Opioids Me vs my methadone thread

[Coffeeshroom]

Today was one of those days a did bump my dose and used some other meds with ot to help out. Once again I'm happy.

Especially swwing as I have dropped my weekly dose already with 10mg in the last month and want o continue to get all the way down to 5mg ad a maintenance dose. The possibilities and doors open then will be so awesome

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade or close the thread down. I should know these things myself. Do we have a Methadone megathread? It seems like that would be more suitable for open-ended posts like this. The nature of having a post that actually consists of several different objective and situations ultimately makes for an impossible to navigate structure. I am not against anything you're discussing here, but if it's for the purpose of others learning from it, it would probably be better to separate these posts into constituent threads.

There have been SOOOOOOO many threads dedicated to the potentiation of Opioids including Methadone it's crazy. Again, I'm not hating on this thread, but a lot of what you have discussed here has already been covered 10 times over in previous threads.

I know as a "guy in recovery" I can sound like a broken record. I would be missing an opportunity here not to point out:

Potentiating an Opioid begins a process in which you're going to experience these stronger effects for 3 or maybe 4 days before you're back to homeostasis. At that point, you're just stuck with a need to acquire something else for your drugs to work properly. There are side effects produced by drugs like Omeprazole (Prilosec) that I'm sure could contribute to your overall health if taken for weeks. months or years.

It's always going to be more sustainable just to get the proper dose of the medication than to fiddle around with potentiation.

Hey Kief but I hmdud do another of research on this thread but also to o ly fi d it spreadout and not in onepot like you would like it and me two, so my means was to initially have it as a HR and more informative thread about the subject at hand apart just the potentiality factor.

But I get you honestly I wouldn't mind if you want to move it or something..
