Hi fellow Bluelighters,

Just a quick question, I have round the clock back pain, and Getting Gabapentin and ER Tramadol from my GP, I also use muscle relaxing Benzos as they help with both anxiety and pain,

The Tramadol is total shit but it's all I can get for now, I aquire Codeine pills when I can and ER DHC wich I really like both for pain and just pure relief it's a really good pain killer for me , and I like the convenience of not having to pop pills all day,

Now my question is, I have access to 5mg Methadone Pills, and considering giving them a shot, I just want to know if this is a slippery road I'm going down, I read that 100mg DHC is equivelant of 5-10mg Methadone and I would normally take 120 ER DHC with Codeine IR Pills for breakthrough when I can aquire them and it works fine for me, , so I would start with 5mg and hopefully that would take my pain away,

I am just a bit concerned about side effects like changing my behaviour as I know loads of people on say 30mg Methadone for H addiction and they act like idiots, plus will it fuck my tolerance , if so I'd rather stay away from it and just use Codeine, but when funds are limited we can't always get what we want and sometimes I have to change about,

Anyone care to just put my mind at rest, it's just that Methadone is seen a really big deal in this country and the pills are not heard of , Methadone just gets givin in liquid to ex addicts, and has a bad reputation,

So Basically:

Will it fuck my tolerance ?
Is this a slipper road I am going down ?
Will it change my behaviour?


Thanks in advance guys ;)
 
Methadone is a very potent opiate, and it can fuck your tolerance up. But it's just like with any opiate, if you take it long enough your tolerance is going to raise anyways. But the thing with methadone is, is that it has a VERY long half life. So if you take some today, there's going to be some in your system tomorrow too, when you redose. So you need to be very careful and dose accordingly.

Fucking with opiates period is a slippery slope. So yes, you're standing at the top of a hill, and it's all covered in ice. Be careful.

The only thing I don't really understand is what you mean by behavior? Opiates in generally can make someone feel "edgy" I guess you could say, or very irritable. & if a big enough dose is taken, it can make you nod out. But it's not like you're going to be out acting all crazy or anything. You might speak a little slower, and become a bit sedated... but you're behavior shouldn't really change..

At least, in my opinion/experience...
 
Yeah I would say starting on methadone from tramadol and codeine would be a big mistake. The dependency you will get from methadone will literally make what you've gone through in the past look like a joke. It's not something you want to willingly sign up for unless you are totally desperate.. you are not at that point. There are many other, much much better, options of drugs to control pain that won't leave you with a debilitating psychical addiction.
 
If you say that DHC and codeine work well for you then you should really look into kratom. Kratom does WAY more for pain for me than tramadol ever will. It's totally legal and incredibly cheap and you can have delivered straight to your door whenever you want. Instead of moving up in the addiction ladder to methadone, move down to kratom which kills pain better than tramadol and has far easier withdrawals. Not everyone likes kratom but it's worth a shot and should definately be considered before moving up to such powerfull opiods that should really be a last resort. Just food for thought.
 
Yeah definately not smokeable and if it were who wants to smoke grams of that shit *shudders*. Just make a tea, its very simple and takes 20 mins. Just make a pot in the morning with all your doses for the day or even a couple days I suppose and divide accordingly. I used to prefer eating straight powder and did for over a year but found tea much easier on the stomach, just be sure to strain with a t-shirt. Buy an ounce or two and try it out for yourself, bali will do. It's A pretty cheap habit as well, costs me just a little more than my cannabis habit.
 
How many grams do u take at a time if you were taking the powder? I'd probly try that 1st cos I wouldn't have a clue how to make a tea with it lol and I imagine just munching powder would be far more easier.
