Hey there,


I've been on MMT for 4 years, 3.5+ of it i've been on a regular dosage which is 150mg/ml. We have water based codeine, not the syrup that rots teeth and makes people think methadone has something to do with it. They are actually handing out booklets about the actual facts of being an opiate IDU. I never used needles, I was born with a weird thing in that its impossible to see my veins. Whenever they need to get blood from me they have to use a cannula. its a medical thing they stick to your vein because my veins keep on swimming and it would be impossible to get a needle in, register .. and by then, the wein is long gone. i cant lie, ive had succesful IV's but i've already been so addicted that the IV doses did nothing for me, so i just sticked to smoking it off of foil. it was 99x more better also, i could have a smoke the second i got my fent and get out of this w/d. i didnt have a care in the world where-when-why i needed to use, if i needed to use i would do so, like it was the most normal thing in the world. i never remember anybody seeing me and watching me or looking twice. i was once in the CBD's main shopping centre in the car park and had the sunroof on tilt and window open a bit so the sweet swell would fade away more quickly. im smoking a 10eur wrap, about to smoke another one (i used to use 30-35 bags daily). 1g = 240€ (good price) for 30-35 bags (it all depends on who makes the bags and how greedy he/she is and whether he'sshe's a user obv). the guy i dealt with the whole time had just gotten out of prison doing a 5 year bid and he got straight hardcore, only drinking and weed, nothing else. DEF no fent. he used to be an IDU, steal to get his dope etc. it was the thefts and the amount of them that sent him to prison for this long.

Anyway, what i really wanted to know, was that, if you have been on an exact dose of methadone every single day and taking at about the same time (2-6hrs window or so), can you skip a day without feeling anything is wrong with you or if you feel bad you can recognize its some type of placebo and you are Actually still ok?
I made a stupid mistake and took my dose twice in a day so i wont have anything for one whole day. I used to have like 2-3 liters of methadone stored up (is it a good idea to store up methadone just like that, you know, for later use? i kept it at 25c and away from light. should i have frozen it? its water based methadone 1mg/ml, as i stated. should be same anywhere in EU, our 'done comes from Denmark. I'd also love to hear other experiences about what happened when you're methadone ran out and what you did. Since my dose is 150mg, i dont think any other opiate expect 10-20 bags of 3-MF could touch that. But im never going to waste 200EUR for that crap.

Also, has you're bodies speed of digestion turned back to "normal" (how it was before opiates) or is it still as slow as humanly possible even 5+ years in? I understand, my dosage has also at least SOMETHING to do with it, but i dont use any medicines to help with this stuff, and maybe i should. Any other things people on MMT or just long-term methadone would like to ask/talk about that is not necessarily abut my theme of how long does it get for you to get a regular dose and can you then skip a day if needed

I used to buy a disabled ex h addicts methadone, 140mg a day sometimes once or twice a week and he had been on it for a couple years and said he could easily miss it a day or two a week with no major discomfort
 
I came off methadone cold turkey in jail. It took til about day 3 for the real wd to hit. Of course, knowing there was nothing I could do about it at all kept me from having the "psychological" ones that come before you really are sick, you know the ones where you're brain is saying "go get something /I'm sick" but really at that point it's mild...

Now, for me I always wake up in slight wd when on methadone maintenance just due to the body's drop in pH while sleeping. But once I get up and move around I feel better. Still, personally I think I wouldn't be 100% if I skipped. And I've been there 2+ years

But years ago when I was on clinic I would sometimes drink like half of the next days dose just for the high, and the other half I felt fine on...yucky in the following morning though and I would be up early cause my body felt early wd


And on the other hand, I know people who sell a weekend take home every week and doesn't notice.


Short answer: depends on your body, how long you go before wds, what your dose is. And how positive/negative you are as far as " oh damn I'm gonna feel like shit, I need some bags" vs "I'll be ok til I dose"
 
you had to WD in prison? wtf, why? you weren't on 'done legally? otherwise, how the hell could they deny you your medicine? shit like this wouldnt happen even in this 1st (3rd) world country where I live in :O thats just ... fucked beyond belief.
ive been on 150mg for 2yrs+, like i said in the OP, i accidentally drank two doses in a day so therefore was missing 150mg of 'done for a day.
i could've gone to the clinic and i'm 95% sure, they would've given me my dose and understood all of it, it's a very relaxed place and the doctor that deals with opiate addicts has been at it since '86 so he knows his shit. i'm sure he's a rec. drug user himself also (amphetamines, probably). anyway, i just waited for 36 hours instead of 24 hours and then drank all 150mg/ml. then went to the clinic the next day as soon as it opened (it was sunday, so 8am). i could've gone 2pm also though, as i had no wd's to speak of because it had been about 24hrs since my last dose (i dosed like 5-6 am after going without for 36hours). even felt a slight codeine-like high :D (from 150mg methadone. motherfukcer...)

also, any recommendations on how to store methadone that i have left over? in the fridge or at room temp?
