What are peoples thoughts on methadone as a recreational drug?

I have zero tolerance to opiates and very little experience with them.. Am i likely to like it.. or am i likely to hate it?
 
I use methadone daily as am a heroin addict. I have trouble seeing it as a recreational drug at all.
If you have zero tolerance to opiates then I would think twice about trying methadone as it kills more people than heroin does I believe. The only advice I would give you is don't try it, look for something less risky to try if you have to do something.
 
My advice: It's a fine recreational drug if you stick to very low doses (<5mg) but it will last considerably longer and will probably be a lot more sedating/confusing for most people than a comparable opiate like hydrocodone. When it comes to maintenance usage of course it's not very recreational. But to a naive user even buprenorphine can be an effective opioid.

Methadone is an excellent pain control opioid, or so I've heard.
 
I used Methadone recreationally (never more than 20 mg) when I wasn't very tolerant to opiates and I loved it.....I just wouldn't recommend using it too often so you don't end up with a higher tolerance and whatever your DOC is will not give you the same feeling.

I also agree that Buprenorphine is a kick-ass recreational drug if you do NOT have a high tolerance for opiates. I was clean for about 9 months and then took about 1mg of Suboxone and it rocked my world for almost 24 hrs!

Now I am on Suboxone daily and there is no way to get that feeling now.....:(
 
i would say stay away because usually recreationally can rapidly turn into a dependance and methadone isnt one to mess around with. i've been trying to kick the stuff for a few years now.
 
stay away from methadone.. its a very strong drug.. and since your not used to opiates, i would say just find something less strong like codeine, which is a good drug to start out with, or some hydrocodone which to me is a great drug with no tolerance.. and your less likely to OD on either of them unlike methadone which is easy to OD on with no tolerance .. just stay far away from methadone. that's just my advice.
 
It should be mentioned that methadone has a very long half-life. It’s length of action surprises me, even with an opiate tolerance. I always like to warn newcomers about the dangers of mixing them with benzos, it can be quite dangerous. If you take a small dose to feel it out it can be a very pleasant drug but proceed with caution.
 
I did Methadone back in the days when I had no tolerance to opioids and no addiction to speak of and Methadone is a quite potent drug.
I can't remember exactly what dose i took, maybe 30 or 40mg and I was high for two days so it was a very good drug that way,
no need to redose or worrie about crashing because it would hold you good and high for quite some time.

All I can say is be very very carefull, as mentioned early Methadone kills a lot of people each year. Do NOT combine with bensos or alcohol and
do not re-dose because Meth takes a long time to kick in. But when it has kicked in you will be floating for a long time.
 
Since you are new to opiates, I recommend staying away from Methadone. I was curious like you at first about it but waited a year & trying other opiates like hydrocodone, oxycodone & codeine before trying 5mgs of Methadone.

Do I like Methadone? Not really, it doesnt give me the effects I get from hydrocodone that I enjoy & it lasts so long. Imo Methadone should be used for heroin/drug addicts & severe pain patients. I myself have scoliosis pretty bad but will not take Methadone if they offered for my pain. One think I know for sure, once you start down the path of Methadone, your tolerance will sky rocket & wonderful enjoyments like codeine & hydrocodone will never be able to get you high again.
 
I agree with the majority - don't mess with it. Methadone is a hardcore opioid. Small amounts go a LOOOONG way, and for a long long time. Being new to opiates, there may be some safety issues ie. it takes a LONG ass time for it to 'kick in' and if you aren't aware of this, or anticipating it you may take too much and overdo it. This would suck... also, if new to opiates/opioids you wouldn't be wise to mix it with anything else (like benzos for example, as many people choose to mix opiates + benzos... I do NOT promote this behavior..exp to new users) as the dangers are increased significantly.

If you want to try opiates (in general) try something shorter acting and with faster onset. I'm guessing you came into some methadone and just want to try it as a result. If you DO, just take a small amount, for example 5 mgs. Wait about 2 hours. See how you feel. Getting a tolerance to this substance is the opposite of ideal (then, that's true for anything.). Just ESPECIALLY with methadone. W/d's are a bitch.
 
Personally I love Methadone. I use it quite a bit for recreational purposes, usually 20 - 50 mg. The high lasts for hours and you're not sick for the next couple days. The only problem is that after a while you only get high for a couple hours and no longer all day. But for me I love it, I do inject it though which is not smart at all. I have to squeeze it than micronfilter it but the rush feels like a D with a pinch than a head rush like OC. So ya I guess some people (like me) enjoy it but it is dangerous so be safe.
 
This is not other drugs material. Basic dosage/effects questions belong in basic drug discussion. I am going to move this over there for you.

If you're new to opiates methadone is more likely to be recreational but at the same time it's a pretty heavy duty and very long lasting thing to try first! If you take too much or hate it you've got a long time til it's gone..

I would echo sekio that you really need to start with a tiny dose and see how you go. Some people are pretty sensitive, or night vomit a lot on opiates, and generally higher doses will just knock you out and over sedate you even if you aren't super-sensitive - and this could last for well over 24 hours.

Make absolutely sure not to take any other downers or GBL for at least a day, I'd give GBL 48 hrs or more (known someone get resp depression taking GBL over 24 hours after methadone) and fully expect to still be feeling the methadone the next day! Just be careful and stay safe :)
 
i have climbed the ladder from he lowest - codeine to hydros to oxycodones to roxicet 30s to tried to kick with suboxone for a while(really just upped my fucking tolerance really, suboxone is b.s. (to me) unless you wanna be a long long term user. i gave that up and got into opana40 xr and Dope. Most recently methadone. i have tried fucking with the methadone recreationally... as i am an addict as well who is trying to just stay well and stop doing heavy drugs. i took 7 10mg 'done pills on top of some green 3mg xanax recreationally and the xanax really fucked me up but as far as an opiate feeling, no - none. its not a good recreational drug it has a long half-life and its used to treat addicts, but its become and epidemic to where people are on as much as 400-500 mgs of methadone a day. i mean get real. you don't want this shit go get yourself some hydrocodone 5/apap and eat one, maybe two. don't mess with real tough shit til you can handle it.... unfortunately i built my tolerance up a lot
 
I'd be really careful with that. I've been on Methadone for over 5 years now, and it's highly highly addictive and the withdrawals are WAY worse than heroin withdrawals. Also if you don't have a tolerance to opiates, I'd be careful because you would need VERY little to get you high. Probably only a couple milligrams. It might upset your stomach the first couple times you take it also.
 
Wow arnt you in luck. Methadone is fucking amazing and you stay high the whole entire day and then nod out peacefully at night. Methadone is better than heroin. Ok so you dont get the rushh...but the pay off is 12 hours of complete bliss and sedatedness.

A coulple years ago i pretty much had a very low opiate tolerance,(20-30mg of oxycodone) and swallowed 10mg of methadone and i was compeltely faded for the rest of the day.

So in your case id say start with only a fewmg and IMO you will without a doubt enjoy it.
 
i think you should try opiates/opioids that have comparably low affinity for mu especially. start with tramadol/codeine, because once you grow a tolerance you will want to go back when you could take 50-100mgs tramadol and get fucked up.
