Yea i know lol... thats why i hadnt posted anyhing since he posted that a year ago 

I got in a disagreement with a friend the other day... we were discussing methadone and buprenophine as he (says) he is getting clean... I got clean several years ago and fully support this...
Anyhow... we started talking about methadone... I was an iv user and to get clean I found that injecting my methadone made it possible to use much smaller doses (which worked best for my situation)....
His opinion of that was that "shooting ur methadone is such a waste because you don't get the rush anyway and its shorter acting when ived"
I can respect him havinng a different opinion than me and obviously its different for everyone...
But the real fact of the matter is I'm free of addiction and have been for 4 years.... and he's been talking about it. For longer than that and every time I try to give any advice he tells me I'm wrong lol....
I guesss I don't have a specific question... just venting a bit lol....
How about
Has anyone had similar experiences and how did you deal with it... and what was the end result?...
So is fentanyl and dilaudid and all that... but they all have an iv dosage conversion... whichis sorta my point.... iv methadone is much more potent... which made me able to use it to quit by never running out and having to "sub in" an old standby....
And that's this guys prob... he bangs everything he gets and he thinks he can just taper his oxy scrip.... but he runs out of the month script in. A weeek... so he gets other stuff the rest of the month....
I told him to give methadone a shot.... cuz you learn fast that its a waste to bang a bunch instead of a lil
None anymore... this was years ago... but they were the generic 10mg rectangular mallinckrodt ones...
I just had some oral surgery today... got 25 4mg hydroorphone

One good reason it's not a good idea to IV methadone: pissing becomes nearly impossible when one needs to and wants to (more so than all other many opiates I have tried). Sometimes it flows sporadically (but not like you'll wet you're pants, it'll just be a breeze when it comes down to it), but most of all it requires patience and a hell of a lot of pressure effort.
Seriously, why would you IV 10mL of anything, let alone methadone, there is no point to shooting methadone. You need to go back to supervised oral dosing, NOW. If you're shooting your methadone your at the wrong dose.
