Someone gave me a pill yesterday to help
alleviate cramps but didn't tell me what
it was. I have been throwing up since
then, having horrible nausea, am fatigued,
and can't think about anything besides how
horrible i'm feeling. I asked her this
morning and she said it was methadone.
Can someone please tell me how long I am
going to feel this way, what I can do, and
why I am so sick? I need any help I can
get.

Welcome! Never take someone elses
medication as you never know what it is.
Methadone is a presribed medication, I
take it for heavy pain, it is also used
for drug addicts to get off of heroin
which I kind of did not understand because
in a way you are changing from one
medication to another and it takes time to
get off of methadone also but I am sure
that methadone is better than heroin, I
understand that now methadone is being
used on the streets as people are crushing
them, kind of like oxycontin. I am not a
dr so I cannot answer all of your
questions. I just hope that you get over
feeling bad and beeing nauseated and
fatigued. Please do not take me wrong I
am not jumping on you, iy just scares me
when people do this, heck who knows, you
could have had an allergic reaction to it
and it might have killed you. If you are
talking about mestral cramps what I used
to do is to take some hot water with
crushed ginger and stirred it up an let it
disolve, and waited until it cooled down
some and then drank it and put my feet up
for about an hour and it helped me and
alot of others, but it might not help
everyone. If you are not better after
while, I would think about going to the dr
and tell him/her that someone gave you
something for the cramps and it made you
feel this way and you do not know what it
was.
Good luck!
