Two questions regarding methadone and suboxone..

[opiatekrzy]

thats shitty and I hope you get some sleep and feel better, but this is a harm reduction website. starting small when its been a while is always a good idea. Some people even metabolize methadone in a way that makes it more potent, some less potent. Watching people you care about die is awful for all involved trust me. I never tried to attack you so dont get defensive this is a public space asking for advice.

Methadone has taken down way too many people to not be treated with caution.

its all good man, actually the reason why i chose to stop methadone abruptly and switch to suboxone and agree to go thru precip w/d under my doctors care as because i was SCARED FOR MY LIFE, i abuse benzos, and being on methadone i just knew i would be dead within the next year or 2 from the benzo methadone mix...i would go to sleep at 4pm..eat food sitting up falling asleep, smoking cigarettes that arent even in my hand. passing out on the toilet seat..and this is when i felt sober and not fucked up from mixing them..i knew i would die in my sleep...my dad even kept waking up numerous times every night to wake me up to make sure i didnt stop breathing..i had to do it...the precip wd was horrid, my doctor got a laugh out of it..my whole life flashed in front of me dring the precip wd and i couldnt stop crying, like a baby..all the guilt and shame, and dirt i did...jails...violence...hurting family..i needed that experience. pretty odd at day 4 im still going thru precip WD..goodnight all

Yea this is true guys, didn't really mean to take shit personally I just don't like when someone else tries to tell you what to do..Anyways, atm on 20mg methadone for 5 hours now after no opiates for 3 months, will I feel it tomorrow when I wake up if I get up early as well since the half life is so long? Also, will I feel opiate withdrawal since it's basically two days in a row only that I will be taking 20mg methadone each day, I've been off of opiates overall INCLUDING sub for 3 months?

Methadone isint candy, I mean fuck it should be limited to a very small % of dope phenes. I take the program seriously, not worried about getting high..I just wanna live my life and function. I'm getting real sick of all these newbies chomping on methadone, not knowing that they don't even hit until the 120 minute mark (or later). And if your nodding out with a cig practically drooling or the lady in SODO this AM unable to bite a chicken nugget really need o get it together-you wonder why strangers think us on MMT are all bumbs. Don't realize that your just making it harder for those and truly need the help. It was methadone or Walgreens for me, and I wasn't talking perscription.

No physical WD, maybe a slight psych WD. There is no definite answer, drug wds are subjective. And like dude said u might feel slight glow, u will probably sleep well.

u wont go thru any physical withdrawl if u only did it twice...methadone tends to stimulate me, its real hard for me to catch a nod from any opiate...i think i fucked myself permanently, ever since i touched heroin 8 yrs ago, i havent been able to nod off any opiate...i had my fair share being on methadone at the clinic on 180mg long enough, i had to get off of it, i gained 70lbs in 4 months, jumped from 120 to 190lbs...my body is stilll adjusting to suboxone...methadone is just unique and odd in its own way, egh my brain is liquid i need sleep, goodnite

I would take 10 mg max to start with. You can always take more if you want to but you can't un-take it if you start to OD. Pleaseee be careful.
