Don’t take that !! its so addictive, Im sure your trying to get off of a drug you have been using right? well its just as bad and taking one drug to get off another is a joke. I hate it when Dr wi say its ok. Believe me just try to figure out another way to get clean before you start the Methadone. Please trust me. Ive seen my husband go through this and so far no good. Good Luck

I would not screw around with it. It is people like you that HARMD (helping America Reduce Methadone Deaths) thrive on. People that are not prescribed Methadone and just taking it for their own diagnosis.100 Morphine is roughly 10Mg’s of Methadone. About 30mg hydro = 5mg methadone.
Now this is not based on IV administration. So do the math. I am lousy at it so here is a good word problem for you.
And 10 at first is TOO much too take!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you what to do, but take 5! If your just use to Vicodins 10mg’s of Methadone might kill you. (HARMD claims one pill can kill;what they mean a 40mg or 10mg; who knows) if you mix it with a beer or something. (I cannot see 10mg’s killing anyone but I guess it has happened) People have died eating one aspirin too.
And I am going to tell you right now. I don’t care if your a Saint, and addictive personality or not, three consecutive days of Methadone in a row, (Giving four for sure) will render you into the most horrible withdrawal symptoms you ever experienced in your life. Even if you never took a pain-pill in your life. I assure you you will be praying for death, and it will last a minimum of a unrelenting two weeks of pure HELL, period! You will have no idea what the hell to do. If you stop right at 20 after three days of it building in you, you might go into a seazure. This stuff is nothing to play with man. This is for the men and the Big Dogs.
PS. If you take 10mg’s and live, tell HARMD. Go on their website. EDIT: By the way, realize Methadone takes an hour to kick in, you will not get the same feeling you do off these things as you do the Hydrocodone. IN other word’s you might not even feel 10 mg’s of this stuff for two hours and take more. This is how people die. And realize, whatever you take today. Tommorow exactly half of that is still going to be in you. SO if you take 10 today and ten tomorrow. Tomorrow I am misspelling tom on purpose, my signature) you will actually have 15mg’s in you. That might be enough to kill you.
