Methadone and Maryjane

[BiGbOi]

Hey everyone i was just wondering if smoking marijuana has any effect's if one is the methadone program. I am ok for drug test's i was just wondering if the smoke enhance's the effect of the methadone or if it just not worth smoking any .

Any help would be great.


Be safe and have fun !!!

marijuana increases the analgesic effects of methadone and from a subjective perspective realllly makes the experience a lot better, in my opinion.

[BiGbOi]

Thank's paregoric that is what i thought but i wasn't sure. I am on methadone but it's not really helping my pain combined with medrol and voltaren. I have no appetite so i am gonna do a little smoke as that always help's in that regard and if it increases my pain tolerance all the better!!

Be safe and have fun!!

Good to know. The meth makes my stomach feel funky. I can't really explain it. I guess it just makes me feel like I'm anxious and worried about something. I have NO appetite (this is only day 3 so I'm hoping that my body is going to adjust eventually) but I'm starving. Not a big fan of mj but I really need to find my appetite.

Yeah, although I've only used methadone twice, I noticed both times that it makes me feel rather shitty, and sick to my stomach compared to most other opiates.

[BiGbOi]

Yes that was my problem the pain and the methadone were putting me off and i had no appetite at all. The smoke really helped alot with my appetite and no bad side effect's.

The methadone is kinda weird i have only been on for like a week and a half i notice that everyday at around2-4pm i get real tired and start noddin but it's not like a good buzz high it's different it's not bad it's just like real sleepy. I thought the pain was putting my stomach off as it was before i was on methadone to but i think the methadone also has something to do with the way my tummy feel's. The smoke really helped me eat i hope that it work's for everyone else who need's it.

Be safe and have fun!!! ( sorry about the typing it's 2:30 right now =))

LMAO... it's 5 pm, and I've been nodding off at the computer for an hour. It got really bad last night at one point. I guess it's building up in my system and I need to cut back because I was just plain stupid last night. It's like one minute I'm here and then I'm gone, and then I come back again. But it prevents me from sleeping normally. So although I'm crosseyed currently, I know if I lie down I'll be back up in 10 minutes. Will my body get over all this? I'm sure it will. I remember back in the old days when one 20 OC would cause me to break into sweats and I'd wake up naked on the couch hours later. I got over that pretty quickly, thank God.

I haven't made up my mind on the methadone. I'm getting my script for percs tonight... decisions, decisions. In my mind, overtaking the tylenol in the percs is more dangerous than the meth. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

[goagirl23]

I prefer to smoke while on Methadone. The first time I took it I thought it was wonderful, it felt similair to an oc. After that I never felt good on it again. I have taken 2 types of Methadone. One made me feel really amped and full of energy. I was on it for about 2 months and toward the last 2-3 weeks I woke up on 3 or 4 occasions and the room was spinning, it was a pretty scarey experience. The "Methadose" made me pretty tired and I felt like my head was in a fog. However, I enjoyed smoking on both. I only use Methadone when I have to kick and I try to get it over with as fast as I can. Even though the effects weren't so pleasant for me it sure beat being sick and allowed me to get out of bed and function like a normal human being!

[exitwound]

all I've got are the Methadose 40mg diskettes socked away for a rainy day, and in the couple of samplings I've done I have definitely noticed the foggy headedness you describe. It's frustrating. I do feel good at first but I rapidly start to feel very "zonked" relative to the level of pain control I'm getting from it. So it's not a good pain drug for me, it seems, although of course I've only taken single doses spaced out by months, so I didn't get the methadone build-up effect but I believe the results would be fairly similar anyway. I'm better off with my morphine-hydro-opium regimen, flawed as it is.

[devilsdrug]

dont be quite so sure ew smaller dose on a daily basis might just be better maybe some day

I would prefer your regimen too, but when times are tough and the rations are sparce....

The whole time I was on methadone maintenance I had the exact same thing happen to me... it never failed I'd be at work, staring at my computer, eyes closing... tried coffee but that seemed to antagonize the methadone and make it wear off quicker. Green tea helped a little, that and taking a short walk.

