Hey I got a 40mg pill of methadone and I have no tolerance to opiates. How dangerous is this? my cousin gaved it to me, his tolerance isnt much, but medium. He said 40mg should be reasonably safe. Is it to high? or will I live?
 
40mg of methadone is way too much for an opioid naive person. Try starting with 5-7mg depending on your body weight. Do not take more than 10mg if it is your first time with methadone. And wait at least 2 hours before you take any more - methadone can take quite a while to take full effect.

Methadone is very potent and long-lasting and many people have died of overdose from it. 10mg of methadone is equivalent to 10-20mg oral/IV oxycodone or IV morphine. (closer to 20mg in most users)
 
Can I do 20mg because I can just cut the pill in half lol anyway, is it possible to nod out on methadone??
 
Do not take more than 10mg if it is your first time with methadone.
At least split the half of your pill into half again. Don't be surpised if 10mg of methadone makes you very sick. If you have no opioid tolerance, methadone is a bad drug to do.

Methadone is a very sedating opiate, you will probably nod out.
 
yeah don't go over 10 for your first time i took a 5/500 vicodin my first time taking an opioid and i felt great and thats like 2.5mg of methadone
 
Dude, 40mg methadone with no tolerance in all seriousness would probably kill you.

Start with 10mg and remember that it takes 3 hours for it to kick in all the way and reach peak levels in your serum.

So don't even think about redosing for another 12 hours if you're new to this. Remember that when you redose, you'll still have a shitload of methadone in your system from the first dose, which is a frequent way people OD.

Okay thank you for your advice :)<3
 
This is why I love BL.

Harm Reduction in action.

Count yourself lucky, Pars101, that you are aware of and were intelligent enough to use a place where this information is freely shared, as it quite possibly just saved your life.


Also, tell your cousin about BL. Sounds like he could use it too.
 
Wow....BL saves the day again. So grateful that this resource exists, and there are so many other compassionate, intelligent and caring people here at Bluelight.
 
i'll be a sheep and say 10mg (for HR's sake), start with 10mg it will get you a feel for the methadone effect wait 3 hours and if its not strong enough, add 5mg wait another 3 hours if you're still not "where you want to be".. that being said 10mg for someone who weighs 60-kg is probably equivalent to over 15mg for someone who weighs 100+kg imo

IME seeing others taking methadone for the first time, and their reaction to 20mg, and 40mg for some of the more stupid friends who didn't take my advice, which was 20mg max, they survived fine (i think nthey did not take any other cns depressants at the same time) 10mg is playing it very safe.. but it also depends, do you want a light high, or do you want nod....

so i guess tbh, dose 10mg, but there is very little danger in redosing 10mg 3 hours after IF the effect of the initial 10mg is very light (and i repeat this is only appliable if you take NO other CNS depressants)

also people some people metabolise methadone way faster than others.... and some way slower, making it a gamble to redose because you don't feel very high, when the methadone is in fact only half way to its "peak" effect (this goes for people who have not used, or rarely used methadone and don't know exactly how they will react to it...
 
I want to nod out. That is my goal, that is why I want to do it mainly, to experience it. To be honest 10mg seems like a pretty low dose for that, but I havnt tried it so I dont know, would 20mg be a more reasonable, yet safe dose? I diff would not go above 20mg after everyone's advice!

lol I have no idea why he said 40mgs would be okay, he is pretty damn experiences with opiates, he lives in Iran so his been buying and smoking real opium for agais/ has just started experimenting with methadone. Maybe 40mg was his dose/ with his tolerance lol! damn just imagine if he killed me with a 40mg pill :))

How is it possible to redose if it takes 3 houres to kick in? I dont understand, I mean of course you can redose, but the peaks wont be stacked on top of each other, so whats the point?

How long till it peaks usually

i have all kinds of benzo's in my system and i have a huge hydro tolerance and i have only had three norco 7.5's in the afternoon when i got up along with 60 mg's of valium.
it's like 11 pm now and all i have is 3 10mg's dones which i have never tried .is it ok too take maybe 10mg's and be alright? im just thinking about the half life of all the benzo's i have been taking for months and all the hydro wich is like 100 mg's + daily. any advise would be appreciated...
 
^NO.

Taking Methadone for the first time with all sorts of benzo's in your system is probably one of the worst things you can do, other than play a few rounds of Russian roulette. Methadone is way more potent, 3-4x stronger (possibly more, all these equivelency charts very slightly). It also has a half life that is way longer, and an onset that is way slower. Methadone and benzo's, when combined wrecklessly, is an incredibly dangerous cocktail.

There's about 96% chance you'll die after 40mg

You're cousin is a piece of shit by the way. I would try to find better ware-bouts.

DO NOT PROCEED.

wait 24 hours don't mix such potent CNS depressants that's inviting death to your door with a red carpet and limousine ride.
 
Well his not really so.. this is a bit awkward. He might have been referring to the dose he does which is 40mg.
 
I heard from my uncle that methadone is starting to get big in Iran...I guess bc of the convenience of a pill. I'd choose opium/pods over 'done ANY day but to each his own. Yeah, just do 10mg every 2-3 hours until you are where you wanna be. Just know that this is a slippery path so be careful.
 
You from Iran? if so thats awesome. Yea it is getting really big, and its not hard to get because technically its not illegal, you can quite easily get it from some pharmacies if you have the right "connections" as does my cousin. It is also alot more convenient than opium it self, no smell etc.. and more duration.

Im going to smoke raw opium/ try methadone. Yea it can diff be a slippery path if your not careful. I wonder if there is any oxycodone in Iran.
