Opioids Methadone advice please!

[pahn]

Hi all. I've been an opiod addict for years. long story short, went on bupe for 2 years, went cold turkey off bupe and was clean(other than kratom) for about 8 months, then i started dabbling in opiates again(stupid, i know). Anyway, my tolerance picked up right where i left off which is fucking astronomical. My usual dose of roxicodone was 90mg. My DOC is and always has been methadone, which has always been a rarity for me to come by. Id normally get dones once, maybe twice a week. my usual dose of dones used to be 50mg, and i would get pretty damn high. About a month ago, i hit the done goldmine, and i began taking them every 36-48 hours. the first week i took my usual dose of 50mg, but i stopped feeling the euphoria so my dose instantly increased to 60-70-80-90 the following week. sadly, even as i upped the dosage i still missed the euphoria but it did take the edge off, and if i was tired enough it'd give me a VERY slight nod as it wore off. I have been steadily taking an average of an 80mg dose every 36 hrs for the past 3 weeks. Its just unreal to me to even have to take 80mg! i'm only 120lbs so that seems like a massive quanity to me, especially to not even feel euphoria from it! I am SCARED SHITLESS that i'm heading for the worst detox of my life as my supply is almost dry. I have only really went through a full on withdrawal when i went cold turkey off of the subs, which i jumped off at 4mg which was HELL!!! i'm hopefully going to get my hands on a handful more to help me taper down a bit, but thats the best case scenario right now. Exactly how fucked am I? Could there be a chance that i'll get lucky and not have a hellish withdrawal since i've only been taking it regularly for bout a month? and i have been spacing it out a bit-36hrs as opposed to 24hrs so by my math im basically only taking 2 doses every 3 days. i also got my hands on a cpl suboxone strips to help wit the first cpl days of hell...ugh im freakin out!!! any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! also, i was also wondering if by any chance could i do a "last hurrah" and take like 100-110mg to try to feel the euphoria one last time? would that work or just put me in great risk of OD? The dones have raised my tolerance so much that I cant even get high off other opiates, even if i go a week with no dones and snort 90mg of roxi-nothing! its frustrating to say the least. i know i need to just get clean, but i really just want to feel the sweet warming touch of the done high one last time before i kick!

I'm day 53 without methadone today, and ill be honest, you're probably gonna feel like shit for atleast 2-3 weeks+

maybe not though. How long have you been taking methadone atleast a few times a week?

Don't forget that with regular doses of methadone you will be building up the amount left in your system due to its half-life which may explain why you are no longer noticing any euphoria from your doses.
