Experiences - Bizzarre experience with Methadone- advice needed

[cybergenesis]

Swim and SwimFriend had a bizzarre experience taking methadone yesterday. For both of us it was our first time ever taking an opiate (except from very rarely in life having panadeine when prescribed by a doctor when sick etc).

Swim and Swimfriend wents to guys unit upstairs, guy had a bottle of methadone which he gets once a week on takeaway. The strength is 5mg per ML. It is a yellow liquid. It tastes well like medicine.

Swim and Swimfriend initially had 3ml each.

Over the course of 3-4 hours Swim and Swimfriend felt mildly relaxed, things seemed less boring and Swim noticed an absence of anxiety. Swim felt slightly tired. But both Swim and Swimfriend felt very little. The sedation was very mild, barely noticable.

Swimfriend didn't want to try any more on this occasion, cause he had to go home but Swim decided to try another 3ml (15mg) at +4 hours. Thus Swim should have consumed 30mg.

Swim waited another few hours and felt no further noticable effect.

Thus after 8 hours Swim had apparently consumed 30mg.

Swim and Swimfriend have in their lives extensively used/abused LARGE doses of strong benzodiazepine, such as Xanax. Both Swim and Swimfriend are heavy, frequent drinkers of alcohol. Also both Swim and Swimfriend have used neuroleptic drugs at various times as a sleepaid. So Swim and Swimfriend have otherwise high tolerance to depressants in general but were opiate niave.

Is it possible for both Swims to have such natural tolerance to opiates that 15-30mg would not do anything? This seems bizarre. Or do you people think there must have been something wrong with the methadone.

Swim has great trouble seeing how the guy could have conned them with the methadone, the guy seem seriously concerned and came down and checked on Swim and Swimfriend on various occasions cause he was worried both Swims may have taken too much, and he didn't want Swims to be floored.

Swim has decided he will not trust or try methadone liquid again. Swim is going to hopefully get oxycodone over next week or so.

Any ideas?
