I think it is dangerous and maybe you should talk to your dr. before doing it....and i dont know what you mean by "help" you the same way, but you do not get a rush from methadone...i have been on it for years for pain..maybe you just need your dose adjusted...i wouldnt reccommend injecting it because of the dangers of overdosing

Hi Slim,

There's actually some very important information I referenced in the paragraphs below, that should clarify a few things as far as injecting methadone goes and other safer alternatives:

"Methadone is available in traditional pill, sublingual tablet, and two different formulations designed for the patient to drink. Drinkable forms include ready-to-dispense liquid, and "Disket" which is a tablet designed to disperse itself in water for oral administration, used in a similar fashion to Alka-Seltzer. The liquid form is the most common as it allows for smaller dose changes. Methadone is almost as effective when administered orally as by injection. In fact, injection of methadone does not result in a "rush" as with some other strong opioids such as morphine or hydromorphone, because its extraordinarily high volume of distribution causes it to diffuse into other tissues in the body, particularly fatty tissue; the peak concentration in the blood is achieved at roughly the same time, whether the drug is injected or ingested. When injecting Methadone, only pills have the least-dangerous cautions although it can easily cause collapsed veins, bruising, swelling and possibly other harmful effects. Methadone pills often contain talc that, when injected, produces a swarm of tiny solid particles in the blood, causing numerous minor blood clots. These particles cannot be filtered out before injection, and will accumulate in the body over time, especially in the lungs and eyes, producing various complications such as pulmonary hypertension, an irreversible and progressive disease."

"Methadone should not be injected either. While it has been done in extremely diluted concentrations, instances of cardiac arrest have been reported as well as damaged veins from sugar and other ingredients (Sugar-Free syrups also should not be injected). Oral medication offers safety, simplicity and represents a step away from injection-based drug abuse in those recovering from addiction. U.S. federal regulations require the oral form in addiction treatment programs."

Hopefully this information provides you with another perspective into using this medication in the most effective and safe way possible.

Dear Kim, your reply does not answer the question which is why you should not even post because you dont know what you are talking about. When you start the done clinic you will get high as *u*k. So to answer Slim's question you should have said nothing, i dont know or NOTHING. But Slim David gives you the most accurate, answer. My only comment is that if you are going to the clinic you would have to save your dose in your mouth spit it out then inject it and i dont think shooting spit is a good thing. Please be careful, hope you get to a point you are just happy and god bless.

Wow!!! I gave him good advice. When you have a bachelor's in abnormal psychology, then, and maybe then you should post!!! I went through school on methadone and that's on 200 mg. So before you speak, know what your talking about. And god bless the hell out of you.

you do get high on methadone but if u take it for long periods you stop getting high. you need it just to feel normal methadone is synthetic herion.. just like most strong pain killers. . methadone is used for a variety of medical issue pain\with drawn etc...if your going to talk about something please know what your talking about. it does get you very high.

GIVUM HELL KIM, I agree with u 100%. People should not comment about someone they know nothing about.. I get a good laugh out of all those who say "its not sterile". It is sterile, read the ingredients, ethel alcohol is in it just for that porpose.. I worked in the medical field for over 25 years and 10 of that was spent in my fathers pharmacy. I was counseling patients on drug interactions long before most of these rookies were even thought of..much less born. I know alot about medications,doses, interactions and not just about narcotics. I can't believe some of the absolutly wrong and stupid s*** people post.. Have you really been on 200mg a day??? That is an awful lot, enough to cause some serious heart problems.. elongated QT wave form. Doses that high will also cause cardiomyothapy something you do not want to have.. Its and enlarged heart caused by high doses of Methadone or other opiates and or alcohol abuse. I am on 100mg and will not go up under any circumstances. I would quit before going up. {edited for safety}. You will only feel great if you r NOT ON METHADONE. Not recommended for lightweights at all. I was on 100 mg for a few months and walked off it due to withdrawels every day (metabolism to high). When I injected 3 or 4cc after that I would get really messed up for 7 plus hours...

... the post before was very informative. And for the damn record no you dont get high from methadone. There is no rush. At best it makes you tired if you're on a decent dose. Ive been on it for a while. The liquid kind. And mine isnt syrup. Its straight methadone. You can inject soda if you want to . Doesnt mean you should. You can inject it. But honestly I wouldnt. Go find dope if you want to get high. Its five buck a bag. Methadone is to keep you clean. If you wanna be a junkie go get high on something made for getting high. Heroin.

No. You dont feel high. Methadone isnt meant to make you high. If you've never taken opiates befor you shouldnt even be near methadone. Methadone is for people with high tolerance to manage pain and or opiate addiction treatment.

If methadone got you high when you started than you didn't have a habit when you started. You've subjected yourself to what an addiction truly is by joining a clinic. Normally I feel bad for the kids who sign up at the clinic after toying around for a few years, but for you my friend welcome to slavery you won't do well at all.

Would anyone else agree that to an extent "getting high" may not mean the same thing from one person to the next. All depends what your after, what puts you where you wanna be, personally its not a high for me and im at 180 for 4 yrs now. I have never done H i was up to 30 10/325 norco and 2 80 mg oxy a day and i know now 180 is ridiculous for me but what can i say it is what it is i just signed up for blind dose to try and get down. Any ways the info i got from a pain management Dealer is the reason they like to use methadone is its a great pain killer that offers little or no euphoric properties im not a doctor and dont claim to know anything for sure but it makes sense and parallels the effects i experience. Just a thought i had

Bad idea, I don't know you but from my experience people that try to slam methadone are just trying to get high. if your dose is not holding you simply get an increase instead of performing a familiar ritual.

