Question by dena_girl26: Alternatives to Methadone for Babies?
My sister was taking Methadone while pregnant and after she had her son, he was put on Methadone because they started seeing withdrawal symptoms. She is now taking him to a different Pediatrician and she has never dealt with a baby on Methadone before. She lowered his dose a couple of times and has now completely taken him off of it but now has him on phenobarbital. He cries all time and doesn’t sleep at night AT ALL!!! My question is this – is there an alternative medication besides phenobarbital and methadone that he could be taking to help him with the withdrawal symptoms? I have read a little bit about buprenorphine but it seems like it is only for adults. Just serious answers please, I am trying to help my nephew!
I understand where you are all coming from, but here is the entire situation. My sister doesn’t have a car, has to take a bus or get a ride to appointments, is on Medicaid so is limited to doctors/pediatricians, and is on Methadone herself! She likes this pediatrician because she is really “trying” to learn. I myself would have taken him to someone who already had experience in it. I also tried to get her to go to Chicago to a methadone treatment place and I would pay but no luck!    Read more...

Question by DynoDiKk: What do you think of my article?
Methadone and Harmd. Is Harmd doing more harm?
I am here to write my opinion on HARMD. This means; “Helping America Reduce Methadone Deaths”.
Although their intentions might be good or in their own mind considered good. H.A.R.M.D. is disseminating lies about the drug Methadone. A co-founder of this organzition experienced a horrible tragedy in regards to the admintration of this drug in a professional medical setting.

Question by Answering: can someone tell me how the methadone clinics work?

Best answer:

Answer by penpallermel
They were addicts; heroin, morphine and prescription pain medication. Now patients at a local methadone clinic, these once addicted men and women can “go back home”. They can go to school and go to work and participate in life without the incapacitating aspects of narcotics such as Morphine, OxyContin® or other opiate based drugs such as heroin and Percocet.

Methadone treatment is the beginning of a new life. A life free from the once, twice, and three times a day doses of heroin and other opiates that it would take just to feel “normal”. Withdrawal is often painful, but with methadone treatment withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opiates diminish. The ability to focus on life’s daily activities, goals and family are restored. You DO get your life back.    Read more...
