Opioids Methadone

[Dextro .45]

Yes, we do have it good. being able to buy things like LSD,MDA, and all sorts of psilocin analogs on the clearnet is pretty cool. Rilmazofone is easily to find domestically as well. And in real life, in a 3 block radius from me are A safe supply prescribing and dispensing site, (Methadone, Dilaudid,morphine, amphetamines etc), about 5-6 cannabis stores, and 2 psilocybin mushroom shops. I actually bought 7 grams of penis envy mushrooms from the mushroom store up the street from me a little while ago.

Id like to see more methadone tablets, Ive only ever seen the 25s, and that was in Quebec, which is like 20 mins away from me, so youd think id see em more. I once had some pure methadone hcl powder from the darknet. they capsules that were advertised as 50 mg doses, though dumping out caps and comparing it was noticeable some contained less. so probably like 40-50 mgs approx depending on the cap.

Metadol 25mg tablets (Methadone) a sealed 100 tablet bottle every 26 days

Once a month…..instead of weekly 6 carry’s visit of juice

We should those awesome Methadose 40mg white cross scored round tablets, like little quarters lol

Canada has a very progressive approach I must say…..pharmaceutical Diamorphine & Dilaudid IV and Amphetamine/Ritalin for stimulant dependancy

Methadone & Ritalin together is an amazing painkilling combo. Opioid + dopaminergic stimulant

 

[Dextro .45]

I increased the methylphenidate due to tolerance and my doctor decided to increase it after I told him I was experiencing cravings for illicit stimulants (e.g methamphetamine, freebase cocaine etc)

as far as the methadone goes, I think it will probably stay since its established itself as the "gold standard" of opioid maintenance drugs. I believe they will simply use traditional-highish doses, in addition to high dose 24 hour release morphine formulations (Im talkin like 2000+ mgs in many cases) along with high doses of oral hydromorphone and IV hydromorphone vials for cravings. I think the government here has realized its less taxing and harmful on society as a whole to just allow ppl who want to access recreational drugs and/or maintenance drugs for addiction/dependance to do so.

I think they should just start giving out more fentanyl patches and even IV vials of fentanyl citrate to users who need it. It is approved for the safe supply here, as are diacetylmorphine dry ampules, but I rartely if ever see them.

It depends on myriad of different reasons and most of them are personal. Few questions I would ask myself is: Why am I doing it? Is it for the fleeting feeling of feeling good as more methadone accumulates after few days?, Does this dose doesn't hold you/Are you having bad cravings? Do you see yourself as a "lifer" or are you planning to kick it down the road? How is it affecting your body at this level? Do you have some underlying health (cardiovascular) problems? Did you manage to replace the time that you previously dedicated to doing H/fent with some meaningful pursuits or hobbies?...this are just few questions for the "debate" part that I would ask myself but you can skip them if you find them irrelevant.

Regarding



BK38 gave you what seems a pretty solid info about average methadone(from now on - mdone) dosing around the world. From what I have gathered blocking effects of mdone come more from tolerance increase than from inherit mdones molecular profile. I could be wrong there but as I watched numerous friends "blasting through" mdone with H while being on 80-120 mg of mdone I don't see mdone having blocking effects like buprenorphine. I think thats why when someone comes and has a history of doing only codeine/morphine/oxycodone in "regular doses" (~300mg of oxycodone) doctors seem to be conservative with methadone and are generally upping mdone to 60mg max. But if someone was shooting 3G of very pure heroine they would go to 100mg+ fairly quickly. I dont know how much people on fent and ridiculously potent analogues are getting now but I would imagine more than 100mg. I am from EU and over here we are not yet (fingers crossed) receiving fent in our dope so I have no real life case studies to confirm that.

So 100mg of methadone is regular dose for a very opioid tolerant IV user. But who gives a F what is considered? It all comes down where are you at in your recovery and what recovery means to you.

Negrogesic is an outlier regarding methadone doses he was prescribed. I wouldnt consider his 380mg regular dose but then again he is not a regular guy. What I would like from him is to elaborate a bit if he doesn't mind, what is the reason why after taking 50mg (chronic) of mdone oxys are rendered pretty much useles but people can blow through 80mg with good quality heroin. They were increasing the dose of heroin to counteract mdone, and there were many ODs and lives lost, but nevertheless they were able to full on enjoy H even though they had chronic dosing of 80-120mg of mdone cruising through their body. If they were on 16mg of buprenorphine I do not believe that they could do that. And that left me wondering how much of methadone blocking effect is cause of its high affinity to opioid receptors (the way buprenorphine works) and how much is block simply cause of tolerance increase.