Been on methadone for 10 years and before that heroin 5 years and still use on top most days unfortunately but the point I'm making is no methadone does not get you High at all. In fact your pretty hard pushed to get high off the gear these days. And many years ago when I was young and stupid I injected methadone and it did absolutely nothing so yeah if u want to feel something go score

100% agreed. If you can any way possible not start at a done clinic, DONT! If you do and stay for longer than a month and keep going up on your dose, yes you just basically gave your self away to a chemically driven form of slavery. It sucks.

Me too, I have been on 210 for about 7 years now and I sometimes stay feeling sick all day. It only just holds me. I could go up more but, I figure I got to stop somewhere as, I too rapidly metabolize methadone. When they did my peak and trough, they found that my blood levels drop right when they should peak. I have NEVER been high "as f***" on methadone, ever. But, then I already had a tolerance to opiates before I ever took it. However, in spite of that, the most ive ever gotten was perhaps a little drowsy when taking extra hoping to get "high". I have noticed that, for me, personally, the wafers seen to hold me noticably better than the liquid.

Methadone will get you high even if you do dope all the time but you gotta do enough. I used to take it from my dads and brothers take homes to get high. Its also for pain management and addiction. I was born addicted to methadone 29 years ago. A lot of you people are ignorant to methadone and don't know s*** about it.

I've abused methamphetamine years ago and it just made me ill. Wish I lived where you all live cos the methadone we get here does f*** all. Been on 100ml for 12 years on and off and my meth just holds me but still take it really early every morning. Mind you the gear is that s*** here nowadays that does f*** all. Really hard to get tablets in uk. I'm lucky I get tamazepam off doctor but no one else does and it was like drawing blood out of a stone. DOCTOR NO are all the doctors in England. Used to get tablets online but my mate died from taking them. Anyway I wouldn't inject meth. When I was young and really stupid I did and it did nothing. And it will make you really ill.

I have been on 210 milligrams for 7 years and I NEVER NEVER NEVER get any kind of "high" from it. Even if I take a bit extra, I STILL DO NOT get "high" in any way shape or form. The only thing that happens if I take extra, is I feel sick at my stomach and a little drousy. THATS IT! I WISH I could cop a little buzz! Would be kinda nice!

Get 20ml barrels and butterfly's from your local needle exchange.....not at the chemist, they dont sell them....then you fill how ever much you want to take into the barrel. Make sure that you add more water to your barrel than methadone or you will burn the f*** out of your arm. Connect your butterfly needle to the barrel and you are ready to go.....

If you were supposedly in the medical field for 5 years, and ur dad's pharmacy for 10, then you should be able to spell ethYl (not ethel) alcohol, and withdrawAls (not withdrawels) etc, LOL.. I have been taking 445mg of liquid methadone for 8 years, and i assure you i am not walking around f***ed up. I was not a heroin user, but prescribed drugs, and i'll tell you without methadone, i would for sure be DEAD. However, every case varies because all bodies are different and act/react differently :)

People are all different. I had a 800 dollar a day habit with opana, dilaudid, heroin. I was taking them for 8 years and then went to done clinic and started out at 50 and was still sick as s*** and finally got up to 170 and I was straight not feeling high off it but it just knocked withdrawal symptoms out...... I don't care how big or little you are, take 300 plus mg of liquid methadone and see if your ass don't feel its effects and if you say you don't quit trying to act like a badass. I'm 6'4 290lbs and I feel it if I take 300 mg and I had one hell of a habit bad enough that I would excuse myself in class in college and go to bathroom and dose. So don't sit there and tell me people aren't hooked..... It's a different type of opioid.

Yes methadone can make you feel high just like any other narcotic..... It's an opiate so what makes you think it can't make you feel high like any other opiate? To say I'm on 200mg means nothing, you didn't start on 200, you started on way less and gradually went up. So of course you slowly built up a tolerance instead of making large jumps. How about trying 400 one day and see if that makes a difference? I am sure it will.

You do not feel high on methadone unless u obviously don't need it. if you have a true tolerance to opiate and H you will not feel high. I been on it for years and when i started i did not feel high, It simply relieved my WD's and made you feel normal...Maybe if ur going to the clinic for a high you should re-evaluate why the hell your going in the first place... Its people like you who give the clinics bad name. Why do u want to abuse something that is made to help us?? If u really wanna bang, don't abuse the thing that will eventually help you or you will be screwed if u ever grow up and want off h or opiates.... People are dumb and piss me off not knowing a thing about done

Methadones oral bioavailability swings wildly 35% to 99% and the sugar free die free flavor free 10mg/ml is injection solution missing the ph adjusting chems. All its got is citric acid purified water and sodium benzoate. just got to maybe adjust ph. it depends on tolerance and what point the methadone is at in the elimination process. I'm studying more on why that giant methadone rush sometimes occurs and sometimes doesn't, but the rush is just indescribable. I do know promethazine and clonidine and lots of other chems effect pharmaknetics. when i did it i always took 20mg diazepam, 2mg lorazepam, 25 of promethazine one hour before and the first time i was on 5mg methadone a day i was weening off at time and i took 25mg of done just to take a break from being sick. I find this drug absolutely amazing and has such weird and mysterious pharmaknetics and is my new favorite opioid im researching.
