Opioids Worried that this binge is going to bite me

[evvvvvv]

I have been on 25 mg of methadone for about 2 months now. I haven't been using in this time until recently. I have been doing H almost everyday for about a week and a half. It looks like this:

And I have probably been doing a quarter ($xx) every day in one or two shots. I havent been sick yet, even when not doing any for a day in the middle of the week. I have been continuing to get my methadone every day. I want to stop doing this H tonight but I am scared that I am going to get really sick? Am I going to need to increase my methadone dose? or will I likely be ok at this same dose. Im just not sure how fast the habitual dose is increasing/decreasing. I don't know enough about this and im really scared. I know my mind causes things to be much worse than they need to be. So I just need to know more about this so I can at least know how worried I need to be.

I know I explained this very poorly, I hope someone understands what I am trying to explain. I just need any advice or support anyone has.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this guys and gals.

Grow a pair, seriously you're scared you might get some mild withdrawal? It might do you some good. I don't know how you got on methadone but it sounds like you have never withdrawn a day in your life and you have that to fall back on every day to cushion your use. You will be fine which is a shame since anyone who does heroin should experience both ends of the spectrum..

Thanks! just the kind of welcome I was hoping for! Sorry I don't know as much about this sort of thing as some other people. I don't think that merits me to be chastised about asking a few questions though. I guess uhhh Sorry I'm not a bigger Junky?

you should be fine. your habit isn't too large by any means, you have methadone to rely on, and you said yourself that you didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms when you stopped using for a day.... put 2 and 2 together...

thanks alot. I just really wasn't sure how long it would take for WD to start, becuase I know different things have different half-lifes and that has something to do with that. But thank you for your help.

well that was a super asshole response

you might experience some withdrawal.. mean you will without increasing your dose, but i think you might just have mild sleep disruption, a litle uncomfortability, just forl ike 2-3 days

I was on 80mg and would use on top of that sometimes, if I had a little binge using on top of my done I would just feel "off" when I stopped the dope use. never lasted long. It was almost pointless though at 80mg..had to spend a lot to get high.

I am unsure if i understand are you taking your 25mgs of methadone on the days you do the H? or are you holding on to it?

You should not need more methadone You may feel grumpy or not up to eating etc but it is nothing i would up my dose over

Are you on a detox? or is this your standing dose?
I ask cause if it is a situation of you tapering off you may not be ready if you are still getting high

Just speaking from my own experience
