IV Methadone, Promethazine - Experienced - Rush

Ok so ive essentially quit drugs totally now, and to aleviate my cravings ive decided to relive one of my old nights enjoying opiates. here goes.

I begin by scoring 7 10mg pain management tablets of methadone, called physeptones. they are basically just methadone cut with chalk, and work great in wheel filters if you want to IV them. I then go and pick up a few 10ml Barrels and some 25 gauge tips. I usually use 3 or 5mls, but this is going to be a bigger shot then normal, and i know theres going to be a lot of liquid. i also grab 7 0.8 micron wheel filters, as well as alcohol swabs, sterile water, and the rest of the standard safe injection gear. I also have 2 25mg promethazine tablets for potentiation, bringing the total to 9 pills - 70mg methadone and 50mg promethazine.

i get back to my settup, and lay everything out. i line up 6 mixers and 9 tablets, and drop 1.5 tablets into each mixer. I know from experince that this 1.5 pills works best, as 2 tends to get clogged near the end of filtering and just 1 leaves a bit of room for more.
I then add a little over 1ml of water to each mixer, and let that sit while i wet all my wheel filters and go wash my hands etc.

I get back, and mix each mixer with the back of a plunger until everything is 100% dissolved. each mixer now looks like it holds about 1.5ml of milk. i draw this up into one of the barrels and push it through a wheel filter into a seperate cap, which i had already cleaned with an alco swab. The filter turns white, as clear, clean solution is pushed out. I repeat this for each mixer in turn, slowly filling up my main cap with a water-like solution. At the end i throw 1ml of water into a mixer, to get any bits i left behind the first time. I then mix this around, tip it into the next mixer, and continue for all 6. at the end i am left with a decently white solution, which is filtered and added to the main stuff.

After that is all done, i suck up the filtered solution, which is indistinguishable from water, into a 10ml barrel. there is about 8ml there, and as this is the first time i have used such a large barrel, i am a bit nervous. (but mainly keen :)) i pump my fist a bit, and line up my median cubital, (inside elbow) which is sitting on the surface all bluey-green and ready. I used drugs about once a week at this point, so my veins are always fresh and healthy.

I slowly ease the tip of the spike through my skin, and it slips in easily like a child climbing under its bedcovers. I feel it press against the vein wall, and then feel the release as it pushes through. I know that i am safely in the vein, but i register just to be sure. Blood seeps into the barrel and spreads out along the side, which faces downwards (i am holding the barrel nearly horizontal). The blood doesnt seem to mix, but rather slowly seeps under the methadone/promethazine solution, spreading out horizontally under the forces of gravity.

I then begin the slow push down - with a barrel this size, and a small(ish) gauge needle, it takes a fair amount of time. I have to push down with a lot of force, and i always make sure that i am steady so that i dont somehow slip and stab myself.

after a few seconds, i feel the lightheadedness, and the feeling of my body ringing at a certain frequency that goes with the methadone rush. this is quickly succeeded by a warm sensation filling my body up, pressuring me all over from the inside out. I am about halfway through the shot now.

At this point I feel a slight pain, and am relatively sure i have slipped out of the vein. I carefully re-position and re-register, and again blood seeps into the barrel, staining it red. I slowly begin the journey downwards again, eager to finish up and relax. the pressure increases.

As the shot comes to an end, i feel like a balloon that has been filled to bursting point with warm water. I feel heavy. As the final drop of liquid is squeezed out of the hollow metal spike and into my vein, i watch the remnants of blood and air get squeezed down, and hear a fizzle, like when a bath is drained of the last of its water. I carefully slide the spike outwards, place it on the floor and reach for a tissue.

I lay back, pressing the inside of my elbow, eyes half closed and sedated smile on my face. everything is perfect. I hate to romanticize drug use, and will always value real highs over artificial ones, but at that point, lying under a blanket of euphoria, it is hard to think of anything but pleasure.

I lay still for about 10 minutes, unmoving. the methadone rush lasts a ridiculously long time, and finally i decide to get up and clean everything. I put the barrels in a sharps container, take the tissue off my arm and into the bin, and place everything into a plastic bag, and then make the journey outside to the big bin. I love this journey, as it always happens when i am feeling my best.

