SWIM recently acquired 7 10 mgethadone pills SWIH's not naive to pills have been taking opiates for about 2 years on and off. SWIH tool 2 of these 10 mg yesterday and was flyingg high. But read people were wary of redosing because half life. Should SWIM be safe to take another 2-2.5?
All feedback is appreciated and quick replies is greatful too. Thanks! :)
 
I have been on the methadone clinic twice and they always start you off on 30-35mg with jumps of 5mg every day or two untill you get to a "block" dose.There's even a day where they jumped me up 15mg in one day.Keep in mind the methadone clinic is for heroin addicts with high tolerances.But you do have some opiate experience and I've seen first timers with no experience take 40mg+for their first time and have no problem.I think you'll be fine.Just err on the side of caution and increase your dose slowly.Take a dose wait an hour or two and gradually up your dose a pill at a time untill you find your sweet spot.Remember 2things: 1-methadone is absorbed slowly so when you start to feel a dose remember there is still methadone waiting to enter your blood stream. 2-Methadone tolerance(like all opioids)develops rapidly).
 
First off we don't use 'swim' here.

Next, I've always found opioids to work best in a single dose rather than redosing. Try taking your dose later on in the day so that once it wears off you just go to bed rather than wanting more. You seem to have found a dose that works for you, but due to tolerance reasons I recommend skipping a few days between each use.
 
Yeah,I personally prefer to just take what I'm gonna take all at once myself.I was just urging the OP to be careful because I sometimes forget that not everyone's tolerance is like mine.This has caused me to sometimes give the advice to just go for broke and that can be dangerous for some.Guess I was trying to un-do some of my unsafe advice.
