So, I’m on methadone maintenance but am craving an opiate high badly .
I think I started on just 20mg and the doc was very slow with dose increases cause of some health issues I have, and I kept testing positive for benzos. The benzo positive was cause that dose didn’t cover me and I was smoking gear on top that was cut with them, I wasn’t taking them intentionally. I think if he was faster I’d have ended up on a larger dose, but shockingly 40 actually covers me (atleast mostly, may need one more increase but he wasn’t willing to go beyond 40 with me testing positive for benzos). I’ve now been on methadone since January 7th.
For awhile I kept smoking gear on it even when I was on 40 for a bit and felt like it was actually enough. In the very beginning I felt like I got a bit of a high when I smoked on it, but as the dose increased and it built in my system I got nothing — what I got in the beginning was very weak too, not a proper high but I wasn’t searching for that then. I’ve smoked multiple sheets back to back on it and not got anything significant but I am tolerant. Unsure how much is tolerance and how much is methadone potentially blocking euphoria — I know people say it starts at higher doses, but maybe it’s individual? If 40 is keeping withdrawal at bay, then maybe it’s saturating my receptors enough to interfere or something?
Today I took 140mg of oxy orally, and then 20 after an hour (finishing what I had left from before I moved from oxy to gear). And don’t really feel much of anything, no high to speak of outside of a hint of it but that could have just been in my head. This is before taking my meth — I’ll take it in the afternoon when the oxy has worn off (I mean I’m not feeling it, but seems like a good idea to wait).
The methadone does not get me high in any way. I don’t even feel it, no high, no sedation, it’s like I’m drinking air outside of keeping w/d away. I’ve used G, pregabs and irregular, low doses of Diaz on it (after getting off cut gear, to squash anxiety before appointments I had to attend) and been ok. Passed out after taking 900mg of pregab in two doses, 300 more at two hours — scared me a little but I was ok and it was like 8-9 hours after taking pregab so I was past peak. I’m just saying this to say that methadone def increases risk no question, I think the risk is lower, if still there, than someone on a higher dose who gets a bit of a high off it every day though.
I’m intending to inject some heroin. Please don’t leave comments saying don’t inject. I’m gonna try it so if you respond please can we do harm reduction, I’m not gonna practice abstinence. I know any comments like that are well intentioned but it’s not gonna stop me in this case. I used to inject before I got clean for awhile but in this relapse I never injected, just smoked and plugged a little bit towards the end while I was waiting for appointment to start treatment.
I avoided injecting cause of how dodgy gear is these days but It seems like the only way I might get a high. I’m just looking for advice on how to get an opiate high on methadone, how do you guys do it? I know there’s other threads like this, the couple I found though the circumstances were different enough that it didn’t quite apply to me so I figured I’d make a thread.
Right now I don’t have takehomes cause I kept testing positive for benzos and opiates. I get a take home for Sunday tho, or I can skip a day (up to two days can be missed, three and my script is cancelled and I have to get a new one from the doc), they won’t stop treatment over skipped days even if they don’t like it. I’m thinking I’ll either skip a day or not take the Sunday dose and inject starting with quite a low dose that I know won’t do much and work my way up. Do you guys think I’ll be able to catch a high this way? I’m just desperate to feel an even halfway decent opiate high.
I know there are people on methadone that skip days and use and get high, how do they do it? Is it just larger doses?
Thank you for any help here! (Also sorry for the long, rambling post — I struggle to be concise)
