I have been on Methadone for about a month on 80 mg a day at the clinic. I just got 5 days worth of take homes of the liquid since I am going out of town. How much more would I need to take to get high on methadoen on top of my 80 mg. I have 5 80 mg vials of methadone they gave me. At first Methadone at 80 mg got me a slight nod but now I would feel it here and there depending if I take Benadryll and grapefruit juice. I havent been lately though as I have gotten over doing all that. I use to take aleve, grapefruit juice and a benadryll to potentiate the methadone but havent done that since I started.

How much would I need to take to achieve a nod? I currently on 80 mg a day maintence. Anyone have experience with this? I only plan to do this once since I will have 5 take homes.
 
Your methadone maintenance program will get exponentially less effective at keeping you "satisfied" if you start trying to get high (which Bluelight actually doesn't exist for). The entire point of MMT is a gradual reduction in dose, not increasing it to use it as a government supplied opioid funhouse. If you "just do this once" what is going to stop you from "just doing it one more time", and then "just once more" et cetera until you've used all your 5 take homes in 3 days?

If you are going to abuse your take home medication I would be very cautious with increasing the dose as methadone is incredibly potent and can kill you if overdosed. I wouldn't add more than 10 or 20mg at a time on top of your existing dose, i.e. take no more than 90 or 100mg to start. Go buy an oral syringe or other accurate measuring tool & figure out however much liquid you need to add. Don't "eyeball" it or use kitchen measuring utensils as they are not accurate enough for the job.
 
I was reading online on google that people skip a day and take a little more the next day to get the effects stronger. Is this true? I was told by the clinic that it if I take 80 mg one day there will be 40 mg left in me the next day so if i dose again it will be stronger is this correct or is it the otehr way where if i dont dose and skip a day it will be a stronger effect the next since some is out of my system?