@BK38 can probably explain this to me , and I am not sure how much @Coffeeshroom is versed in pharmacology but everyone can play this game.

Regular doses of oxy 300 mg? I mean maybe for elite junkies but that cant he be regular anymore maybe 2001 but that would bankrupt me so fast.

Methylphenidate (Ritalin) IR 40-60mg is an AMAZING dopaminergic stimulant that works synergies wit Mu-Opioid Agnoist therapeutic effects SIGNIFICANTLY enhancing the painkilling properties of the Opioid

In the UK methylphenidate is very occasionally prescribed to (usually palliative) patients who require large amounts of opioids for pain control.

I DO know that right up until the early 1980s London had one specific (injecting) drug scene in which methylphenidate (Ritalin) and dipipanone/cyclizine (Diconal) were the mainstays.

To quote a US citizen who witnessed the scene 'Rits and Dikes, 2 for £5 or 5 for £10'.

I should add that injecting either medicine is REALLY bad news and the combination truly Russian roulette. I don't know anyone who ended up whacking up Diconal who is still alive. OK they WOULD be in their 60s but they all died of ODs or complications due to shooting pills.

 

[Dextro .45]

CIBA Pharmaceutical had injectable Ritalin on market before. Two glass jars, one with pure API 100mg Methylphenidate HCL and the other glass jar was the carrier / sterile water-saline.

No excipients just pure Ritalin for IV/IM/SC injection …..10mg/ml. IV Ritalin is significantly more potent than oral. Significantly.

and yes, Ritalin (Methylphenidate) is often added to palliative care hi dose opioid regiments which allows for higher doses of opioids to be tolerated, improves cognitive function (reduces sedation) and increases the analgesic properties of opioid narcotic painkillers.

its just so freaking clean and effective, zero negative effects. 60mg IR + opioid + ethanol and its an oral speedball to me, very mentally alert, talkative, happy, euphoric, energetic, simply amazing. Ethanol + Ritalin increases d-MPH by 40% enhancing the euphoric subjective effects and taking after a light meal speeds absorption

During WWII NAZI scientists studies many opioids and determined that Eukadol (Oxycodone) was the closest to Cocaine regarding its euphoric subjective effects. The original patent states “profound euphoria and a potent narcotic opioid analgesic.

I find it very interesting that Ritalin (Methylphenidate) & Oxycodone were the only 2 drugs to EVER give me true euphoria. And Ritalin & Cocaine are nearly identical in their MOA, both “Inverse Agonists” both releasing/increasing Dopamine in the brains reward centre Stratum Nac (Pleasure & Reward)

Ritalin - DAT>NET
Cocaine - DAT>SERT>>NET

Ritalin is nearly twice as potent than Cocaine at inhibiting DAT (ED-50) effective dose to inhibit 50% of Dopamine Transporters = required to experience euphoric subjective effects / reinforcing dopaminergic pleasure.

Ritalin will ALWAYS win out because it’s 100% pure pharmaceutical grade….and not some pathetic weak, cut, shit that’s passed through 10 freaking degenerates who adulterate the 80% pure Cocaine alkaloid to 60, then 45, 30, 20……pathetic dry, crumbly, trash. Pure Cocaine straight from jungle in Columbia is so oily, moist, shimmery sparkling diamonds smelling of ether / gasoline …..would melt in your hands from body warmth, fingers so oily from touching this amazing tropaine alkaloid, triple reuptake inhibitor, inverse agonist ….the ultimate antidepressant & euphoriant / Dopamine, Serotonin, Norepinephrine all increased in the brains reward centre …..damn. Just pure fckn Sex.