I then return to the house as a friend turns up, and we proceed to chat, go out for food, watch a movie, have sex, and eventually i end up reading a book in my hammock. I wont go into detail for any of these, as i just wanted to re-live the experience of the actually drug use.

anyway, thats my trip report. I was torn between making it poetic or more straightforward documentary style, and i think i managed some mutated mix of the two. hopefully it was a good read, and if people enjoyed it i might decide to do a few more.

cheers :)

nice report man:) im gonna have to try this with you when we finally meet up. as you know ive never experienced a "rush" from my limited iv methadone experiences but it sounds pretty nice for those who do seem to get the rush
 
a rush from methadone? i wish. Cant tell you how many missed shots and vials of injectable methadone i went through tryin to get more than just "well".

I managed to get "high" a few times but it was more like just nodding off, strictly physical..no mental high & no euphoria

Methadone has absolutely no recreational value for me, but i've seen people getting chumped off the stuff with no tolerance and i've never tried methadone without a tolerance...
 
Nice report. :) Thanks for sharing. Be careful that you don't slip up and let yourself try it again in the forseeable future. But I'm sure you know that.
 
anybody got any wisdom to share on the diff between a methadone high and morphine hih in terms of euphoria?

This line is wild! Very creative, ifonly!

I really enjoyed that, I am going to nominate it as one of the TRs in our TR contest coming up. Really good description of the IV process.

Please do write more if they are as interesting as that one!

peace,
samadhi
 
awww, thanx samadhi :)

i most certainly can do.

give me a few days and i might even write more succinct, 100% creative IV process TR, instead of half info half poetic

thx again!
 
yeah, I really like the creative TRs (the informative TRs have their place too).

but, xorkoth's point is right...be careful with yourself!

I wanted to try to make some joke about how the TR forum isn't worth an opiate addiction but I couldn't phrase it anyway other than sounding creepy/weird so I gave up.

but yeah! =D

peace,
samadhi
 
oh christ, i just re-read this, and god it makes me fiend for those days again. i've since given up the needle and hard drugs, but ooooh... oh the brain does not forget, let me tell you.

sigh.

one day maybe, i'll splurge again. one day.

//wistful look
 
Wow man you should write drug porn


please write some more

ps what gauge did you use?
 
wow, thanx man. let me get back into drugs for a bit and i will certainly write more :)

and, the gauge was 25.

"I then go and pick up a few 10ml Barrels and some 25 gauge tips."
 
I have some methadone but unsure how much to take.. I now have a bit of a tollerance to opiates, 100mg IM morphine gets me off nicely. As does 10mg IM hydromorphone. What would a good methadone dosage be?
 
Ugh, don't build up any tolerance with methadone... the withdrawals are apparently by far the worst of any opiate. Plus the high isn't too great.
 
^
the high is pretty nice , i'd rank it only second to heroin personally


on the other hand the wd really are terrible not because of intensity but because of lenght , after 3 weeks i still felt like crap
 
I had no idea you could IV methadone, Anyone have a link on that? That definitely was a good mix, not too documentary which makes it a much more enjoyable read. Kudos!
 
Ouch

Promethazine is great for opiate potentiation, speaking personally when it comes to Dilaudid and morphine... I've never IV'd methadone, however.

The bad thing about prometh is that it burns like a bastard if not diluted, and I think that was probably what caused the pain when you did your shot... as a general rule, 25 mg (1 ml) of prometh should be diluted in at least 4-5 cc's, minimum.

I typically just shoot 4 mg (2mls) of Dilaudid, with 12.5 of prometh, or 12 of morphine, with the same amount of prometh... I'll go up to 25 if I have a 5 or 10 cc barrel, and 25 of Benadryl adds a nice nod, too, without the burn...

But if it's more than 1/4 of a shot, (regardless of the size), prometh will set your fields on fire...

I got 25 of Phenergan IM in the shoulder one time, and it felt like I got stabbed with a rusty knife for two days - it's really nasty stuff if not diluted.

Thanks for the write-up about IV methadone... only pills available here, and no wheel filters, so I'm hesitant to try it... but one of these days... 8o if I can filter it enough, I'll give it a try...

Disclaimer - I know IV'ing any pills is a risky thing... but methadone keeps calling my name...

(But I'll use less prometh, for sure.)

Happy trails.
 
YO...

I've been banging my methadone for years. Its the best way to go. An opioid conversion chart says 40mg of IV methadone is equivalent to 80mg oral.

...and you Do get a rush if you do a decent amount. (I was doing 100 the first time i was on methadone. Now i'm only at 40, and it still gets me high.

I Use a 12cc syringe, with a 20 or 25 guage tip (you can get them at any feed store). 1cc of methadone liquid = 10mg, so you need the big ass horse needle if you want to get off.

I've never heard of the promethazine (im intrigued, b/c I have some in the bathroom). if you eat the promethazine and bang the methadone, will it be affected????
