Title: Methadone - Apprehensive need advice
Post by: deadhead89 on July 10, 2012, 10:46 am
Hi all, i have 24  Methadone 20mg sent by mistake

I am a bit worried about taking them as I have heard quite a few bad reports about them.

Is there any recreational value? what about compared to codeine?

Should I snort or Oral ?

I have done codeiene and oxy a couple of times but not enough to have a tolerance.

Heya,

My advice would be to split those 20mg tabs into quarters (5mg). 5mg Methadone will be equivalent to about 10mg oxycodone. BUT... Keep in mind. Methadone also takes a LOT longer to come into effect before you will notice any intoxication. Do not re-dose for AT LEAST 3-4 hours otherwise you could easily OD.

If 5mg doesn't work for you. Wait, and try again (you have heaps!). It should definitely have some recreational value. Also keep in mind that kicking even a small done habit will be very painful - so go easy and split those highs up. Good luck my friend.

Well, I generally don't recommend going down the road of opiates, especially if unintended. Personally, I'd just dispose of an opiate if I received it by mistake, but I'll get off my high horse and offer some practical advice:

Oxycodone has a half-life of 3-5 hours. Methadone has a half-life of 15-60 hours. In other words, you're at great risk of the methadone accumulating if you take doses several times in one day. Be sure to consider this if you have work/school/driving or other physically/mentally-demanding things to do even the next day. The same goes for the side effects.

I am sending them back now anyway

Didnt really want to take them simply because I hear they are a bit more high risk profile than other drugs dont get me wrong i like oxy, but from i heard about methadone i dont think i wanna test it out
