Opioids methadone for a week while on vacation?

Subs not working either is strange.......how much heroin do you take a day?

LostBoys, I only IV half a gram of quality daily. The subs stopped my sickness from getting worse, but they didn't make me well either. I think this is due to my using subs a few different times in the past to come off of dope. They only work for so long, and then the subs stop doing their job.
 
fizzy and Keif',
I'm back from my trip now. I posted a link above as to what happened, but I'll paste it here too:

So I guess I'm either immune to methadone or I got fake shit (which I paid a small fortune for, btw). I used dope exclusively for the first couple of days. Then, as I should have known, I ran out and resorted to using the done. I woke up sick, dosed 50 mgs, and three hours later I still had no relief. I redosed 20 mgs, and four hours later, still nothing.

As I didn't have data service up there, I couldn't consult w any of you, so after much debate, I decided to take 2 mgs of subutex. Still no relief, but it did hold my sickness at bay. A few hours later I took another mg and then just stuck w the subs the last three days of my trip. I was horrified that the subs didn't take my WDs away completely, but I was so grateful that I didn't just rely on the done and had brought some sub with me. The 13 hour drive home was the worst.

Long story short, fuck some liquid methadone! (Unless I was just sold cough syrup)
 
Yea, you definitely got ripped off with the methadone. That's why I never buy anything in liquid form.

...it was probably koolaid
 
I've never had the liquid done, only the 10mg tabs & they were strong for me but I only took 5mgs, then again, I wasn't doing heroin.

That sucks to be driving 13 hours with no relief.......hope you're feeling better.
 
You probably got sold Koolaid or cough syrup, yeah. Shitty deal but it is quite common with liquid methadone resale... people water it down at best and just fake it at worst.
 
Yes, I would be very careful. Today is day one off Heroin (I was using about 1/ 2 a gram), and took 10 mg methadone this morning. It took the dope sickness away within 2 hours, although I still felt a little nauseas and shaky, but like 75 %. Oh and it had been about 10 hours (should have waited longer). Basically, I was surprised that 10 mg could hold me for a while. Truly, start low and see what it does. One can always increase but not decrease what has just been ingested. :)
 
^That's great that such a low dose is holding you. Props for keeping it to the lowest tolerable dose. It shows a lot of strength and willpower. If you were still feeling genuine feelings of withdrawal, it would probably be okay to up your dose by 5mg and then even 10mg, but given the symptom control you have described, you might not even need it.

Happy to hear that you are enjoying your vacation. I've had too many bad personal experiences with dope sickness and going on vacation.
 
Thank you... I didn't spend my 1st day in the bathroom... which is great! I didn't feel quite right ... was off, dizzy... a little shaky, but nothin like my last detox. I had to take the other pill at night as I started to panic somewhat 12 hours later. I took one this morning and am feeling really tired. I'm scared cos traditionally detox from H really hits me the 2nd 3rd day mentally... I'm hoping the methadone will keep this at bay. I only have enough for 3 days, and hope I don't start a full blown withdrawal after that from Heroin. I think the methadone may cover up the worst part (first 3 days). Crossing my fingers.

To the person posting this, I am so sorry to hear that. I was in England once, years ago .. without anything for a month once and didn't know much about addiction. I was miserable and dysfunctional the whole time as I was withdrawing. Luckily the people had hash I was with but it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I feel you and good luck! I think you got something watered down cos the 10 mg helped me somewhat... Most definitely.

The liquid done had the patient's name and dosing info on the bottle, and it smelled and tasted just like nyquil. And after a quick search, I concluded that it must be the real thing. Unfortunately, after 70 mgs and no relief, I realized that I was very wrong. Worst vacation ever :(

Are you sure the person didn't switch liquids or water it down?

From now on, get the 10mg tablets, they're strong & 70mgs of the tabs would have had you feeling good.

I'm surprised that I am the first guy to broach this subject, but there is a safety measure of some kind on an unopened/unadulterated bottle of methadone. This is either going to be shrink wrap around the outside of the upper bottle and cap (Ex: A bottle of Nyquil/Cough Syrup), or a tamper evident seal that one would peel off (Example: Like what you would find on a bottle of mustard after you unscrew the lid for the first time). This makes buying/selling dosages less than the whole bottle a crapshoot.

The seal is the only way to know that the dosage given on the the bottles label is the actual dosage inside. One could empty out half of the contents, replace the rest with H20, and even an experienced methadone syrup user might not be able to tell the difference. Even this information can't be relied upon 100%. Some people are savvy enough to get at the bottles contents without making it immediately obvious.

There's no way of knowing for sure what's in the bottles, but if the seal is broken on the bottle you're buying, that's as good an indicator as any that you're being ripped off in some way.
