Opioids Methadone Dose Question

[fm1983]

I UTFSE and such and searched the web and can't find exactly what I am looking for.

I have come into methadone (10mg), and I never have used it before, I strictly use oxycodone (30mg Roxi).

When I dose the roxi's, I take a initial dose of 75mg, never more, then re-dose throughout the day to a max of 150mg.

I am trying to find a good starting dose for the methadone. I am thinking 15mg of methadone would be a good dose, but I am looking for some others input. I have also thought about snorting 5mg of methadone, to test the water and see where that puts me, and then base an oral dose off of that.

Thank you!

Oral dose of methadone is about half that of oxy, so just work it out from there. 15-30 mg to start with, but methadone lasts a lot longer than oxy so I doubt you'll need to redose. Don't snort it, 'done hurts like hell to snort. And give the methadone a couple hours to kick in, for whatever reason, it onsets really slowly.
