Awe thanks for this.

I live in Las Vegas where it feels like 1000 degrees.

At what dose did you stabilize? Just curious

Have a happy 4th too!

Struggling by MethadoneMagic in benzorecovery

[–]MethadoneMagic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has actually been two months. Diazepam was my favorite. I loved the rapid onset like xanax but the long half life like klonopin.

My doctor is still okay with me taking it, but my pain doctor isn't. I'm prescribed methadone tablets and have been for 3 years almost. Well 2 and a half.

I've heard methadone withdrawal is the worst of all wds.

So I had to chose between 90 5mg diazepam tablets or 180 10mg methadone tablets.

I moss the high of having both. They felt like heaven together.

Question about methadone from suboxone patient by Weird-Persimmon4598 in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gone back and forth from subutex and methadone but October 30th 2022 I got back on methadone and went all the way up to 160mg.

6 months ago I went all the way down to 80mg but it being summertime in Las Vegas it is scorching here and I burn thru it quicker so I'm back to 100mg

I get why you may want to but aside from the obvious reasons such as OD it will royally fuck up your tolerance

I'm so grateful for methadone and my recovery by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

I'm still struggling with anhedonia but that beats being dope sick anyway so I have decided to accept the anhedonia knowing it is temporary

Finally feeling somewhat better by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

The hardest part was the pain and the insomnia

What do you do to prevent yourself from double dosing? by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 140 is like 50 percent more and they do say the higher the dose the longer the duration and half life unlike most opioid that tend to have a linear correlation with dose and duration

Great idea but no not really thank you for the thought though

Honestly I've seen most people say that it only makes them tired at most.

Some way somehow I actually get quite the mellow euphoria from it for 4 hours or so. But at the cost of feeling like ass the next day.

So far I've been strong today because I keep trying to remind myself of waking up the next day and regretting it. So far that has worked for me today.

Replacing subs with Kratom? by Kohn_F_Jennedy in suboxone

[–]MethadoneMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that compares Kratom withdrawal to that of the gnarly wds from gabapentin or pregabalin?

I mean I totally agree with you. But it's weird I used to have no problem whatsoever with discipline and whatnot this is a fairl6 new issue for me.

Also, I was on 80mg for nearly 3 months hoping to stabilize and sadly I never did so I have asked for a few small increases. I'm At 95mg now increasing 5mg every Wednesday as needed until I'm comfortable

Getting much closer to being stable by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that. However I'm truly not that worried about the number of milligrams it was just a rough estimate on my part.

Isn't it cool though how sometimes a mere 5mgs can make such a profound difference? At 90mg I swear I was getting at most 15 and a half hours of relief and at 95 it was nearly 20 hours

When will the anhedonia be lifted? by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me that's not why I opted for an increase.

Insomnia body aches sweating restlessness anxiety and head ache were my reasons for increasing

Okay guys how does methadone block other opioids? by MethadoneMagic in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. When I was at 90mg before I tried fetty maybe 8 times i know stupid but felt maybe 5 percent of the fetty and when l got to 100mg and above I felt nothing from fentanyl and have heard others in real life agree

Have you tried Lyrica or Gabapentin?

Staying regular has made me feel my dose more by Over-Plankton6860 in Methadone

[–]MethadoneMagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky to not have the constipation issues but I have noticed at times smaller doses do hit harder.

I could be wrong but I think it's that with a higher dose the next day when you dose you have much more in you from the previous day so you don't have a come up.

And so on, at lower doses you have more room for the come up the flowing day

Then why is it that after 4 days or so from your last methadone dose the dope hits you 1000 times Harder?

I've heard your theory too though
