There are many things that can cause this. Other medications can do it as well as foods and certain beverages can increase the level of methadone in your system. Drugs used in the treatment of depression and anxiety, such as Elavil®, Triavil®, Endep®, and Limbitrol® (generic name – amitriptyline) may increase plasma levels of methadone, along with Tagamet® (cimetidine), which is used in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Drugs used in the treatment of anxiety, such as Valium® may also have this affect. Fluconazole (Diflucan, a drug used to treat fungal infections) can raise methadone levels by 30% . In one study of this effect, no overdoses were reported. Ketaconazole (Nizoral) can have a similar effect. Also urinary alkalinizers (Bicitra, Polycitra) used to treat gout and kidney stones can also increase the levels of methadone.    Read more...
