question about methadone and marijuana?
I have been on methadone maintenance for about 2 weeks now. It’s been a life saver in helping with withdrawal and I no longer have to be shooting up all day long. I find it really helps kill any withdrawal I have but it doesnt get me near as high as heroin or morphine ever did. I smoked some weed the other night and it was the first time i got stoned while on methadone. I didnt find the high to be as good as it was on morphine or heroin as well. 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 lazy and put me in an agitated mood. When I woke up the next morning I didnt feel that great at all. 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 now since it takes away from the goodness of methadone I am not going to smoke anymore. Does anyone know why this happened? howcome I got this reaction with the methadone and not with any of the other opiates I have 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 “go ask your doctor” answers.
John: thanks for the reply. I started using opiates fr anxiety/depression and a severe case of adhd. Stimulants helped me but didnt help the anxiety at all and made me more depressed when they wore off. I truly believe I am the “hyper” type you mentioned and I think I have a dysfunction in the opiate part of my brain. I think I will be on this for life because since i’ve been on opiates I havent had a depressed stage at all. Some people say that opiates give a mood boost and you get tolerance to it. But I must disagree with that. I did get tolerance to the methadone and yes the euphoria has gone away but the antidepressant effects havent left. I am an opiate user for life because they truly make me feel normal! not high. Just like stimulants lose there good feelings and there euphoria over time but te effect they have on concentration doesnt go away the same goes for opiates. The antidepressant effect doesnt fade away but the calming and euphoric effects do. Thanks for your answer!!