Weird, I didn't know anyone else had to deal with that.

[exitwound]

true, of course. depends on a lot of factors. methadone is certainly dirt cheap....

[Canis aureus]

Hey,

what is this talk about two methadones...? I've been hearing l and d isomers. Obviously the one which I am having doesn't make me feel at all foggy. It's good indeed; I don't nod at all, but sleep well as a child.

Oh, had something about mry and metha: the problem being that one could not get take homes, if one is smoking. Shit that.

[BiGbOi]

I have only been on the program a couple week's i started out at 15mg a day i am now at 45mg's daily.
Other than the drowsines and upset stomach i feel ok ( except for my back pain). I was put on the program because i was going through my pain med's way to fast and ended up in some real bad w/d along with my fucked up back. After not eating for a week i decided i had to get some help. Went to the hospital and seen my doc i am now on the methadone program for pain and withdrawls i should also start getting some morphine for breakthrough pain next week if all goes well.

The smoke does wonder's for me and my appetite i just wish i could get rid of the midday cobweb's and i would be ok the voltaren i take does help out alot but i am still pretty much an invalid hehe. I am a single father (have a 5 yr old son named Kade) and it's really hard doing the daily routine with this damn pain i had a serious bout with depression when i first got injured but i am over that(thank god).

Whoop's sorry guy's i am rambling wow as always it's been great talking to you guy's.

Be safe and have fun!!!!

Yes i enjoy smoking marijuanna with my methadone. It seems to mellow me out. I am currantly on 150 millagrams.

[poppy]

I've been taking methadone for some years now (currently on 65ml having been higher and lower at different times in the past including injectable amps of meth until recently) and I've never ever found it made me drowsy or anything. In fact I don't think I've had any unpleasant side effects of any kind. Really all its ever done to me is exactly what it says on the packet

i.e. made me feel relatively 'normal' and stopped most of the most unpleasant withdrawal symptoms experienced by stopping heroin. Maybe that's because until very recently I've always combined it with heroin and amitryptiline(spelling). Doesn't methadone block some of the effects of heroin and vice versa????? so if you mix the two you don't get the full benefit of either?

BiGbOi, fair play for being a single dad.(I've got total respect for all single parents regardless of gender before anyone gets on my back! The way things are going I'll be one again myself soon..........) Anyway hang in there its hard being a single parent but ultimately well worth it!!! Plus us girlies always love a single dad, so its got to make you a bit of a girl magnet!!!(joking)

Also you guys in the US get prescribed methadone as a pain killer don't you????

I don't know anyone in my part of the UK who is prescribed meth as a pain killer, its always for drug abuse? Does that mean we (in the uk) don't use it as a painkiller but you guys (in the US)do,
WHY is that? Anyone?

I was on percocet at first this time for my back but i got way out of control. I would get refill's every 2 week's but i wouldnt have any left after 3 or 4 day's i was in a bad state. My doc put me on methadone to kick the withdrawl's and to manage pain. I know that i will be going way up in dose my doc said i will prolly be on painkiller's for a real long time. I have no will power and i know myself, if i have the drug's here i will do them all, way too fast! So i would rather just take one drink a day i guess methadone build's up and stay's in your system for quite awhile. He also said they will give me something for breakthrough pain.

About being a single dad, it is hard sometime's but it's so worth it my son is my life. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 4yrs (not my son's mom) really sudden. We just lost touch with other is the best way i can explain it. But here i go rambling again sorry it's the smoke.

Be safe and have fun!!!

Yes, Methadone works by filling the receptors in your brain therefore blocking opiates from working. When I first started using it I didn't know that and ate triple the amount of oc that I was used to because I couldn't seem to get high. That resulted in me getting extremely ill and wasting my oc's. I strongly reccomend one or the other being that it is dangerous as well as a waste of herion. I would wait 24 hours from your last Methadone dose before doing the Heroin if you want to actually feel it. Methadone has a pretty long half life in your system. Hopefully you find this info. helpfull....

