I'm a heroin addict trying to get sober with the help of methadone. I'm currently on 170 mg and still use a couple of bags of heroin each night because the methadone doesn't hold me for a full 24 hours. I've been feeling sick earlier than usual and using heroin seems to make it worse. I took an additional 20 mg of methadone today, totaling 190 mg, and feel better but still had to use heroin. I'm afraid I might overdose, especially with ongoing minor withdrawal symptoms and constant panic. Can I overdose even though I'm going through minor withdrawal, or am I worrying for nothing?

I had a knee fracture and I am 250 lbs. A family member was turning me and we heard a pop. Upon going to the doctor, I found out I had low potassium. Could that have caused the fracture?

I have recently weaned myself off Oxy Contin after using it for a serious back injury. I am experiencing severe panic attacks, exhaustion, lack of appetite, diarrhea, shakes, and difficulty functioning. My doctors have prescribed Valium, but I am still struggling. Are these symptoms normal, and how long will they last?

Hi Dr. Basu, Dr. Thomas suggested I be tested for Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth (SIBO). Is this something you would suggest? I ask because I was reading how the MD normally treats it, and it said they use amoxicillin. I just got off a 14-day cycle of amoxicillin, and while it was amazing with the other issue, I'm not sure it's the right direction to go. Thanks, doctor!
