shooting up methadone

[The Monoxide Child]

swim has shot up morphine a few times, and really enjoyed, swim doesnt really have a problem letting a good thing go after once, so addiction hasnt ever been an issue, but swim was wondering how to prepare methadone before shooting it up, just wondering if any special preperations thanks

Methadone can't (or rather, should NOT) be shot up. Swiy could probably do it somehow, but I don't know how. Methadone pills cannot be injected and the oral liquid cannot be injected either. Like I said, I'm sure swiy could extract the methadone from both (pill/liquid) but I wouldn't have a clue how, so I would just suggest eating them. I've heard injecting it really isn't much better than eating them, as they have a very high oral bioavalability.

Swim is a long time heroin user and addict, and 40mg oral methadone will have him straight for almost two days.

thanks man, swim will probably just eat 3/4's and sniff 1/4

It is pretty pointless to insuffulate methadone pills aswell.They burn quite abit,make a person sneeze and loose most of it,and with methadones high oral bioavailabillity this is pretty much a waste.

[jerbles]

what does swiy have, 10mg pills? 10s are the highest the pills come, except for the wafers, which is just 4 10mg pills in one.

I would agree that sniffing them isn't too good of an idea, mostly just because they burn like a motherfucker, but also because they don't last near as long. If swiy is in the mood to sniff something than by all means, go ahead. It isn't "pointless", and it will effect swiy just as much as eating it would, only it will hit him faster but not last near as long (1-2 hours maybe).

Swim has done the same thing before (eating 3/4 and sniffing 1/4), only sniffing to feel the effects faster though.

Well not totally pointless but it burns very baddly and will usually make someone sneeze and waste most the methadone.Eating them is the best way to go.

[Feelingood]

purely out of curiosity, is it possible to smoke a methadone pill? i realize this would most likely be a huge waste. but SWIM enjoys smoked oxy...

[Dissociative]

Why would swiy even want to try to make the methadone last any shorter? Methadone, though not an amazing, is amazing for people who are heavily addicted because it lasts for so long. Swim will always try buying methadone because it is so much cheaper in the long run when you count in how long it lasts. I am sure that it is possible, swiy could even try preparing it similiar to oxy, but swim still thinks that you can't beat the oral route.

And btw, snorting methadone is awful, it burns for awhile, the drip is terrible, and it really doesn't do that much for too long.

One thinks that the point most SWImmers were trying to get across was that while injecting is possible, injecting the forms available is not practical. (example: moose urine is injectable but people generally wont do it)

Since the syrup and the pills have a high bioAv there is no point to shooting it because the drug in this form does a better job orally.

One should join the discussion rather than just strait out calling people dumb on SWIYour first post, some people may frown upon that.

Hope this has been of help Peace

Swim shot his methadone one night, thinking it would make the measly 30ml he had, enough to hold him(stop him withdrawing). Swim just drawn it up, out of the bottle an shot it, took a while to do the lot. It didn't burn at all, like some others were just saying. Swim just tasted it as he shot it, but was sure it did some damage to his vains, maybe it was just the quantity in such a short space of time?
Swim thought the next morning, he'd of been better off if he'd just drank it, he didn't even feel like he'd had any. So as swiys can guess, swim don't rate it at all! Methadone made for drinking, is best to just drink it, methadone made to be injected is best to just inject it. Well thats swims thoughts on this.

Swim read a story on methadone addiction and withdrawal. The man in the story was a heavy addict of methadone and one night he was writhing on the floor, screaming at the top of his lungs and when he did get to his feet, was acting very violent and out of control, he just needed his fix. At the ER the doctor realizing what was wrong, immediately shot him up with a strong dose of methadone. According to the report the man within 5-10 minutes was calm, content and from the sounds of it, in his happy fucked up place Swim doesn't remember where he read the story, but he remembers for sure that he read it and that methadone can be injected.

The methadone that was used was probably IV methadone intended as such, not the oral methadone which clinics give out.

As one mentioned, it is possible to shoot methadone up (in the form that it is dispensed) but not practical.

Methadone pills contain an insane amount of fillers/binders relative to the active ingredient: methadone Hcl. But even if you filter the solution properly with a micron filter or have clean ampoules of it, since it has such a low pH compared to most opiates, you run the risk of increased vein damage. Anyone who has shot methadone knows how much this stuff burns!

However, there are advantages to injecting methadone. The wait is very long (~1 hour) when taken orally. And despite its "high" oral bio-availability, taking the drug intravenously seems to make the drug much more potent (up to 2x stronger). Someone who is in a lot of pain, in withdrawal, and/or has low supply, might consider taking methadone IV -or even IM.

With that said, make sure you assess the pros/cons and remember to always use proper care when injecting ANY drug.
