I'm on 125 mg methadone daily for maintenance. It's overall done a pretty good job at reducing my cravings and I'm using much less. However, I just procured a few points of heroin and want to use it, but am scared I will accidentally overdose even though I don't feel high at all. I know that stacking doses can still suppress breathing, so I don't want to do something stupid and kill myself by accident (I do have a bottle of 1 mL Naloxone on hand, however I'm assuming if I do pass out right away it won't be much use, and would not know at which point to use it even if I were conscious). My pupils are quite big right now, so I certainly don't feel like it would be too much. How can I know, and/or use this safely so I can actually FEEL something (125 meth obviously blocks almost all) without dying?
 
^You have to wait at least 24 hours to even hope to feel anything from the heroin. Since you're taking that dose daily, it would most likely take even double that amount of time to feel the heroin.

It's not safe to try to cut through methadone with heroin, and on a dose like that, it's nearly impossible. As far as "danger" goes, I doubt that with a 125 mg methadone tolerance that .2 of H would put you in danger, but it's possible..

The only thing you can do is wait...I'm surprised you're on 125mgs of methadone and have to ask this question, as that's a dose that only someone who's extensively abused opiates would ever need.
 
I don't really care too much about the heroin at this point anyway. I'd be happy to just do as much of it as I can, take whatever I can get from it and move on without buying more. I don't have any real urge to go get more even though I do have the cash and the source. There's just no point as it's so weak in effect now, and I want to be clean.

My main question I guess was that would very large pupils and no visible signs of opiate overdose mean that taking an additional dose like that would likely be safe? Or does it work in the sense that because of my tolerance the opiate effects have been blocked so far but my breathing is still gradually slowing as it would if I did feel it and doing that amount of H will potentially make me pass out and die without realizing it...
 
This thread was borderline to begin with, but I left it open for a little while for you...

It would take a miracle to get high off any amount of heroin on 125mgs daily methadone, and .2 of what even would be considered "high grade" heroin probably won't do a damn thing, but if you're fully tolerant on 125mgs maintenance, it's very unlikely that it would be a dangerous amount for you to use...although taking opioids on top of methadone will cause respiratory depression above and beyond that caused by the methadone itself, .2 grams of heroin is equivalent to a fraction of your methadone dose...

Nobody can tell you with absolute certainty what will happen when you take heroin that you bought from an unknown source.