Pure Cocaine and pharmaceutical Diacetylmorphine (Heroin) in the same 30 gauge 1cc insulin syringe, injected directly into a vein and in 3-5 seconds the most insainly pleasurable feeling of warmth & euphoric bliss wash over every fibre of your being , your brain just climaxes with endorphins & dopamine …..ughhhhh ……damn those 3-5 years of injecting speedballs, quality Heroin, scripted Oxycodone & Dilaudid (Hydromorphone), quality Cocaine and scripted Ritalin (Methylphenidate) those cold winters,,,,,inside all winter safe & cozy injecting powerful narcotics 4-5 times daily, watching documentaries warm & cozy inside, watching the snow falling outside after taking a FAT shot of Cocaine & Heroin lol……my lord.

Oxycodone synthesized from theBaine is an opiate alkaloid featuring stimulating properties, as apposed to the sedative properties for morphine type opioids (morphine, diamorphine, hydromorphon, etc) Oxycodone is an uplifting, energizing, Profoundly Euphoric Bliss ….both dopaminergic & mu-opioid agonist properties

Ritalin 20mg & Oxycodone 10mg taken by a naive individual would be pure ecstasy lol. My GF is a school teacher and librarian (such a square lol) I would LOVE to give her a drink with these two drugs dissolved inside…..and see her behaviour change in 30-45min lol. She has never taken a dopaminergic/opioid candy bar in her life.

it would make her CNS cum with euphoric ecstasy……but ethically I could never do that without her knowledge & consent. I’d absolutely love to though…..she has Nooooo freaking idea on how insainly pleasurable Ritalin & Oxycodone are

Yeah man I nearly killed myself a few times trying to get through the damn methadone...

Cocaine without opiates isnt euphoric for some. Just straight to paranoia, concentrating on body funtion, etc but with opiates in combo yes it is the tits.

An Inverse agonist is the formal term for a partial antagonist.

 

[Skippwiggins]

I’ll say this. I was on methadone 2.5 years. Daily dose was 295mg taken at once at the clinic, on take home days was taken in 2,3, or 5 different doses depending on the day.

I had no negative side effects or cardiovascular side effects. I never felt anything that concerned me.

It’s a life saving medication. It should be respected. I rapidly tapered and switched to suboxone. I love methadone it helped me get my entire life back together. Suboxone and Buprenorphine(generic subutex) did the same.

Imo, methadone is a better option for most, if it wasn’t for the discipline of daily visits for your dose. Being on the dose I was on, I never had a single craving, and it didn’t take long to get a week of take homes. In the grand scheme it doesn’t take long to get 28 or 30 home doses, maybe 2-3 years. It’s worth it. I actually thought it was kind of fun going to the clinic daily though. Almost all state insurance in the USA covers methadone and Suboxone. Help is there. Best of luck.

I currently take 2-6mg of Bupe/Suboxone daily.

The reason I took 295mg of methadone daily is because I was using pure PMAF(fentanyl) and heroin previously. The truth is I was pretty stable around 135mg, except I’d feel mild withdrawal(yawns etc) by dinner time, and raised my dosage until I felt zero withdrawal symptoms at all, period, until my next morning dose. The truth is, I would have done fine on a split dose of 60mg morning and 60mg evening. Some clinics offer split dosing once you build their trust enough.

It’s important to know, that on 295mg daily, I was in great shape, doing cardio and weight training daily. Many people on methadone are diabetic, overweight, taking half a dozen medications, eat high amounts of sugar and are severely dehydrated without knowing it(most Americans are, most humans are). This can definitely contribute to heart issues amount methadone patients. I’ve personally never known anyone who has heart trouble with methadone. Speaking of dehydration, potassium deficiency can cause severe pain, nerve pain, back pain, etc. I highly reccomend a sugar free electrolyte powder high in potassium and high in magnesium. Magnesium also relieves pain. The best powder I’ve found is called keppi keto it’s on Amazon for $25.

I’m complete honesty, from 80mg, 135mg, to 295mg of methadone daily, every single dose gave me a beautiful pure high. Suboxone and buprenorphine also provide me a pure stable euphoric high or buzz or state of being I find pleasurable and very productive for work, leisure, meditation, exercise, etc. If they didn’t get people high, then they wouldn’t work so good for maintenance. A state of mindful awareness goes a long way into deducing what’s actually providing a nice high or not.