[Canis aureus]

Hey all,

I'm against low gap clinics (blind dosing etc), because the dose shouldn't be capped to somewhere and all should be open and honest...

But, for a person who is in MMT, it is relatively good to try to stabilize to a relatively low a dose as one could feel oneself stable, without cravings and out of WD's... That 's just because one would have lesser side effects when one is at lower dose. In my case, it is as minimal constipation as possible... and not a hellish sweating.

BTW, I tried that choco thing (ate chocolate in the point where I felt the first effects), and wouldn't feel much difference. It could be thought that chocolate has some boosting effects because it is -- as far as I know -- a weak MAOI, and those tend to boost opiates.

I have taken Passiflora incarnata in the hopeof boost, but didn't find that effective at all. Been reading that catsclaw may have effects in boosting methadone... I should try, when I have opportunity. And as those possible potentiators are in question, I would like to try them because I think that they won't potentiate the side-effects but just the effects of methadone.

Well I can officially answer this. It is a wonderful high. It made me less drowsy, very relaxed, and happy. The methadone seems to make me irritated and agitated. So this was a nice counterbalance to that feeling.

[Canis aureus]

Hey BDG,

are you in MMT? Have you problems with UA's there? I mean, if smoking MJ...

[Paregoric Kid]

methadone has a d- and l- isomer. l-methadone acts primarily on the mu1 opioid receptor while d-methadone primarily acts on the NMDA recptor, like DXM, PCP, magnesium, and ketamine. it's interesting that DXM was used with morphine to help reverse tolerance. there is some evidence that suggests NMDA antagonists (like DXM and magnesium) potentiate opiates and may be related to slowing the rate of tolerance, so it is probably a benefit.

[Badly Drawn Girl]

Hey BDG,

are you in MMT? Have you problems with UA's there? I mean, if smoking MJ...

No, I'm not in MMT. I normally take Oxys and Percs but ended up with a supply of Methadone.

[THEPAINTER1960]

No, I'm not in MMT. I normally take Oxys and Percs but ended up with a supply of Methadone. yes man thats whats up . i would take all those percs and oxys and i couldnt get high any more. I mean how about the money man and the heroin that did not cost pennies. Yeah now i am on methadone and well maintained i only have to pay 20.00 a week for 150 millagrams of methadone every day. And do you know what i do0 with my money know i buy good weed!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Peace

Well I don't take it to get high. I take it to manage pain. I'm prescribed Percs but my Dr hasn't upped my dose in two years. Needless to say it isn't helping me anymore. The Oxys work great but they are impossible to find. And of course it's all expensive, except for the Methadone. $50 can get a person 70 Meth pills compared to 5-10 percs. From a money standpoint, the answer is clear. Unfortunately the meth doesn't do as much for my pain as the Oxys. I guess if they did, they'd just be too good to be true.

These are normal side effects ..I get amped early am and then want to nap at 2 - 4 pm..By the way I dose at 6-7 am and am on 160 mg

Need to wait longer than 24 hours..I tried waiting about 35 back when I was still using..jacked a whole bunch of tar heroin and got pins and needles then it wore off in like 20 secs

[Canis aureus]

I don't know should I let my UA'ses be pot positive; I used to love pot together with opiates...

[Tar_Baby]

I don't know should I let my UA'ses be pot positive; I used to love pot together with opiates...

Id say go ahead and smoke pot and give the ua and wait and see..Because if you go to the counsellor and ask you gonna get the "I dont think thats good for your recovery.." and they may or may not even tell you if they test for it.
Ive been to 4 diff clinics and none test for pot..Curent clinic director told me its because "We strive for harm reduction and progress, not perfection"

[Tar_Baby]

Or ask to see a copy of your last UA and just check the panels. Speaking of piss tests has anyone wondered why they include PCP anymore? Is it just me or does noone ever smoke pcp these days? I havent seen or heard of anyone doing PCP in a loong time

[Paregoric Kid]

in the UK it's only used for addicts. for some reason they don't prescribe it as an analgesic, but they should, it could be very useful in many situations. it's strong and it's very cheap and lasts very long.
pcp is still around. dust, illy, wet, fry.

