Hey yall,
Swim is a pretty laid back guy, but he is the type to try anything once.

On friday night at around 8:30pm Swim's buddy came by and brought 45ml of liquid methadone.

Swim took 15mls and his buddy took the other 30ml.
Since his friend takes it a lot his tolerance is thru the roof. Needless to say he was fine.

It is now 4:30pm on Sunday and Swim is still wrecked! (tho not nearly as bad as last night)

Swim is tall and slim (6'2, 160lbs) if that helps anything.



Was told he'd be puking a LOT and swim's gone maybe 3 times over these 2 days.


My question is, if the reason Swim's still messed up b/c he hasn't been throwing up? (Hence purging it out of his system)
Swim also has had a perma headache for about 22 hours, hold and cold flashes (erratic) and out of the last 2 days he's prolly NOT been in bed for 4 hours total. (Tho what swim's doing in bed isn't really sleeping :/)



Anything would help at this point.
Also, unless this is completely life threatening at this moment in time, swim would rather skip the hospital visit.

Last but no least, obviously swim took too much for his tolerance, but if he lives thru this, he's very sure this isn't his cup of tea.




Cheers,
Dee..

PS..
This headache is brutal, is it safe for Swim to now take either Tylenol or Motrin IB?
 
Sorry for the double post,
the other thing Swim's wondering, since he's been drinking a lot of water, not really puking and not really pissing, could it be he wakes up so messed up because the water circulates inside instead of leaving (via pissing or puking)

Methadone has a long half life, so it is entirely normal for someone without a tolerance to feel the effects even after 48 hours. 30mg is a huge dose for someone without tolerance. I think you were on the edge of an OD - 5 more milligrams may have been fatal ...

You should be fine taking Tylenol for the headache. Just don't take any other opiates.

Puking wouldn't really "purge" your system, the methadone has been absorbed long time ago in your blood. .