I primarily use fentanyl and am on MMT and varying doses for the last several years. ( I've had to come off a couple times or drastically drop dose due to legal issues and at times i tried to keep the dose low to avoid nasty withdrawal. )

For myself. 60mgs is too low and I feel terrible but I don't feel like straight death either. I supplement with fentanyl

80mg - No real withdrawal during the day. Night time I become antsy. I still use some usually

100-120. Feel good. Craving become less and I might still fuck up but I can overcome it.




120-150. Stabilize dose. Cravings become very manageable. Highly dependant on methadone and missed doses to me become more evident. ( I'm going to split the dose this time in order to get levels more consistent because that has been part of my issue. I think if I take half in morning and half at night I will be more stable. )


150-200. Top high. Tired all the time. I use at this point will begin to use amphetamine to wake up and be functional.



Everyone is different tho man. I personally metabolize fast so splits help me. To anyone wondering how much to dose. It's unique to each of us. You haveto find what works foe you. Don't worry about the numbers.... just go based on what works for you. You.also got to be totally honest about your reasons for using it.

Hello I’m posting because I need help and don’t know what to do. I’ve been using street fentanyl for about 2-3 years everyday. Now I use .2-.5 grams a day. I have also been on methadone for over a year now my dosage was at 169mgs, but it’s dropped to 135 because I don’t want to risk the heart issues that the doctors claim that happen at dosages over 150mgs. I thought I would be able to stop fent when I got on methadone but the doctors started me on such a low dose it didn’t help so I kept using to stay well. Now I’ve been struggling with trying to stop the fentanyl and just be on the methadone but it’s been so hard mostly because of fear from past withdrawals going cold Turkey(didn’t go through with it and started using after day 3 because I didn’t want to feel that way anymore) I’m afraid of having to feel that way again. But now i want to try to cold turkey fentanyl and rely on the methadone but I’m scared of getting those withdrawals again. I also have mixed feelings about methadone because I don’t want to be stuck on that and I’ve heard it’s hard to get off of and the WD’s are horrible. So at this point I dont know if I should try going cold Turkey off of both or only doing one at a time. I’m just at this point where I’m sick of it and I dont want to have to rely on anything to feel normal anymore. I just would like for someone to give me their thoughts about it and the best way to go through with this. I’m willing to try other medications that aren’t any type of opioid to try to get through the WD’s. It just sucks cause I don’t even think I could find the time to withdrawal and I’m just so lost right now. I’m a full time engineering student and so I have to keep up with my work, currently I’m doing my gen Ed online but I still have to spend a lot of time doing homework. So this also makes it hard because I have to try to plan my withdrawal around my schooling and I don’t know how I should quit. I speak to a counselor for 50 minutes on the phone once a week through the clinic and she’s some fresh out of school counselor who’s probably never touched a drug before and doesn’t know what addiction feels like and the first half of the time is the usual how are you what’s been going on how’s your use type of thing then she tells me I just need to stop using then the rest of the time is spent waiting for her to write it all down then maybe for the last 10 minutes she reads out of a book and so I have no guidance there and I don’t know anyone who’s gone through a similar situation to help me through it and give me advice. So I’m coming here hoping that anyone could give help me, support me, give me advice, or just any type of help. Thanks.

Hey mate, I've been in a similar boat to you with mixing heroin, methadone and other pharmaceutical downers, mainly benzos and pregabalin.
First off it's great you want to get off everything. However it's a bad idea to rush and do it all at once whilst studying.

I'd definitely not recommend you go cold turkey from the methadone. You'll be sick for weeks and almost certainly cave and start using again.
You should wait until you get a week or 2 holiday, or if your summer break is coming up, that should be ideal. Then I'd just stop the fentanyl first. You should adjust to methadone only after a week or so. You could go up on the methadone temporarily but hopefully you won't need to.
Then taper down from the methadone. 5mg per month is about standard. Then when you get to lower doses you can make it 2mg, whatever you're comfortable with. I'm in the UK but I'm sure it's the same in most countries.

The important thing is not to rush it. Youre on methadone now and your body is reliant on it at the moment; if you go too quickly you'll be torturing yourself for no reason. Slow and steady is the way, just as long as you dont go up or use other opioids on top. Good luck, you can do it.
I hope I can get off it. I was dropped from 100mg to 70mg quite quickly due to missing an appointment and a couple of days of my script. They titrated me up from 40mg to 70mg and I chose to stay on 70, rather than go back to 100.
