i used to take opiates alot back in the day, and i just took a break for a few mnths. i used to take 40 to 50 mgs of methadone in a dose. yesterday i took 30mg of dones which seemed to do the trick. its been about 24hrs since i dosed yesterday and i just took 20mgs more i know that dones have a half life of about 36 hrs, so should i be worried bout overdosing since i still have the 30mg in my system from 24hrs ago? im just a bit sketched out cuz im stuck at work all day. i get bad panic attacks when i stress bout shit like this. any help would be greatly appreciated! thx guys!
 
thx man, that makes me feel better i always start wiggin out and my anxiety makes things waaaay worse than they actually are. i have a follow up question. i know that dones somewhat block opiates, so i was wonderin when would i be good to take other opiates after i dosed 2day?
 
well.. the blocking ... effect only comes into play at doses of 70-80 mg a day.. and up.... Id say any time today is good... just keep in mind .. methadone with its super long half life... (you might wanna adjust your other opiate dose slightly.. id cut it down 15-25% personally)
 
Trust me bud you'll be alright. But if you weren't sure, why didn't you ask before you took more methadone just to be 100% possitive?
 
There is nothing we can do to help you AFTER THE FACT. What is the point in asking if, hypothetically, you ingest a lethal dose of methadone and then make a thread asking IS THIS SAFE?

Did you to swim by jumping into the pacific ocean from a helicopter, with no prior experience? I'd lean towards saying no, you didn't. You tested the waters first. RESEARCH BEFORE YOU ACT.

Methadone gives me insane anxiety and panic attacks too, all the more reason to know what I'm doing before I take those 10mg tabs...

You should know that if you haven't been using opioids for like 4-5 months, that you are NOT tolerant to the CNS depression and although everyone is different, you could have died. We don't know whether you are taking other CNS depressants like benzodiazepines, alcohol, heroin/other opioids, and we have no idea whether your body metabolizes methadone in 36h... Everyone's body chemistry is unique and you really should think before diving headfirst into the water if you don't know how deep it is. There's a reason they have the diving board in the deep end and not in the 3' shallow parts of the pool...