[HistoryofMadness]

pcp is still around. dust, illy, wet, fry.

I've never actually seen any but I took a hit off of a pipe once and it made me crazy for a while... more than usual, that is... I've thought for a while it was the dusty musty

[slugbone]

I've never actually seen any but I took a hit off of a pipe once and it made me crazy for a while... more than usual, that is... I've thought for a while it was the dusty musty

oddly enough i had a bad experience with that as well, we were smoking some weed in my old college apartment and about 10 minutes later the crazy shit started happening, tracers, doors that looked 500 yards away, pictures in my head with my eyes shut and all that.

i swear it wasn't acid, it had to be pcp. most FUBAR'd i have ever been and paranoid wowoeee.

[Hammilton]

I don't like to mix pot with methadone, especially couch-lock pot. I can stay awake for anything. I made that mistake tonight and i'm really pissed about it so I've gotta force myself awake cuz I don't feel like taking MPH- ritalin, but maybe I should.

PCP is definitely around. I was smoking with some people in a room, my first time. Was pretty rough, actually, I didn't know what to expect with the pot, sure as fuck didn't know what the hell to expect with PCP. I laid on a bed with a friend watching me until I managed to fall asleep.

It's mostly used in the black community, and it's relatively popular, at least on my last cruise through the ghetto. lol.

Anyway, I gotta go. HOUSE is on and i gotta try to stay awake.

[Tar_Baby]

I personally love pot with my methadone..Yes pot, methadone, coffee, and Marlboro reds...mmm mmm

[freedomclub]

15 characters...

[orangejuice]

Well with the pot thing and the methadone...i hate i hate i hate weed.. but if i have my donez i will definitly smoke...it jsut makes me feel a lil better... but with the wierd stomach feelings yall are haveing some of it may be because ur just not used to it. after the first few months of constant use it goes away...it also has something to do with ur body mass... some ppl get sick some dont..

THe nodding out shit is ALWAYS gona happen ive wrecked my car nodding out once and i take stacker twos whic are supposed to keep u "alert" well it doesnt work. the ONLY thing that works for me is to KEEP MOVING if u sit down at the computer and u have low tolerance//or take a big dose your gona have QWERTY inprited on your forhead...trust me... but lower doses and a higher tolerance you might not nod out as much... For me im a working man... i take it so i can work but if i sit and take a break i look like the old man sittin on the park bench nodding out... and with 24234234545756 ciggaret burns in your clothes..lol! im rambling on ....ima stop and enjoy my nodding out..... but on one last note im sure that the fuzziness u feel and the weird things in ur stomach will pass over time... oh yeah and by the way it might seem like im the only one who actually has the munchies when on my donez...but its not a constant thing some days are different...but i have definitly lost weight

[Canis aureus]

Yes, coffee and cigs with 'done... s'cuse me, have to go buing more cigarettes. BTW, I smoke Lucky Strikes, but yes Marlboro goes as well. Coffee is must, and though it's funny, it is really addictive. Got those headaches, if I don't drink; I could wake up just to drink coffee, and it messes up my sleeping: if it's saturday or sunday morning and I haven't have to wake up early (I still do, to cook coffee...), and then i just strat my day and take the done as well...

[HistoryofMadness]

I just realized that I didn't smoke the whole time I was on methadone! That shit just didn't do it for me anymore, just made me nervous. I don't like being nervous.

But coffee and cigs always, everyday, part of the ritual.

[MagicMan]

marijuana increases the analgesic effects of methadone and from a subjective perspective realllly makes the experience a lot better, in my opinion.

I gotta agree with Paregoric Kid, and not just because of his unusually cool nickname ála WSB.:cool:
MJ and Cannabis in general does increase, or to be more exact, IMHO cannabis brings out the "nodding" quality of methadone, (which doesn't occur normally unless taken as a MAJOR big dose).
But hey, this' all just me ramblin' on...

