Question, I am on 80 milligrams of methadone per day for opiate addiction, I have a killer toothache right now and my dentist prescribed vicodin, I have 2 questions, forst of all will the vicodin even work with me being on the methaonde?
second, do you think my clinic will kick me out for taking the vicodins even though I need them for pain?

The vicodin won't work at all.Keep the bottle and take it in with you when you go to the clinic next.Your better off taking advil really.Vicodins are **** even when your not on methadone but since your on a blocking dose you won't benifit from them at all.I took 1,000mg of morphine for my back and I didn't even know I'd taken it.Try the advil or Motrin I think you will be surprised,I was....Dave

yeah ,probably just you off ,advil or ibprophen will probably help -im with M --even regular tylenol --and why doesnt the dentist know about your meth treatment

What you should probably do is inform all of your healthcare providers that you are on Methadone. If they don't prescribe an opiate alternative, they will suggest one. If you take opiates while on methadone, it completely reverses and trashes the goal of the methadone. Don't throw all that treatment away on accident! Check every medication you take with your doctor.

Jesus Christ will help you through. -Betsy

Actually what will happen is you will just waste the opiates because the methadone will block the effects.That's why it's best to try Advil or Motrin or even Tylenol.....Dave
