ANY DRUG CAN BE DEADLY AS HELL IF IMPROPERLY TAKEN. ONE HAS TO KNOW WHAT DOSE TO TAKE, the backround and the effects of the drug, duration etc...i find methadone to be the most euphoric opioid,(im very opiate tolerant, former heroin addict, and now on 16mgs of bupe/daily, so methadone is the only opiate that gets me high, and im knowledgable enough to know that it takes quite awhile to kick in, preventing me from resdosing and being disappointed thinking i didnt take enough, as most other opiates take 20mins to take in food for thought: The quicker a drug hits you, the shorter the duration, the longer it takes the drug to kick in, the longer the duration, now for me being on 16mgs of bupe a day, id have to stop the bupe for 2 days, and just taking 50-60mg of methadone gets me high as hell, and yes it keeps me up all night, happy and content itching, along with the munchies, which i enjoy, if i mix a benzo with the methadone, then i catch a nod and more euphoria....methadone isnt the right drug for a opiate nieve person to take because it's a little different of an opiate high then the other opiates, even if the nieve person is aware that it takes super long to kick in, and is aware of what proper dose to take without it being dangerous. when i first started taking opiates, i hated it, but learned to LOVE it over time, same with benzos. METHADONE ROCKS, im a huge BOOB too

it is very addictive and abusive and a CII drug. be careful everyone, the methadone clinic downtown in my area, has 700 patients, just that one clinic, and on average atleast 2 people die every 3 weeks from overdoses when they get "take outs" and buying benzos off the streets...methadone is nothing but oral heroin...with along half life, and a long high.expect it to take 1-2hrs to kick in, but well worth it, uw ill be high for 10+hrs, and W/D free for 2 days, IME