[MagicMan]

Forgot to mention, that while I do love MaryJane and all her nice friends, like hash, I've been forced into an cannabis drought by my clinic. And even though MaryJane keeps me happy and smilin', it's methadone that keeps me alive and kickin', so...

But it is a bitch, that we can't smoke pot. NEED SOME LEGALIZATION on a worldwide scale NOW! :mad:

Oh well...:rolleyes:

[Tar_Baby]

Hey everyone i was just wondering if smoking marijuana has any effect's if one is the methadone program. I am ok for drug test's i was just wondering if the smoke enhance's the effect of the methadone or if it just not worth smoking any .

Any help would be great.


Be safe and have fun !!!

Its part of my daily morning ritual..6 am go to clinic and dose..6:30 am roll a nice joint and make coffee.
In fact I allot myself 3 and 1/2 hours every morning before work to smoke weed and drink coffee while my body absorbs the methadone...and generally my whole day is probably that much better than the average joes. :D
Any decent clinic will not test your urine for pot (thc) If yours does, mI suggest shopping around for a better clinic. THC doesnt pose any danger to mmt patients therefore its uneccisarry BS to test patients for it
Remember...you are not on probation here, you are paying for a medical service to make your life better.

[KiloByte]

Thank's paregoric that is what i thought but i wasn't sure. I am on methadone but it's not really helping my pain combined with medrol and voltaren. I have no appetite so i am gonna do a little smoke as that always help's in that regard and if it increases my pain tolerance all the better!!

Be safe and have fun!!

Marijuana will not only make the expiernace more enjoyable, it will ease nausea and help with the pain as well. Try it out.

[vanilla_mlkshake2007]

I just started smoking marijuauna again after a long break (like 3 -4 years ) but now that I'm on methadone,I smoke a lil now and then.
My husband gets some really good weed so I only take 3-4 puffs that way I am not too unalert to take care of my kids,because when I smoke marijuauna and my methadone I noticed I become more confused,this is ok when the kids aren't in the house,but when they are awake or in the apartment I try not to smoke,only because I want to be more alert say there was a fire or something I don't wanna be all baked outta my mind.
And Poppy us females get methadone for our pain as well.I am finally off suboxone maitenance and on methadone for back pain.Although its a low dosage,well 3 10 milligram pills a day to start,I kinda fix my dosage at what feels best and then manage the rest of the month in different ways I am hoping my dose is upped a bit next time though.Methadone I think for me is a miracle drug while others swear that suboxone is the miracle drug.I was miserable when on subs.
Yet hearing what meth withdrawals are like I am kinda scared,but I'm gonna give it a try,so back to the question I love pot with my methadone.

Yes i agree. My clinic does piss test me on a regular basis and every week they find pot in my system but they don't say much about it. Beside's i tell them that it help's me get through the hard time's and i will never stop and i guess they have just accepted that =)

Sounds like you found yourself a good clinic.. When I used to be in the program, my place wouldn't even test for it. Most don't right?

I think most clinic's DO test. That has been my experience anyway. The one I was on back in Michigan tested. The one I started at in Seattle tested, the one I'm at in Seattle now doesn't normally test, but "retains the possibility". Luckily they have never tested me or I would lose all my carries.
Marijuana makes methadone 10 times better. Especially after you have been on it a while and aren't feelin it as much.

A little off topic, but I am being urged to go into the methadone program by my doc, and he had little to offer as far as answers are concerned. I was wondering: I have heard that the withdrawls from done are heavier than an oc withdrawl (currently using about 300mgs daily of OC and being switched to done) Worried about the withdrawl... I know personally that the oc WD's are heavy, but doable. Also the euphoria is not quite there with the done, no?

Thanks

Methadone has a really long half life so the WDs last longer than they would for Oxycodone.

Thanks... would you say the symptoms and sickness is as severe?

Not by a long shot. Methadone works really well as a pain medication(I'm assuming you have pain). The withdrawls would be mild and there are many things you can do to make them milder. If you taper down to a very low dose the w/d's can be very minimal.

Thanks.... I think I will take the plunge. Methadone seems to be the smart alternative to a lot of this shit. Especially with the cost of oxy...
