First Time Methadone Mistake

[srh_]

Hi,

Well I've searched and browsed around, and I realize I should have done some more research and thought a little more about it before hand... but I'd like to get some other opinions...

Someone I know had a friend who gave him some 10mg methadone. Said friend took half of one, had 3 shots of jaeger and two beers, and took the other half within the space of 2 or 3 hours. That was between 6-8PM. Friend smoked some grass, and saw Iron Man 2 at 12:01AM.

It's now 3:330 AM. Said friend cannot fall asleep cause he is worrying that he won't wake up from respiratory depression or some other fucked up side effect...

Currently has no opioid tolerance, and has only done Oxy in the past, 20-30mg tops.

So is it safe to go to sleep now? Or will said friend "wake up dead"?

10mg methadone is safe even combined wih a bit of alcohol... the alcohol mainly just speeds up the metabolism of the 'done... but the dose was low... your friend will be safe... jusst dont ttake any benzos or oher downers to sleep

jep 10 mg should be fine, even with alcohol. feeling so tired that you're afraid you won't wake up is normal - together with feeling sick - when you got no tolerance.
do you have experience with opiods in general... do you know how they are supposed to feel like?

Cause a friend of mine just had a methadone experience and fell asleep several times always feeling as if the urgeto sleep would be a little bit to strong to be safe. but she knew this kind of feeling already from other opiods so she didn't worry.

maybe somebody should keep your friends company so he feels more confident.

Well, all went well.

Previous opiate experience was limited to Vicodin and Oxys. Taking more than two vicodin always results in horrible nausea and little euhporia for my friend. Oxys are much nicer to him, giving him a very warm, euphoric feeling but there is still too much nausea to do anything other than sit down, smoke pot and drift away... My friend said the methadone didn't do very much for him to be honest; there was no warm, happy euphoria. Only a slight feeling of being off, slight nausea which the pot helped, and that was pretty much it. Is this normal? 20mg of Oxy felt a lot better than 10mg of methadone according to my friend...

Methadone is not to be messed with especially when drinking. Sure it's fun for those that have a little opiate tolerance but I would start out with vicodin, narco, even percocet first. Never take over 30mg the first time or you may die just a fact.

TB is right! Dont mess with Methadone if you have to drink. It can KILL you. In fact dont even take methadone period. You dont want to get a methadone addiction. It is one of the worst withdrawls ever. You probablly have never had w/ds so you dont know what its all about. It sucks bro. For weeks you feel like your dying. No bullshit. If you want to take opiates recreationally never take them for more than a few days in a row.

Word, thanks for the advice. Oxy is the only opiate I've had experience with, done it for a few days and that was it.

Never had withdrawal symptoms. Hope I don't get there either hehe..

What about 60mgs- with 4 beers and a shot of gibsons..first time random user. Will he "wake up dead?"

His first time taking methadone, he's done fentanoyl and Oxys before, (over a year ago) and it's his first time trying methadone..He's had a total of 4 Canadian beer an one Gibsonspuss shot(gibsons finest and sour puss) He has smoked pot and now he's tired and wants to sleep, but he can't go to the washroom and he's feeling very lazy...

Please any info/help or advice
