Opioids Heroin to Methadone General Questions

[m111lk]

Hello, I have been using heroin daily for the past 3 years. It most likely has fent in it, the withdrawals are so much more intense than the heroin withdrawals I experienced 10 years ago.

I cannot make it to the 24 hours that suboxone requires in order for me to transition onto it. By hour 16, I'm throwing up, shitting, sweating, everything. (I've even tried the bernese method with success in the past, but my addiction is so strong at this point, I can't do it mentally.)

I was always told to stay away from methadone, but it's looking like it may be my only option at this point. I don't know anything about it, only that I would be able to take it at any point after smoking H? PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. Now usually I'd take suboxone for a week and be done with it because I did not want to trade my addiction. What would be the proper way to go about getting on and getting off of methadone as fast as possible? Feel free to tell me about your experience, I really don't want to have to wake up sick and wait in line to get my dose. I just want to get off this H, the withdrawals are so fucking horrible. I've considered awful things because it feels like that'd be my only way out.

If you have any suggestions for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I've also tried Kratom but just ended up projectile vomiting it all over my bathroom.)

Thanks yall

How long does it take to get addicted to methadone? Could I take it for 3-7 days and stop and be in the clear?

your already addicted to opioids friend, there is no difference here like that, you dont get a different kind of addiction, it will just be far more stable and easier to do a overseen taper (which will take a long time but work) If you want to get it done fast, look into Iboga. Otherwise, methadone is just medical replacement treatment, so your basically getting pharma opioids.

Methadone 30-40mg clinics start at……adjust dose to ur stable

Then weekly they reduce dose by few mg until you’re off Methadone …..a year of treatment

Others take Methadone long term for chronic pain

You are opioid dependant…..Methadone will keep you stable and comfortable while they slowly reduce the dose until you’re weaned off Methadone

Methadone is a Looong acting opioid that when properly dosed, will occupy most of opioid receptors in your CNS, so when you bang H…..you won’t feel shit, because the Methadone is occupying all the mu-opioid receptors

It prevents abuse of other illicit opioids……with its 24h half life

Methadone is a synthetic opioid with some cool pharmacology that makes it a little distinct but nothing to special. You can not just stop taking it after a week as the addiction to methadone is the same you have to fent, physical opioid addiction is mostly not very chosy what opioid you ingest so switching from heroin to fentanyl f.e. your body wont get addicted to something different. Think of being addicted to vodka, just switching to rum wont have you build a whole new addiction. Or like going from one benzo to another.

Thank you, this is what I was wondering. I knew nothing of methadone so I assumed it was like suboxone and I could switch from one to another. I appreciate you explaining it to me, now I feel like switching to methadone would just be useless. Sounds like I need to nut up and just do the 24 hours.
