im just wondering cuz i want to be careful. i have a messed up back from a car accident two years ago and i cant get usual oxy right now and im in a lot of pain and dones are all i have.cant decide if i should just wait longer or if i am all good to take them.and im not a beginner or addicted. i just take them for pain but i have a torelance some what. like 60-80 is good for me 30 doesnt work too well anymore.wondering if i shouldnt take any low dose of dones because i was just doin oxy for like a week staright.sorry if this has been asked before i couldnt find anything
 
you are fine. oxycodone has a short half-life so the high subsides in 3-5 hours unless you redose. if that's what you mean by bad anyways, i thought u meant bad as in overdosing or repsiratory depression idkkk
 
It is important to be careful with methadone. But opioid + opioid = more opioid, that's all. Mixing other CNS depressants is where it gets particularly risky. And I'd bet the oxy is pretty much out of your system. Go ahead with the methadone.

What he said...just if you take this for a while, try not to take anymore opioids for a couple days. IIRC the half-life of methadone is RIDICULOUSLY long like 30 hours or something like that.

edit: according to wiki the half-life is 24-36 hours...
 
ya im not trying to take methadone all the time. i dont really like it that much.im just in a lot of pain and standing 8 hours at work made it worse.i was just worried about still having oc in my system cuz i waas going it daily for a week.but i have stoped and its been two days since i last did it.and the last day i did it i did 30mg instead of usual dose.and i would be taking a low dose of dones
 
You're fine. Out of curiousity how much methadone do you take to put you in a comfortable place?
