What opiate can breakthrough methadone?

Ive written something similar to this but this time im gonna make it short and to the point. Im on 50mg methadone daily and have been tapering down and i feel HORRIBLE! So what opiate can break through 50mg of methadone? I have a fentanyl patch with 2.5mg total inside and was thinking of cutting a corner off and sucking the gel out. Someone please help me out here.

i agree with the fact that adding anything to your methadone dose will just increase opiate tolerance and mess up your trying to taper off. methadone is to help manage your addiction. if you are wanting to get off methadone only to be using other opiates you are not managing it. i suggest just increasing your dose till you don't have the urge to use other substances . try decreasing your dose more gradually next time and maybe add some therapy to your treatment to teach you to cope a bit better. the ppl shooting up in the car are still stuck in their addiction and really dont want out of it. so keep that in mind. goodluck.

Is it a forced tapering down or are you doing it on your own? If you're doing it on your own then just increase your dosage.

I went to suboxone but that is also a bitch to get off of.

More methadone. Methadone is an opiate, it's not like suboxone that just blocks the receptors and keeps you from getting sick. It's an opiate with a long half-life because long half lives make it easier to taper.

Kratom. Gabapentin helps with withdrawals too.

Eh that’s a tough one. It can be done, I think, with like high dose/high efficiency ROA dilaudid, heroin, oxymorphone, etc. but I wouldn’t recommend it.

I think Fent would fix that problem yes..... for now and maybe a few hours an than what?

Wouldn’t adding another opioid do the same as increasing your methadone

I am on 60mg methadone. I am in the same boat. I go to the clinic daily.

I mean it should work with fent. I was told that fent stops methadone from working at least that is what my counsiler told me

After I went to the clinic today I took my 60mg dose then about an hour later I did a shot of fent and it rocked me. So I’d say your fent patch should work.

Enough dope will break through. I dont recommend it though because I can't tell you a safe dose for you specifically but I know doing double of what you normally do to get high will for sure get you feeling right and once the mdone is out of your system you can still get high off your normal dose of dope. But dont go switching back and forth or you will fuck up your tolerance and nothing will have you feeling right


[1 Points] brightmoor:

As someone else mentioned, enough dope will get through, but as he said recommending a specific dose for you isn’t safe. 50mg isn’t that high of a dose, as I’m on 30mg and I still shoot the same amount of ecp daily that I’ve been using for ~5 years.

The fent patch will affect you, but dear lord be careful. You are already on a strong opioid, and adding an even stronger opioid, especially fent, on top is just playing with fire. I know you’ll do it if you have it, so please just be careful and do small amounts until you get where you want.


[1 Points] janedoethefirst:

A) that sounds dangerous and B) why are you on methadone then? I mean, if you want to get off opiates taking more will only mess that up.

How fast are you tapering off? Maybe ask your doctor to have you do it slower?

I used to be on methadone ages ago and yeah, getting off sucks but let me tell you it is worth it.

Let's be clear, I'm not advising, recommending, encouraging or anything else the following: To break through Methadone there are several routes, some of which can be combined. The first is just straight fent, it has a higher affinity for the MOR than Methadone and therefore has no problem getting in there. The second being IV heroin (good quality #4 preferred) or fentanyl, the mass amount hitting you all at once is enough to say eat a dick to Methadone, unless your dose is 100mg>, then it'll be a bit tougher and the next part can help a bit with that. The last one can be combined with the other 2 and that is either skipping a couple days then using, or using in the morning before your Methadone. This usually works best one the days you have carries cause you can dose the day you pick them up, skip a couple doses, use, then have those 2 Methadone doses for any minor w/d you may feel. Once again, I don't advise this, please don't do it. Be safe, take care
