I've actually done it more than once. Its pretty unpleasant, not many drugs burn like that (but I havent snorted any RCs, I hear some of those get painful too). But when you're in withdrawal, all you have is methadone, and you don't think your stomach will keep the pill down for an hour, sometimes you end up railing the methadone against your better judgment anyway.
This is more or less the only time I have ever even considered railing methadone aside from a time when I didn't know what "bio-availability" was and just assumed anything taken orally was 10 times better if I snort it! I was wrong, shit burns and is much
more painfully intense as the 2C-I I have tried via the same mechanism; maybe not as intense but after 20m of 8/10 pain you will be lucky to get even marginal relief from a saline flush of your nasal sinuses. I deplore you not to try this, there are more applicable and less painful ways of going about getting your methadone fast. One of these I use on occasion is plugging a solution assuming you have tablets.
While it is well known plugging a solution can make it last longer than taking it intra-nasally; it might not hold you the full 24h if you are on MMT. Luckily I am on a prescription and can take some more or less when I want assuming my mom is lenient enough to hand a couple out as I have asked her to limit me by placing them in her safe; but thats another matter. As for plugging, I tend to be able to start enjoying the affects of the methadone
much faster in comparison to oral administration. I try to time oral use and plugged preparations so that they can both "hit" me at the same time, so I will typically take about 1/2-3/5th my dose orally and wait maybe 45m-90m to plug the rest. Even plugged without the oral addition I will often use it when I need to sleep and pain is keeping me from that, and can't wait another hour or so for it to come on. It usually comes into effect almost fully within 15-25m or earlier sometimes which is a much more acceptable time period of uptake. As others have said, snorting methadone will cut the half-life down, but reguardless of the above mentioned class between what a half-life means, as I stated earlier plugging methadone may not hold you for 24h, and thats why I combine the two; so I can get long-lasting relief and a fast reaction time to help the medication kick in, as when your script is running low and you taper down to almost nothing sometimes you just really need to get the shakes, kicks, and general miserableness out of your system as fast as possible and snorting is just too barbaric in a sense and I can see an easier and far less harmful RoA in plugging.
As for how to do it; I tend to use about 0.75ml of saline/water for every 10mg tablet (Roxane) I have lying around, as something in them can gel at lower concentrations, maybe a mechanism for IV disuasion, who knows. But anyway, if you have a large tolerance and are using upwards of 100mg you might need to use a 5-10ml syringe to get the whole solution administered in one go, but I have no trouble using my 3ml syringes twice or three times when I use like 6-10 x 10mg tablets; just I highly advise something more than 1ml syringes because it can get downright commically-depressing needing to administer a solution 10 times to get even an acceptable high. But anyways, OP, PM me if you want or AIM at "FlyWithCloudNine" as click my aim icon will let you know.
I've been prescribed methadone 10mg q4d for the past 3 years. I usually eat 40 to 60 mgs then snort 20 mgs at a time throughout the day. I don't keep score, but I probably end up taking a total of 100 mgs or more, per day, til I get low on supply. Then I back off to 10 to 20 mgs per day til my renewal comes in. Probably a dangerous thing to do, but I get high as a fly in a gluebag!
Maybe you could try the above-mentioned plugging alternative and save your nose the desperation? Its not "gay" in any way really, and hardly much of anything noticeable unless you plan on using a huge-ass 50ml application device
!
Also see you have found about 1/2 oral and 1/2 by nasal/plugged is the way to go for both analgesic/sedation and to keep it lasting as long as it should... :D
What I want to know is why nobody's talking about dissolving their methadone?
Just went back on the Methadone-- by choice. The MS Contin wasn't doing it for me- no pain relief. Alas, read a thread here about plugging them when I was down to like, 3 pills; so the last three of them I really, really enjoyed! But today was a toss-up. I no longer have insurance, so by the time I self-pay at the doctor, then the pharmacy and a $50 cab ride (I live in the middle of NOWHERE) I'm broke. Today I was really short on cash. I needed something I could afford to fill right away, today, because I've been out of meds about 2 days and would've been puking sick by this afternoon.
So I asked my doc to put me back on the Methadone. It's ridiculously cheap. 240 of them cost me $30- can you believe it? I pay $300 for my oxys and was paying $170 for the MS Contin. So, I'll fill my Oxys on Thursday when my check comes and until then, got my Methadone.
They work great for me. As someone else said, one 10mg tab lasts all day if you're running low. I was on these things before, couple years back (90mg a day) so my tolerance for these things is pretty good. I NEVER snort them. I've never plugged them. I dissolve them in some water water and just shoot em back. I find they kick in a little quicker that way.
I used to drink up 120mg cocktails and nod blissfully all night long. Since I've been off them a while, I'm starting slow; chewed 2 outside the pharmacy, waiting for the cab, then dissolved another 50 mg when I got home. I went from sick as hell to right as rain.
So, to encapsulate, that's my vote: dissolve the methadone in a little warm water- not a lot, it doesn't taste so hot, yo.
I am..
But yeah, I have basically been called a "good for nothing queer-fuck of a junky just not taking it in the ass for drugs.....yet" by my ass-hat of a father (another topic) who is just as dependent or more so even than I am at 320mg as 8 x 40mg of brand name Oxycontins a day. As soon as his worker's compensation claim was dissolving his coverage he finally realised how expensive his medications are; fucker was draining the coffers of the company almost $1,400 a month. Once he was more or less forced to pay out of pocket until he was able to re-establish that he was indeed covered and they made a mistake he was unable to pay for his drugs and his doctor recomended methadone as a temporary substitute due to the cost profile-comparison. For those 2-3 months until they started paying up (and reimbursed) for the Oxycontin he was on a high dose of methadone (I think ~200mg/day) and it only cost him like $60-something for a couple hundred tablets which is almost a 25-fold decrease in out of pocket expense for a pain-killer. He never officially became a "good for nothing queer-fuck of a junky just not taking it in the ass for drugs.....yet" but I found a discarded bottle and overheard an arguement about his money out of pocket expenses for drugs burning a hole in the family's savings and saw receipts of just how ungodly cornered the market was by Purdue. Fucker won't even take back what he said to me that one time either and refuses to admit he "took that junkie-juice" and that he instead took it for pain... yeah... Ok....
