Greetings,

I am new to the forums here but have been reading them alot throughout the past year.

Finally SWIM have a question or concern and decided to register and ask.

Im is 27 Y/O about 5'7 about 175 Lbs

I have been taking methadone the past 2 days in order to keep the withdrawals from oxy away. It has been working however this my first time ever taking methadone. I took 2.5 MG 2 days ago later that night I took 10MG for a total of 12.5 MG 48 hours ago and then I took 10 more MG of the methadone 24 hours ago.

Well I finally was able to get his Oxycodone 30 MG IR refilled and was wondering if after taking that little bit of methadone would the oxy not work or be less effective? Also I was wandering if taking the oxy is even safe with taking the methadone only 24 hours ago. I can usually take about 75 MG of oxy in one dose and thats with minimal euphoria but works great of the shoulder pain. Please help I really doesnt care about the methadone and just want his oxy however i dont want to waste the oxy if it wont work because Im have no insurance and has to pay full price for his script.

i have heard that little dose of methadone would NOT block the opiate receptors and the oxy would still work to full potentiol and i read it was not harmful at all because some people take the oxy and methadone at the same time at much higher doses. Im not interested in the methadone at all just want to get back to the oxy like the doctor perscribed me. I am not perscribed the methadone i was able to get them off of my buddy who is also perscribed 15Mg Oxy and 10 Mg methadone every 8 hours. which is pretty irrelevant. Thanks for any help in advance.

You should be ok with your tolerance but keep in mind methadone persists for a long time. If not having problems with withdrawal, space it as much as you can. And SWIM should not be used.
 
Holy fucking swim. I can't even read that post. If you have "been reading this site for a while now" you'd know people don't use SWIM on BL.
 
If your last 10 mg methadone dose was 24 hours ago, you should be okay to resume your oxy prescription. If you are nervous about it, start just start by taking one tablet instead of a big dose.
 
Thank you guys for your help. Sorry about the SWIM I do see that on these boards and I didn't want to piss anyone off. I took 1 tablet and the pain is gone so I am happy. I am however a little more euphoric than I normally care to be because I still have to function with kids wife etc etc. Again thanks for the help everyone greatly appreciated.
 
If you can, go through & edit your post. You need paragraphs.........

As for methadone blocking other opiate usage, everyone is different.

For me, 2.5mgs of methadone would slightly block my vicodin the following day. It doesn't take much for me but everyone is different.
 
How are you getting wd if it takes you 2 days to go through like 20mg of methadone?
20 is nothing i thought, compared to what maintenance doses at clinics are.
I know when ive taken methadone in detox, the first day theyd give you 20 or 30mg and it only ever made me feel normal....

He's taking 75+mg of oxycodone a dose. 20mg of 'done is enough to hold off withdrawals for a while.
 
It is?
Mind you i learned most of what i know about methadone from people on maintenance
But.so.lets say dude does a whole oc80 to get high. The old ones, it doesnt matter.
So dude needs an 80 to get high but a little.more to nod hard.
20mg of methadone will stop withdrawal from like 100mg oc a day?
Surprising to me..
But i dont fuck with painkillers, just dope so thats why.
 
Methadone is pretty potent, and you only need a fraction of the dose it takes to make you nod to drive withdrawals away. In fact, 10mg of methadone is probably better... take it in divided doses, y'know. Space it out so you keep W/D away as long as possible.

15-20mg methadone is equivalent to about 100mg of oxycodone, according to the globalpharm narcotic converter. But it's best to start low in case you have a strange reaction. Methadone takes up to 3 hours to fully set in and is incredibly powerful, so don't take any more and try not to combine it wit

1/4 of the dose you need to get high is usually enough to keep the sick away. So for this person lets say that 20mg of oxy would keep them from being sick since that's just over 1/4 of the 75mg dose of oxy they take, and if you consider that methadone is more than twice the strength of oxy it makes sense that 10mg would keep the withdrawals at bay.
 
Yeah, that low of a methadone dose is not going to block anything. You still want to wait for it to leave your system, at least 24 hours to be safe, before continuing on the oxy and adding another opiate in if you're already feeling the methadone.

Yeah, I do not get how people keep on using SWIM here on a consistent basis. The only site I know that uses SWIM is drugs-forum. Do they get over the satire and stupidity of that site and graduate to BL?

OP, why don't you just wait until you start withdrawing and then have a nice dose that you usually have. It should work better than normal.
 
Yes 20 mg is nothing - if you have already taken methadone. A small amount will provide relief to an opiate naive but tolerance will build up so quickly, within 1 or 2 days 20 mg will do absolutely nothing. But even yet the blocking effect won't happen until at least 30 - 60 mg of methadone daily.
