Hi all. I've been a junkie for years, been thru suboxone maint. The past week i've been going to a methadone clinic. Methadone has ALWAYS been my DOC. It used to get me higher than anything, and last the longest. Needless to say i CANNOT get high off dones anymore. Before i started going to the clinic i was taking dones about 5 days out of the week avg at 80mg doses for over a month. This is what killed my ability to get high. I havent gotten high in about a month. this week at the clinic i started at 30mg and just leveled off at 60mg. i'd like to be on a lower daily dose, but im just curious if it is possible to get a slight "buzz" if i were to lower my daily dose to say 30mg, then one day take 100mg? i know its kinda against the bl rules to ask bout what will get you high, but im just trying to ask for harm reduction sake so i dont end up killing myself. if this post is in fact an "illegal post" let me know and i will by all means take it down. I am trying to kick, but I am going through the worst personal issues i've ever had the misfortune of coming across. Basically my fiance was date raped, and now shes pregnant and i dont know if the baby is mine or a rape baby. I havent slept in 2 days, and i just want to feel something other than complete hatred. I know this doesnt justify getting high, and I also know that getting high isnt going to help or solve any of my problems, but as i said its been a month since i've been high, and I refuse to drink or smoke weed, or use any other drug. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx all.

IDK...Ive taken methadone for close to 8 years and really the same amount still gets me feeling good, roughly 30mg taken 3-4 times a day, I have noticed awhile back my tolerance went up, but I was taking ALOT of methadone then, but as soon as I went back to my normal dosage, it wasnt long before my tolerance was back down.

Methadone tolerance takes a very long time, this is why docs are so hesitant to up someones dosage.

Methadone is basically synthetic heroin, this is why it was created in the first place. I dont know what to tell you, but I would be careful about taking too much methadone, I do know it does not take much of this drug to kill.
 
It will definitely get you high to double your dose like that. I'm not gonna tell you to go ahead and do it because its dumb and make you feel like crap all sleepy and weak feeling along with a bowel obstruction. But you'll feel something lol is it worth it? Now that's the question you need to ask yourself.

Why would you rather take a really high dose of a dangerous drug that could kill you when you could take your normal dose and smoke a joint to get a nice high that feels like heroin without the side effects high dose methadone gives and none of that weak sleepiness feeling methadone gives people at 100 mg and up.

What's so bad about weed why is that worse than risking your life trying to get high off something that isn't meant to get you high. Don't kill yourself with methadone just smoke a doobie after your dose kicks in. I've taken methadone by itself before with no special feeling but when I took it and smoked a joint it got me the exact same high as heroin. This goes for all opiates even suboxone, oxycodone or whatever marijuana intensifies them so you don't need as much to get high.

Now don't be stupid I'm sorry about your girlfriend that's horrible I understand wanting to get high but just ask yourself if you relapse what problems will be solved by getting high? How will getting high for a few hours solve your problems and will a few hour high be enough? Won't you want to Keep getting high if that's how you deal with problems? The next day your gonna want to get high from dosing again so you take more and then eventually your gonna need heroin to get a buzz again. This will do you no good if you absolutely feel a need to unwind start smoking pot this is the best harm reduction advice I could give you. Good luck my friend hope things get better for you.

ha i wish i could bro. i used to smoke a quarter a day for YEARS. one day i woke up, took ONE hit, and had the WORST panic attack of my life. i even blacked out and ppl had to call 911. all from just one hit of shitty skunk weed. i havent smoked in years. trust me, ive tried. i cant smoke anymore. everytime it sends me reeling into a panic attack. and for those of you that say "so what? a fucking panic attack? what a pussy..." you have no fucking idea what its like to have generalized anxiety disorder or other severe panic disorders. They FUCKING RUIN YOUR LIFE! its WAAAAAY more severe and intense than you can imagine. It got to the point where i couldnt leave my house for 3 fucking months without going into full blown attack mode. anywho, im getting WAY off topic. moral of the story:weed is out of the question. and i refuse to drink. bad times. bad times. fuck alcohol...
 
Ahh I see yea say no more I don't think your a pussy lol I've had my share of panic attacks where i can hardly breathe I shake really bad ,my knees buckle underneath my weight and I feeloke I'm passing out. I've never blacked right out before but they seem to get worse over time so I'm worried that's in my future. All my phycologists have said is I need anti depressants but I refuse to take them. Even benzos I'm wary of.
 
The weird thing is I smoke weed to lower my anxiety I only take a couple tokes of hash couple times a day but I have had a mild panic attack after doming a whole one gram fatty to myself a few times and i know lots of people who are the same way as you so I know what your talking about.
