Methadone Dosing

[Sentimental]

Hello all.

I'm a more experienced opiate user (not quite physically addicted - I can go just about any period of time with no opiates without having withdrawal symptoms... but I'll crave it.) As far as tolerance goes, 30mg of oxy will have me pretty well set and end up in a slight yet good nod and 45mg will just about send me straight to nodland.

Anywho, a friend of mind offered to sell me some 10mg Methadone pills and I've decided I'm going to pick a few up (I love to try new opiates.)

My question is should a 10mg pill set me straight? (I say should because [of course] you can't quite predict what will happen in one's body, even with tolerance given.)

And also, I'm assuming I should take it orally...?

Thanks

I would take 15-20. Remember, the more of the methadone you take, the more it builds up and will block other agonists. So if you took say, 20mgs in the run of a day, if you went to do your 30mgs of oc he ne><t day, yu wouldnt get high, or not nearly as high as normal. It has a typical half life of a good day and a half.

You could also risk overdose doing the above. Methadone must be used with caution, it is e><tremely potent, and lasts a very long time. Its a killer. So remember to give it some time and do not keep redosing, even if its been 12 hours.

Methadone has high bioavailability and a half-life of 1day to 1 and a half days. Many people overdose on their first tries because they don't expect the drug to remain in their body for up to a week.
Like Deluded said, use with caution.

Methadone doesn't block other agonists like say suboxone/subutex (buprenorphine) will. The reason it has a blockade effect for those on MMT is because it jacks their tolerance up.

Methadone has a very long halflife so don't keep redosing because the accumulation has a stronger effect on respiratory depression than on the high like other agonists (eg oxy). So you may not feel very high 8-12 hours later but dosing more could be dangerous without a high tolerance.

Also don't mix it with other sedatives until you are very experienced with how it affects you and even then be *very* cautious and have friends around.

Dosing questions belong in BDD so this will go there but there is also a narcotic converter in the OD directory.

Alright...

So my plan is to start off with 10mg (even though the other person said 15-20, I figure better safe then sorry since this drug seems to be pretty dangerous compared to other opiates I'm more familiar with) in the morning and ride that all day, and the next day, see if I would be comfortable with raising the dose to 15-20mg.

First time I tried methadone i did 15mg and thought it would equal about 30 hydro.
Boy was I wrong...completely different feeling. I was watching the movie and every theme seemed captivating and more amazing. I felt empathy and connection with characters ....lol
until i fell asleep.

Cheap drug to make so dont get ripped off bying it. Also very addicting if you got anxiety problems besides pain. Great, long lasting high, with very litte side effects except horrible constipation. Done clinics know how safe the drug is as long as the dose is controled (meaning you gotta come almost everyday for your dose) but most people choose to get other opiates off da street with much more repercussions and dangers

if you get a nod off 30mg OC try 20-25mg methadone IMO... and remember methadone takes 2 hours till it really kicks in, so don't redose after 1 hour coz ur not feeling enuf effects.

With a tolerance to 30mg oxycodone I would recommend 20mg maximum. That should be enough to get you quite high. Effects take a couple hours to really start to kick in. At that dose you shouldn't need anymore but whatever you do, DON'T re-dose. If for some reason that dose doesn't work than just forget about it and try another day.
