Hi all. I have been taking dones recreationally for a while now. i have a pretty high tolerance. for the past two weeks ive been taking 40-45mg in the morning, skipping a day, then redosing 40-45mg again. this dose barely gives me the euphoria it once did, however i am still worried bout the long half life. my last dose was yesterday morning. i took 45mg. today would normally be the day i skip, but i REALLY want to take the last 40mg i have. any advice? would this be dangerous or not since i've been dosing 40mg every other day for the past 2 weeks? any help would be GREATLY appreciated! thx guys!

Why have you been skipping a day? Eventually the euphoria from methadone disappears IME which causes people to redose and eventually OD. I would assume that you would be safe taking it 24 hours after your last dose of methadone. You were wise to ask this question before dosing though since methadone can be extremely dangerous especially when combined with CNS depressants.
i've been skipping a day because of my knowledge of the incredibly long half life. i am EXTREMELY paranoid bout oding and i get anxiety often, which makes matter much worse when i THINK im oding but actually just freaking myself out lol. how sure are you bout redosing after 24 hours? cuz i know the average half life is 36 hrs, i do have a very overactive metabolism, so i beleive it prolly is closer to 24 hrs in my system. i dont take cns depressants or drink so im not worried bout that. what symptoms should i watch out for for signs of methadone overdose?

If you are that worried, then I suggest just to wait to 36 hours. No drug is worth your life. I have anxiety as well and the first time I overdosed from methadone, I knew something was wrong. I could barely keep myself awake and I had to remind myself to breathe. If you choose to go ahead and dose then have a friend nearby to watch you, or be willing to call 911 to say that you have overdosed.
Behind fentanyl, methadone is the worst opiate IMO to abuse for recreation. Why don't you choose a different opiate to get high from and use methadone to keep well?

ya i think imma wait til the 30 hr mark. i think that should be sufficient time for one half life cycle to have run. im still kinda sketched out doin that, but i think i should be ok. if anyone thinks otherwise please let me know!!! plannin on takin em in about 2 hours.
and btw its funny you should mention that because i have od on fentanyl before too. not fun. the reason dones are my drug of choice is the longevity. dones last hours, whereas with other opiates(vicodin, morphine, oxy) i have to take lethal doses to feel anything and the effects are gone in under a half hour.
IMO using Methadone for a buzz is a waste of your $. It only has a "high" the 1st few times You use it. I'm on 350mgs a day split into 3 doses,120,110,120 Diazepam, 10mg 4 day & remeron 60mg at night. I have been on this rather high I know there are people on MMT on 1,000mgs on the East coast. I suffer from chronic pain, usual laundry list of being an addict since 1987. I'm only 44 & my body 80 year olds are in better shape. Besides the rxed meds I have been "clean" from H& C that ravaged my body. Has anyone here been or is on MMT using Remeron, if I miss a dose of that nite I actually go into a withdrawl from the Methadone..I'm wondering if it's just me. Or anyone else have similar problems.

Rob, I think you've screwed your metabolism/tolerance. I would think that dose would hold you quite well. Taper time if it were me.
I think this guy had the same issue like a week or two ago, and was contemplating going to the hospital at work.
OP I think methadone might not be your drug to do, seems like you have alot of questions, concerns, lack of knowledge when it comes to methadone. Not sure if you're trolling or not, but why would you do the exact same thing that almost had you calling an ambulance a couple weeks ago?
My advice- Stop taking methadone if you're having issues or questions about it or feel unsafe using it. Switch to a shorter acting lower half-life opiate, if you must take an opiate. I'm not trying to be rude, just feel you need a less dangerous opiate so you won't over due it some time. Good Luck!

That dose isn't even legal here in Canada. Not to mention IMO opinion thats completely an overkill man. Like usually I felt better at 30-50mgs and just raised it out of ignorance.
bukweat, I was referring to the Remeron (mirtazapine) causing the WD symtoms if I miss just a single dose. Some how I guess the tetra cyclics can cause this. This maybe the wrong thread for that. My MMT dose does hold me fine. Sorry for the confusion.
