'done question- what do you think?

[twstedroads]

i have been taking daily methadone now for about 2 1/2 months and am
currently taking 70 mg a day which keeps withdrawals away throughout
the day and night until the next morning. i still would like to take
oxys, and such to get high every once in a while but it seems as
though my tolerance is unlimited. for example if i wait until night
time and slam an 80mg OC the high is only so so and it ends up wearing
off in literally 5-10 minutes! my question is what would i have to do
to achieve the good decent lasting high with a little bit of nodding.
i never ever nod anymore and that used to be my favorite part about
getting fucked up. what would be the best way to achieve this?
thanks...

ps - i am also getting my methadone from a dr. with monthly scripts - i get 217, 10mg tabs. apparently i am in a good situation because everyone tells me methadone from a dr. (not clinic) has to be for pain not addiction...

That is 100% correct

As for your other problem the ony thing I can thinkn of is too not take the done for a day to 2, or double up on the oxy dose., mabey add a benzo. but for goodness sake please be careful..don't want you going out on us.

i cant believe that my Dr. doesn't realize this. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut though. does anyone else taking methadone have this same problem or can they get high fairly easily?

Your dose of 70 mg is approaching blockade. What is happenning is that the methdone is winning the fight for your receptors, beating the Oxy.

The only other suggestion is the one you probably don't want to hear but you have to lower your methadone.

That's right...the very reason many of us want to get up to 80-100mg is because of the blocking effect...takes the desire to score right out of the picture. When I was taking methadone to get a buzz, I always went for the *lower* dose, because it seemed to wear off, and I'd actually be slightly sick by dosing time, at 30-50mg...but methadone just stays in yer system, and isn't a good drug to nod on....when I knew I had dope coming I"d always skip a dose, but again, bupe and methadone block the effects of other opys...and o.d.'s happen because people try try and then do too much of other shit. It's easy to overdose, since it comes on slow, too...

yup, the blocking is definitely the culprit here....suggestion: carefully taper the methadone down, and then you'll see that you will star to "feel" other opiates much more completely...Duckfeet said it right
