If you've never tried methadone in sufficient doses, you cant pass judgement on whether or not it is euphoric. Like i said, the zero euphoria is a complete myth, to legitamize methadone use and widespread dispensing. It is a strong mu- agonist, and provides a euphoria that one would expect from such a compound. The drug dipipanone, found in the infamously euphoric diconal tablets, is very closely related to methadone, and is regarded as one of the most euphoric/sought after opiods. For this reason diconal was banned in england due to epidemic misuse and extreme addiction potential. A good number of people became soley diconal junkies, and like methadone, they experienced amoung the most severe withdrawal. Some people tried to recreate the high and distinct rush of IV diconal by mixing dramamine and methadone, and injecting, which of course is enormously dangerous. Point is, dont go by what is force fed by less than well meaning pharmaceutical companies and misled doctors. People who have taken sufficient doses of methadone know its power, and its unmistakable opiod euphoria. Methadone does lose its euphoric value when taken in insufficient doses, or with regular use (as in my case), but this is very true of opiates in general. Becarefull though, methadone is especially dangerous in terms of OD potential, especially with those without a tolerance. 40-60mg could kill someone without a tolerance, although some people without a tolerance could handle these doses. 20mg is enough to get someone without a tolerance plenty high.
