My friends have been shooting methadone for years. Are there any known problems about shooting methadone in particular. I know about the risks of intervenous drug use, but I know nothing about injecting methadone. I am concerned, perhaps about clotting, or strokes, etc. Can anyone shed any light on this? Does anyone else do it? I am concerned about my friends. They've been doing it for 5 years, and no problems so far. Does that mean it's probably ok?
Sorry, I don't know about long term effects, but I'm curious, are you guys shooting methadone, or the methadose discs? If it's methadone how are you shooting it?
I inject the 10mg/ml liquid.
Pills are way too big and filled. The liquid isnt much safer

Ive only injected the pills as the liquid ive seen is always the oral type with the sugar and flavoring. Basically there were two types I could score and their availability varied- the circular 10mg seem to have more crystalline filler than the coffin-shaped 10mg and eventually i would only shoot the coffin shaped ones. I used the standard crush and boil with water then strain through cotton. I did it many times with no immediate effect but I'm repulsed to even look at my arms now that im clean.
To be clear, shooting any pill without proper filtering (cotton doesn't really cut it) is dangerous given that you're introducing fillers meant to be metabolized in your stomach directly into your blood and ultimately the liver. Im not trying to sound holier than thou because i know how it is when you have to spike yourself daily but please know that there are consequences. You wont fall over dead, but having to wear long sleeves all the time raises questions and its tough explaining to people you may care for in the future that you cared so little for yourself at one time...

i just shot a pill, the 54/142. all i did was did it like the oxys. mix it w/ water filter it through cotton. you gotta use quite a bit of water and have alot of filler left in the spoon. I was just curious cause i couldnt find anything online so did it myself. I missed at 1st and it burned, but then hit the vein and was painless. immediately before i even finished pushing it in i felt a warm feeling all over like the oxys used to give me, then calm and relax. i did half then unstrapped my arm to see how it effected me and did the other half, just to make sure not to od. coulda prolly got away with doing one or 2 more at the same time..... 8-|
ive been on dope now for 7 years and have found that shootin methadone isnt exactly much different then dissolving and swallowing them..comin from sum one who injects daily nhas a 100 plus habit,,,it never did anything different than drinking it...also...has anyone ever banged opanas? they jel up on me..waste my time frustrate me to squirt blood all over the bathroom wal etc..just wondering
Okay.... I looked for DAYS for information on how to properly shoot methadone pills. No one gave a straight answer until today. First, yesterday someone said to put the pills in water, let them disolve, and put it through a coffee strainer and suck it into your syringe. I wasted 30 mg. doing this. Finally today I decided to do it the old fashioned way: First I crushed the pills up, put it in a spoon, I put about 1 1/2 cc of water (you need extra water because there's A LOT of fillers in most pills), then I cooked some of the BS out by putting a lighter to the spoon, I put a nice sized piece of cotton in there and sucked it out. You're going to get left with a lot of the filler on the spoon but that sh*t is no good for you so don't try to get too much of that in your syringe! I only did 30 mg.s because I didn't know how it was going to affect me but with about a bundle-a-day habit I probably need at least 60mgs to get the rush I want. But 30 did the job. If you don't have a high tolerence DO NOT do a lot. Don't be an id**t, start off small and see what you can handle. I hope these instructions help someone, I don't want anyone freaking out and doing any old thing to keep them from being sick/in pain. By the way... I don't doubt at all that methadone SUCKS when missed so if you don't know how to use a needle I DO NOT suggest you trying this on your own. Thanks!
The liquid methadone is easy to shoot. But you can only shoot so much of it at once b/c alot wont fit in a rig. That is unless you have less diluted methadone from the clinic. If you have 100mg or more as your take home, they will make it more dense so it will all fit in the same bottle.
I am 27 and have been using opiates (and everything else) IV for about 10 years, I have injected methadone on and off for about 5 years, sometimes the oral: approx 100-150mgs in 100 mls of water/juice, if you can get the sugarless juice it is a hell of alot easier to cook off the water (using a stainless steel or better, a pyrex glass dish on low heat on the stove) because there is no sugar and you don't need to inject 3-4cc's of juice. If you continually IV meth your veins will be gone in 3 years (if you had really good ones to begin with). It burns like %$#%^ so be prepared. ALWAYS FILTER AND USE ALCOHOL SWABS ON INJECTION SITE. If you can get sugarless (tell your pharmacist you're cutting down your sugar intake and are concerned about that much sugar and your teeth everyday) you will be saving yourself from injecting alot of sugar and c**p into your body. (if you shooting meth you are probably not that concerned about your body anyway :-) I hope this answered anyone who has questions.
my buddy wants to know if you have to cook the pinesh liquid looking methadone before injecting it?[url]

I think we all know that we don't need to be banging any drugs but my outlook is if bangin some methadone will keep me from bagging tar then I'm all for it. People out there that have been banging for a while know that when u kick a lot of the cravings are just the needle fixation. I've be clean from the black horse for a while and I'm subscribed to suboxen but I've gone bak and forth too many times from takin subs to using tar that the subs don't effect me like the use to so I got some methadone 10's today and I just 4 10's and shot em the same would I would a oxy and I got a good buz

:opanas you just suck off the coating and stick them on a plate in the microwave and microwave them like usually 2-3:30 minutes until it starts to bubble like a marshmallow in a fire, it will turn brown then you take the hot pill and press it flat on a spoon, i use a butter knife to peal it up if it sticks, then i take scissors and cut it into tiny little pieces, add about 2 1/2 full syringes of water and just mix it up, it almost looks like dope in the rig...it doesnt really give you a big rush but you do get 3-5 shots and it will make you well if youre sick, if i do like 2 30's it usually makes me nod a little

Does anyone know what happens when a person injects meth into their veins and they miss, his entire arm from what he said felt as though it
Was on fire burning from inside out. He said it lasted only a few seconds but seemed so much longer. Immediately he said he arm felt very tired and slight difficult to lift and it was shaky. I just wanted to know if the is something he should see a doctor about or what? Please if anyone knows let us know. Thank you
tI did read an article published by a board cert. MD that stated shooting liquid methadone, whether it's in a sealed container or not, is not meant for IV use so it's not sterile enought to go straight into the veins and can cause absesses, infection, and pockets within the veins. The burning is due to either missing the inside of the vein or b/c it's not meant to be injected into your veins and if you release the tournakit b4 you take the needle out, it'll stop the burning quicker and lessen the bleeding outside your vein. It's really a bad idea and contradicts the purpose of methadone.
