Methadone 5mg? - Pain Management Message Board

Hello friends,

Is anyone out there on the methadone 5mg tablets? If so, could you tell me what they look like? My friend found some pills in her step-daughter dresser at their house. Apparently her Mom is on methadone and my friend is worried that she is stealing them or something (teenager with history of drug use). I know they aren't the same as my 10mg tablets. They are small, round, white, with a M in a square on one side and a 5 on the other side. I'd appreciate anyone's input. My friend is at her wits end and doesn't want to accuse or even tell her husband about it without being sure...

thanks guys!
Tina

wow, i hope not, but any pills that someone has that isnt perscribed to them is going to be a problem.....and if someone is taking methadone, worry about a bigger problem like them taking oxyC and using methadone as an interim drug so they dont go throw withdrawles....
