What bad side effects from opiates or methadone? Any buzz from Methadone?

I got a little itchiness from opiates early on, but it was a really good feeling itch though! Later, that stopped. Then, I started getting the mild constipation from opiates when I started using it more frequently, and I'd get diarrhea when I went without it.:(

But when I got on Methadone, the constipation got MUCH worse! I still am on methadone, and I still have constipation. I only have to go take a dump every 3 days or so, and when I do, its like a project! Without too much gory detail, what comes out is huge, very dry, and extremely hard. When I owned my own home from '03-'09, the last year I lived there('09), before I lost my home and had to move out, I took a dump in the downstairs bathroom, and as is/was common, I clogged up the toilet. But this time, no matter what I did, I couldn't get it unclogged! I mean, I plunged that thing for a long time, over and over, but nothing..... Then I went to the store to buy Drano or similar, but they said not to use in toilets.... So I was screwed! It was clogged somewhere inside the toilet.:!

I would've had to have the toilet completely removed and taken apart which would've cost lots of money. But I was about to lose the house anyway, so I didnt have it done. Then, about a day before I moved out, I took a dump in the upstairs bathroom, and clogged it up too! I couldnt get it unclogged either.
In a way, I felt bad, but at the same time, I felt good, cause the bank didnt work with me at all to help me save my home from foreclosure, so fuck them!:p

Then, when I moved to where I live now, I was so worried about clogging up the toilet here, that I would go drive up to MacDonald's every time I had to take a dump every 3 days or so! It totally sucked to have to drive 3 miles down the road to take a dump, but I thought I had to or I would end up clogging my landlord's toilet, and I'd have to pay a lot to unclog it. Finally, I got a new, but kinda disgusting idea....... I would take a dump at home, then keep a long rubber glove nearby, which I could put on and break up the crap into smaller pieces that would go down the drain. So thats what I have to do!:!

Also, when I first started methadone and for the next several years, I always got a good buzz from the methadone about 1/2 hour after swallowing it. It would feel really good for a while too. This feeling was especially great once I first started on methadone, and was worried about whether it would work in place of H. So that 2nd morning when I was already dope sick, and walking back to the city in the cold winter, then I went to church for free breakfast and service, and then the methadone hit me while in the church service, and I realized I was going to be OK without H for the first time. It felt soooo good!=D

What side effects do you have, and do you get a buzz from methadone?
 
As someone who has never been on methadone but has been on morphine a long time you may want to invest in a bottle of milk of magnesia. Trust me the stuff should make life abit easier for you anyway. As for getting a buzz off methadone from what people have told me you don't get any real buzz from it after being on it awile. But since ive never been on the stuff before i have no first hand account of it.

This might be better suited for Basic drug disscusion actually so if you want it moved there just say so.

Actually i am going to move this to BDD as it's more BDD material and you should get more responses over there.

TDS to BDD mods move back or whatever if needed.

Methadone was my DOC for about a year and a half. IMO the high was was second only to oxycontin or heroin. Over time tolerance increased and I stayed up late getting high so didn't get much sleep. Last few months the buzz was more that of a strong downer taken with a weak opiate but I believe that was due to the 2-5 hours of sleep each night and heavy dosing the next day. Could have been part of the deal with continuous use, too. Don't know for sure.

All in all, I can guarantee that I got a solid year of getting very pleasantly high on methadone.
