Drug info - Boosting Methodone

[Ihithardfrom95]

Are there anyways to increase the effects of Methodone...something that SWIM could take on top to give SWIM a better high, SWIM would really welcome and suggestions from SWIY.

[beena]

SWIM was on 50mls of methadone for opiate and heroin addiction and to be honest it blocked her getting high off those other drugs ... SWIM doesn't think methadone is really created to get people high ... but if it works of SWIY ... good luck!

[olduncle]

SWIbeena is right. Swim's been on the clinic a time or five, and it goes like this: They give swiy the first dose and swiy is wigging out because it takes a while to kick in. So, swiy cops and gets no effect. Habit may make swiy do this a few days in a row, but eventually it's reinforced enough and the extra stuff is abandonded. In swim's experience, swiy can't get high while on methadone. Less sick yes, high no.

Funny, then, and instructive about opiate addiction, that the clinic parking lot is where the travelling addict should go first in any unfamiliar major city in the USA.

Benzodiazepines and a higher dose of methadone can get some one high but it can be extremely dangerous especially when someone doesn't know their limits. I imagine one of the most common causes of overdoses involving methadone involved a benzo.

As for other opiates, as mentioned they do very little, this is mainly because the methadone has already saturated the receptors and occupies them for a long long time. I personally believe there is a fine line between getting "high" from methadone and an overdose.

ha, never heard of this. i just assumed that the addict was doomed to stay on his own couch! otherwise, traveling outside one's "comfortable" zone sounds very scary...

Swim travels for a living, and must connect in 3-5 new cities each year (unless swhe lucks out and is assigned a gig within driving distance - rare). Swim usually scopes out the addresses of local clinics beforehand, arrives a day early if possible, and gets there bright and early. It rarely fails if swimone hangs out in the parking lot looking to strike up a conversation and is willing to pay for the the other's wherewithal in exchange for directions/introductions. Plan B is to find the streetwalkers with a similar offer.

Some oxys in an Advil bottle for emergency use make up the survival kit, flying with gear is no longer an option in the USA.

Methadone is fine for use as a recreational, even though it is far from the best.

Mixing with benzos is not suggested.

Methadone takes much longer to kick in that others, and much longer to get out. Good amount of physical sedation too. Mixing with other opioids does not make much sense.

Methadone is fine on it's own, really. If you need more out if it, basify your stomach with Tums or baking soda after dosing. Perhaps adding cimetidine or GFJ would help too.

[weareone222]

methadone is dangerious it stays in your system and builds up stronger and stronger. swim was put in icu twice case of it swim also was on 2mgs of xanx at time. bad stuff. dont do to much will hurt or case resperity faliure like it was doing swim. it made swim very tired and could not wake up.

[fiveleggedrat]

Then you obviously overdosed on it. Combining it with alprazolam too is not the best idea.

Methadone is not for newbies to opioids.

[weareone222]

ya it overdosed swim. said it biult up case it was taking too long to get out swim system. Ya docotr should know about the xanx. Yes i hve very high tolarnce to pain meds i take 240 mgs of oxycontin everyday for pain

I think swiy needs to explain whether the methadone is scripted or is it just taken recreationaly.
40mls to an addict would take the edge off withdrawls but that amount to a straight guy could kill..

WE WANT INFORMATION...INFORMATION.....INFORMATION

[fiveleggedrat]

Christ, 240mg daily? Swim would take an 80 and pretty much pass out for the day.

Yes, OP please clarify using it as prescribed or recreation. Tolerance makes a huge difference, can be life or death.

[Ihithardfrom95]

Thanks for all the replies, SWIM used to be on 16mg of Subutex for several years but SWIM decided that was not the right place to be...Now SWIM is on 60 mls of liquid Methodone and has been for several months. Sometimes SWIM wants to run away and relapse while living in Goa or Amsterdam where SWIM feels they could be happy...not a vegatable...but happy. Thanks again from SWIM for all the tips and advice.

PS, SWIM has heard somewhere fresh grapefruit juice works ???

Methadone isn't one to be played with, once some one takes it then that's it, unless of course it's vomited back up fairly quickly. As i said, i think there is a fine line between getting a buzz from methadone and overdose, certainly trying to get the nod from methadone which my fiend has NEVER had. My feind has certainly felt effects from methadone but it's normally quite subtle and certainly not a rush like with jagging a bag or two.

On the subject of injecting or even smoking bags (which is pretty much pointless unless it's a LOT), in my fiends experience injecting heroin, whether it be half bag or a full bag, it doesn't do that much, it's the 10 - 20 second rush, the warmth, the fuzzy feeling but it's very short lived and is certainly not followed by any sort of intoxication or nod you might see on the bag a day (minmium) no methadone addict. It's pretty much pointless really, my fiend does it from time to time out of bordem more than anything else and for the fleeting rush that comes with shooting up.

Interestingly enough, sometimes the effects of a higher than usual methaodne dose can give a subtle hint of that opiate rush, but it's like...

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.

Unfortunately on this occasion i have NOT become comfortably numb.

[fiveleggedrat]

Swim once walked into a trap house filled with a couch of people fucked up bad on methadone. They were beyond nodding, they looked like a bunch of pale fiends who just shot up, lying down and unable to really communicate. Swim thought they were OD'ing from how they looked.

Once again, methadone is only for people with good experience with opioids.

The best (and probably the only way for someone on MMT) for really boosting methadone is take much less (like 1/4 or 1/8) for a few days/weeks before. Then take your normal dose(careful not to od, alltough uncommom,but possible), and you will see that you will feel something from it.. Don't expect much alltought... And about mixing with other drugs.. Antihistamines like hydroxyzine will boost methadone but will add a lot of sedation to it..And Benzodiazepines can cause a boost in the euphoria that methadone brings but they can also dull the effect or simply put you into sleep or even OD. Be real careful with mixing benzos and methadone specially if you are the kind of guy that carrys lots of benzos with him all the time and takes them like candy.. Even if you won't OD in the first times Someday will go wrong and you can die.. be really careful with mixing benzos and other sedatives, specially opiates and alchool.

So if you have take homes and want to experience something from methadone, take less, not more..

very good post! sounds like spoken from a true professional!

Ethyl, agreed. in concept, at least. (not experience)

Perhaps this is inappropriate to mention, but there are some documents in the medical section that mention people abusing Soma (cariprosodol) by taking 3-5 at once for potentiating opiates & creating some good euphoric feelings...although anyone not accustomed to the effects of the drug would be STUPID to jump in with a dose that high! if someone were to try this, they'd better be careful about developing a new addiction as well...at high doses, this stuff is awful addictive. it's also one of those addictions that no one knows for sure how toxic it is! Soma is broken down by the liver... meaning it can and will become liver-toxic at high enough doses. how high? I have no idea...I don't think anyone really knows for sure. better not be the one to find out. this should be reserved for occasional use at most. -DICK

Yeah, benzos and barbs and lookalikes like soma (meprobramate metabolite) are allready adictive, but mixed with methadone are a lot more addicting and a lot more faster.
swim really loves occasional use of methadone.
