OP, please disregard the post above, it's not true and potentially dangerous.

10mg methadone is much stronger than the OP's already stated tolerance of 20mg hydrocodone. 10mg methadone = wayyyy too much for the OP.

He should take 5mg tops, if he's never done methadone before it would probably be a good idea to dose in two increments of 2.5mg not sooner than 6 hours apart. Methadone is an EXTREMELY potent opioid narcotic, one that is chronically underestimated by an unacceptable number of people, which invites overdose. I bet out of all the opioids people overdose on, methadone accounts for a very large percentage of that.

It's not a very recreational opioid if you ask me, it's a damn good tool, but as a toy, I find it lacking many of the other qualities we look for in the other classical opioids (morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, oxymorphone) like the strong euphoria, it just isn't there with methadone. It's more of a super sedating heavy nod type feeling, which I suppose would be ideal for people who use opioids to escape reality or otherwise disconnect themselves from the world, but I really don't think most people who are taking drugs like hydrocodone would enjoy methadone in the slightest.

It's extremely long duration and high potency (2-4x potent as oxycodone) can be very unnerving to new users who are not expecting or prepared for being so high for so long.

EDIT: OP, wtf,
my tolerance is 120-180 oxy daily over 2 years

Is your tolerance 20mg hydrocodone, or 180mg oxycodone?
 
sorry should be more clear it takes me 20 mg of hydro or oxy to feel anything and by the time the day is done illl have done either 160 of oxy or 140 of hydro
 
I'd start off with 10mg, and wait another day before you try a higher dose. You don't know just how it will effect you, so no point in risking dosing to high. Most likely if you can handle a single dose of 120mg of oxycodone, you'd be able to get high from 25-35mg of methadone. When I would take a single dose (not spread out over the day) 120mg dose of oxycodone I could get high from 30-40mg of methadone. I actually really really loved the methadone high before I started using it regularly. It honestly was one of my favorite highs ever.
 
Okay, something that should be known about methadone is that it is not them most euphoric opioid by any means, in fact, I would argue that it's recreational potential is very limited, and calculating an equivalent dose is very hard to do as you have to take other factors into consideration such as half life. Even if you calculated an equipotent dose of methadone to the amount of hydrocodone it takes for you to get high, that also doesn't mean that at that dose (which would be low), that you would get high off the methadone. It just means that that dose would most definitely keep you out of withdrawals.

It has been my experience that the amount of methadone needed to get a euphoric side effect varies widely from the amount one would need to ward away withdrawals. For instance, when I was using a bundle of East Coast Heroin a day, 20mg would keep me straight for at least 17 hours, however, it would take nearly 2x that dose to feel any sort of "buzz".
 
I'd maybe try 15mg, but still suggest 10mg. Wouldn't go over that for your first time. And redosing is a no no when it comes to methadone.
 
Well if you only took 5mg, taking another 5mg wouldn't be that risky. Its just when you get up to higher doses it becomes really dangerous to redose as the half-life is extremely long. People have taking a dose during the day, then redosed 12-18 hour later and died because of the redose.
 
ok so i took 5 mg of methadone a few hours ago so are you saying i cant take the other 5 mg later

I don't think you should honestly, due to the large amount of oxycodone you're consuming. Yes, you're tolerant to it, but your definitely not tolerant to the + methadone combo, and methadone really synergizes exponentially with other opioids in my experience. Save the 5mg for another day.

I do not think taking an extra 5mg will present any problems. I used to use alot of methadone and my friend who almost never takes opioids needed 15-20mg to catch a buzz at first when I offered him some. 5mg of methadone really is nothing, I have never seen anyone get high of that dose. Most people need at least 10-20mg even if they are opiate naive.
