a cystic ovary that ruptured, causing peritonitis.The Medical community that I see are reluctant to prescribe anything that I tell them that works when I have these problems, which is not all of the time. I don't understand that. It pushes people to find pain relief that is oftentimes not ideal and dangerous besides as I don't really know what strength of pills I took. I am worse now. I am having some problems with the side affects and posssibly interactions with other medications that I regularly take. I am afraid to go to sleep for fear I will stop breathing. My skin is breaking out in rashes and I am experiencing a lot of itching. My blood pressure will not stabilize and I am getting scared. My stomach is swollen and I have urinary retention(just what I don't need with the IC) Is it safe to take Phenobarbital for seizures(something I normally am prescribed) and lorazepam as my neck is getting stiff Maybe from stress or sheer terror of what I have done. When will this methadone wear off??? Please if you are there ,talk to me. I feel as though I am extremely nauseated. I took these methadone pills about 9 hours ago, been up all night .Can I go to sleep now? Please help. Diana641

yes it is dangerous for her to take it together but it makes it even worse cause she is having an allergic reaction, she will eventually stop breathing if she dont start blocking the it, and that what the benadryl does till she can get to the er she needs to go as of 2 hour ago.
im not trying to be  mean but i dont wanna see anything happen to her.

she just contacted me she is still awake

Then you know you how danerous it is to take lorazapam and methadone alone without mixxing it with anything else and that her best bet is to go to a doctor ASAP

[scaredmommie]

i may not be a doctor but before i had kids i was a nurse. so i do know what to do, she is having an allergic reaction, and it will not go away.

Oh Lisa thank you....thats the most important issue to consider when giving advice to this woman about what to do...shes NOT an addict....She doesn't have her tolerance built up the way most of us did before we started taking the methadone.I was taking at least 20 7.5 mg of vicodin a day for years before I got on methadone and I sustained on 30 mgs of methadone,just 10 more mgs then what this woman,who is Not an addict took for the first time today,along with valium and phenobarbital.She could be in extreme danger right now and needs to contact some type of medical professional.

yes I think it is clear on what she took, hopefully she is not taking anymore...I gotta go to physical therapy you all help this girl out, she obviously needs to be aware of what can happen, its just scary even with opiod dependent people, when you first take methadone, its different than other opiates in its effects. One thing I learned I never saw a 20mg methadone pill before, not that I want to now, but I've never seen one. Learned something...good luck
