Redosing plugged methadone

Now I know redosing oral methadone after coming up from a few hours wouldn't add to the high really in any way, but I actually plugged my dose about 3 hours ago. I started feeling it within 30 minutes or so and came up a lot faster than oral.

Would plugging another 5mg add to the high at all or just prolong it ? I don't think it would put me at risk of OD. I had 35mg of hydrocodone last night and had 10mg of oral methadone on Monday night so I must have a slight tolerance.
 
IME it would just prolong the effects you're already getting. I would save the 5mg for later but that just my opinion.

Hope that helps. :)
 
Yea Ive decided to do just that. I was nodding out like crazy a couple minutes ago. I got all paranoid im close to OD but I can breath normaly just having a hard time staying awake.

Thanks anyways !
 
Yea methadone does that to me too, even a day or two after taking it I'm prone to hurl or have side effects. Its a strange one with the nod coming out of nowhere sometimes...this is why I prefer more predictable opiates. :)

Happy to hear you're still with us..be careful with that 'done it has taken too many people already. :)
 
I certainly am careful. Overly much so lol. I have 15mg left and wont be takng it for a few days. That damn half life.

Now Ive never experienced any bad side effects with it unless you count extreme sleepiness and nodding out lol. Other than that I highly enjoy the high.
 
Excuse me for my ignorance on this subject, but what is "plugging?"

The rectal ROA, basically putting the drug up your butt hole. :)

Before you go off thinking he's cramming a pill up there I should tell you that most people use an oral syringe. Basically you mix your drug of choice with however much water your syringe holds, mix well, then pull the solution up into your syringe. Next you lay on your side, find the bung hole and push the syringe about (minus needles of course!) about a inch or so up your poop shooter. You have to get it far enough in there that you reach the blood vessels.

Once you're in far enough you push the plunger down, and wait about 5-15 minutes for the effects to take hold. Plugging is usually just below IV on the scale of effective ROAs. Some drugs have a really high BA through this ROA, and people like me who aren't IV users find it to be the best ROA for some drugs (like morphine for example, where you get 30% or so if you take it orally, where the rectal ROA is much higher..like at least 60% or more and it also hits you like a ton of bricks).

A lot of people have a phobia about plugging, thinking it will turn them "gay" and saying things like "that hole is exit only!". I was the same way until I came upon a large supply of morphine. I finally tried plugging it because orally it wasn't doing the trick, these days I plug every now and again. It depends on the substance I'm using and if I have 15-20 minutes to myself. Obviously plugging is something that I can't do in a social setting. :)

If you need more information use the search engine, we have entire megathreads on the subject of plugging.
 
It honestly takes me less than 3-5 minutes to plug just about anything. Put pill or powder in my ramekin, stir until it dissolves (or crush pill beforehand with my scale weight if its known to dissolve slowly), suck up, lay on my side and plug. I wait maybe 15 seconds before getting back up and going about whatever I was doing. No reason to wait any longer, noting is going to leak out unless you're plugging stupid high mLs of water. I never really use more than 3-4mL.

I plug just about anything that is worth plugging. I'd even plug my xanax if it offered any increase in BA. After taking MXE daily for about a year, I can only ever plug it anymore. Any other ROA just doesn't give the same pleasant effects.

After plugging for almost a year I've got it down with ease. I see no reason to take any drug orally or intranasally (which i despise) unless it's BA is significantly higher.

It's really all about onset though. I don't really have any desire to IV and plugging is the next best thing without using a needle.
