Iv used the search engine thoroughly & havent find any answers on what my question is..
Now im no stranger to opiates, I'm well experienced in Hydrocodone, and Oxycodone and have used methadone in the past but not at high doses, which to me is anything over 40 mg. 40 mg of Methadone gets me pretty high all day & seems like a oxycodone high but I havent been able to experience that blissful nod or nodding that everyone tries to achieve. So my question is, with my tolerance, being relatively moderate ( 80mg of Oxy feels like 40 ish mg Of methadone for me) which dose should I take to achieve the nod or start nodding out, like being in-n-out of consciousness with all the euphoria n stuff but not too much to feel sick ? 60 maybe 70 mg ?
 
i would take it step by step. you could just be a on that "line" where a little bit could send you into dream land, and a little bit more after that could make you pass out..

i would only increase your increments by 5-10mgs.. so next time try around 50mgs and see how that treats you
 
you hsould look into some white 100% natural grapefruit juice for potentiation. or tagamet works just as well if not better. also do you smoke weed? do you have some benedryl laying around? idk im a polydrug user but i cant really achieve a good nod on just opiates alone..

i would try these techniques techniques and see they work before upping your dosage
 
Thankss guys for yall's replies & suggestions/advice, people like yall and place like this that keeps me out of the emergency room & cemetery :D
 
oh gosh. you're playing with fire regardless of tolerance. when I was ONLY on 30ish? mgs one 5mg valium would make me feel like I needed to go to er. Methadone Nods are NOT fun and should NOT be toyed with like heroin. The only thing I can say thats similar to methadone nods are fent. nods and those feel so overwhelmingly uncomfortable if anyone knows what I mean when you have to put water on your face to stay awake. Horrrrrrible

whatb u have to watch out about 'done is that it takes about 2 hours to peak... so don't redose after 30-40 minutes, if you're not yet nodding...

if you can easily handle 80mg oxy you can handle 80mg methadone IMO/IME

phatass I know you're an expert at 'done but thats not good advice man. When I slammed I still thought 50mgs of methadone was more than enough when I got on MMT, thats deadly advice. Maybe I am wrong but I hear it more and more with people calling methadone "weak". The ONLY time I have ever been scared of an overdose was on methadone, and fent. You have your right to an opinion but someone whos used to doing 80mgs of OC would NOT handle 80mgs of methadone well. OC leaves your body quicker and is speedy, Methadone is sedating as all hell.
 
Gotta say methadone is just not a good compound for titrating, experimenting, ....really abusing. When I first started MMT i remember getting a desirable opioid effect. Also, changing from one preparation to a different preaparation can sometimes yield a kind of "high" but IMHO, the drug does exactly what its billed for - cuts cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and covers the major opioid receptors, thus blocking agonism by shorter acting compounds (for the most part). Outside of that, IMHO, its just not a "get off" drug. I know it can get you "throwed" but very narrow "therapeutic" window, lots of OD's-fatal OD's- with methadone "naive" folks...

No way jose...........what kind of advice is this? No way he should be taking 80mgs of Methadone because he can handle 80mgs of Oxy.

Try 50mgs & wait until another day to dose higher if needed. Methadone is playing with fire if you keep upping the dose.

I have to disagree with that statement. There was a time when I could handle 180mg of oxycodone/260mg of morphine (orally), and still get very high off 60mg of methadone.
 
WOW phatass/dumbass how about u do research befor you go giving information that could potentionaly kill someone who is dumb enough to believe you. Being able to do 80mgs of oxy has no relation to you being able to handle 80mgs of methadone, like none what so ever. That is so incorrect you should stop leaving your opinion befor you do have a believer. What your saying is if im able to slam/snort or pop an 80 i can handle 80mgs of methadone well HELL NO. My mother is a doctor who specializes in methadone so i no my facts and there`s people out there who used opiates for no longer then a period of three months (which is more then enough time to build up a tolerance) who have overdosed after taking as little as 50 mgs of methadone. OK so get ur shit straight or keep your opinions to yourself...... Now I will apolagize for the foul language but your message maid me so upset not only cuz of how faulse it is but because this person i no who overdosed on 50 mgs of methadone after having way more of a tolerance then just a fuckin 80 was my brother and he is no longer with us an i no first hand he got his information from sites like these so shut your mouth or do some research....... Enough Said!!!!!!!!
 
Hi J Dogg, we generally discourage bumping of old threads, but in this case I understand that you bumped it because you felt there was potentially lethal information being given out in the thread. I agree with you that being able to take 80mg of oxycodone does NOT mean you can or should take 80mg of methadone, but there is no need to be uncivil about it, and there were already others who had pointed out that phatass's advice was not correct. It is best to remain calm and stick to the facts, or better yet to report the post using the

Can't u use other opiates to achieve a 'nod' rather than methadone.
Methadone isn't to be messed with. More folk die from methadone overdose than they do of heroin.
Just go careful whatever you decide to do.
