Facts

  • The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
  • Sudden cessation of use of methadone at high doses can result in withdrawal symptoms described as "the worst withdrawal imaginable," and can last from weeks to months.
  • Sudden cessation of use of prescription opiates drugs such as morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone results in withdrawal symptoms within six to 12 hours of the last dose.
  • A closely observed, medically managed detoxification gives an individual going through withdrawal a much better chance at a safe and tolerable withdrawal experience.

Ridgely - Methadone Detoxification

Methadone detoxification can be a very uncomfortable and difficult experience. Withdrawal Symptoms usually begin between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the user's last dose of methadone. Typical withdrawal symptoms include: stomach cramps, nausea, sweating, tremors, extreme opiate cravings, irritability, sneezing, fever, vomiting, anxiety, fuzzy-headedness, paranoia, hallucinations and clinical depression. Additionally, these unpleasant methadone withdrawal symptoms tend to continue much longer than heroin withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the dose of methadone you have been taking the symptoms can last for several weeks to several months. Professionals in the field of methadone detoxification share that it is important to gradually decrease your dose of the drug over a period of time instead of stopping all at once.
