Question on methadone and marijuana?
I have been on methadone maintenance for nearly 2 weeks now. It's been a life investor in helping with withdrawal and I no longer own to be shooting up all day long. I find it really helps slaughter any withdrawal I have but it doesnt get me to hand as high as heroin or morphine ever did. I smoked some weed the other night and it was the first time i get stoned while on methadone. I didnt find the high to be as good as it was on morphine or heroin as in good health. I used to love getting stoned on heroin and morphine but I find it is not enjoyable at all on methadone. I also found it took away from the effects that methadone produces. It took away the warm, relaxed and social aspects of the methadone. It also made me good-for-nothing and put me in an agitated mood. When I woke up the next morning I didnt feel that great at adjectives. When I got my daily dose of methadone I slowly started to feel better again. This is great because I used to love smoking weed and immediately since it takes away from the goodness of methadone I am not going to smoke anymore. Does anyone know why this happened? howcome I get this reaction with the methadone and not with any of the other opiates I own used (oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, heroin, dilaudid, codeine). And did this happen to anyone else on methadone (like any similar experiences)? Thanks
P.S. I dont need/want to know about how dangerous mixing methadone and weed can be. and I dont want no "dance ask your doctor" answers.
Answers:
first of all congrats on been clean,i know you are on methadone but for the innocent rednecks who respond in here that is a replacement medication that help family that have problems stopping heroin or other opiates.a drug non the less the whole point of methadone is to fake to your body pretty much so you are getting something but you are not getting high and you don't crave heroin(in the best of cases) so that said when people take methadone any other drug resembling weed,hash,cocaine,whatever will not get you exactly high similar to they used to,is the methadone doing what it suppose to be doing,so is a good thing.think methadone as a nicotine patch or nicotine gum,ok
you may miss the sense of being high on weed but believe you don't need that,you are doing fine near out the weed,if you have insomnia or depression or an eating disorder and you really need the weed later talk to a doctor about getting something.
second of all: for the innocent people out there,methadone is legal,is not Meth as within crystal meth ok,methadone is use in extreme cases when people can't stop shooting up street drugs,and is a good bearing to stop and don't crave the heroin that much and not get infections from dirty needles or other diseases or get killed or shot end in the life style kills more people than the drug,so methadone is legitimate if you really need it ,and this guy is in recovery so no want to be a nasty twat about it.
and weed is also legal where on earth i live,in california,there is a weed shop in every corner that will individual sell weed to people with medical problems and associates that have a card that have to be given by a doctor,lots of doctors here will recommend eating or smoking weed to relatives that have depression,eating disorder,chronic pain,insomnia,etc,and also citizens that suffer with addictions from street drugs such as heroin.
now the problem is doesn`t matter what you smoke don't really make you feel good if you are on methadone,so is a spend foolishly of money pretty much,stay on the methadone if that is helping with your opiate addiction,is a hard long road out of hell my friend!
i am a recovering user myself,i was shooting heroin for 2 years,i was always the functional sound addict,never lost a job or friends,never stole money to buy drugs,so i was fooling myself,this type of user are the hardest to deal with it,i got relieve i got medication for depression and anxiety,went to therapy and stopped doing heroin adjectives together.
good luck in your recovery and stay strong!
