Any one taking Methadone Should get help to get off it
y 2006, the situation had become so severe the Food and Drug Administration issued a public health warning about methadone. Here’s what it said:
Patients should take methadone exactly as prescribed. Bigger doses can slow or stop breathing and can be fatal.
Patients taking methadone should not start or stop taking other medications or dietary supplements without talking to their health care provider. Taking other medicines or dietary supplements may reduce pain relief. They may also cause a toxic build-up of methadone.
Trouble signs: difficulty breathing, extreme fatigue or sleepiness, blurred vision, inability to think, talk or walk normally, feeling faint, dizzy or confused. If these signs occur, patients should get immediate medical help.
Many people think that because methadone is prescribed by a doctor, it’s safe. The statistics tell us something else. Whether you’re taking methadone as treatment for heroin addiction or for pain – which is what the majority of prescriptions are for these days – and even if you don’t think you have a methadone addiction, you might want to consider other options. Methadone detox in a facility capable of handling prescription drug addiction is the place to start. Technorati Tags: methadone detox, methadone addiction, prescription drug addiction

JP Your sister is amazing
Last night Heather joined an interview with a radio station in Tampa, FL. You could hear her passion and grief as she spoke of losing you to this drug called Methadone. JP you will never be forgotten, in fact many people will learn who you were as your wonderful sister fights to save others from an untimely passing. I am sure as you are watching over her and other families members you carry a smile showing how proud you are of all her efforts, i know I am.

Methadone - can kill...but it also saves lives when used as directed
If JP had died of an insulin overdose would you be building this site to ban insulin? Not likely since most people are helped by insulin and it IS a needed drug for those it does help - my point is, that methadone did take your brother and that is horrible and I am so sorry for your loss, but methadone also SAVES LIVES. There are so many drugs out there that people die from everyday - both narcotic as well as non-narcotic drugs alike. Banning a drug doesn't help anything, trying to figure out why people OD or why people are taking medication and not taking it correctly is what we need to focus on - with your brother it happened to be a narcotic, a strong natcotic at that, that took his life, but there is a place for this medication - that place is in a clinic setting with Dr.'s monitoring it and prescribing it to those that should be taking it. I don't know why, how, when your brother took his lethal dose, but don't let him die in vain - get to the root of the problem, not the symptoms - WHY DID HE TAKE IT? That is what needs to be addressed and once that question is answered, then you can focus on others who want to take drugs for similiar reasons, whether it is to "forget pain" or to "get through a tough time" or simply to "catch a buzz" - - once we get to the root of WHY kids are medicating themselves, we will all be better off.
Thanks and again, I am so sorry for your loss......
