Settling the Methadone IV Debate / Methadone 5mg IV Report

I’ve looked around various forums for opinions on injecting methadone tablets, and found that most of it is just conjecture and opinion. So here I am, finding myself with five 5mg methadone tablets in front of me, a 1ml 31 gauge syringe, and a question that needs a solid answer. Here we go…

Step 1: Crush up a 5mg methadone on a piece of paper, then funnel it into the spoon (by the way, it powdered very easily, not much resistance at all)

Step 2: Draw up the full 1ml of water into the syringe and lightly spray it into the spoon full of powder

Step 3: Stir stir stir!

Step 4: Toss in your filter of choice, making sure it’s tight though so I get as little filler as possible in my veins. I was left with about 55 units of clear solution, I probably could have got more out of it but I didn’t want to get a higher concentration of fillers.

Step 5: Well you know this part, find a vein and go for it. Unlike what some people I read were thinking, it did not burn at all to IV and went in easily as anything. I definitely got a wave of relaxation and sedation, nothing akin to heroin or Dilaudid or such.

In conclusion: 5mg methadone pill in a 1cc syringe and felt the effects to an appreciable extent. This being my first time trying methadone at all, I can only imagine that injecting a higher dose would have an equally stronger effect.
