No, 5mg's is a minimal amount of methadone. Although, methadone, as a drug, is very strong and very long lasting so I do not recommend taking methadone without contacting a physician. Most people who walk onto a methadone clinic get a starting dose around 20 or 30mg's a day.
5 mgs is the standard dose of methadone for pain relief for an individual who does NOT have a tolerance to opiate drugs.
I say 15 hours
1 ml of methadone liquid = 10 mg of methadone
10mg of methadone is equal to 80 mg of oxycontin
methadone
dilaudid is stronger then roxicodone if you are on methadone
My friend takes the liquid methadone from the clinic - she said 1 tsp contains 50mg of methadone.
5mg of Methadone tends to be about $5.
To the best of my knowledge the highest is 50 mg
100 micro grams of fentanyl is stronger than the 85 mg of methadone.
it really depends on if your opiate tolerant or not. Whether or not your trying to get high or for pain relief or getting off of drugs. I just started methadone maintence for a opiate dependency(medical reasons 2 fractures in my sternum ) the DR started me at 20mg for the first hour it was more of a warm everything is ok and motivated to do things kind of feelings. it is supposed to be at its peak at 3 to 5 hours but to answer your question no 10 mg is really not enough 20 mg is ok for me and i was taking around 120 mg of oxycondone a day and about 75 mgs of morphine a day. It also depends on the person. i hope i answered your ? suffeciently
on a low dosage the opiates will not be blocked by methadone. 30 mg will not block it
60 mg when they mix it in the clinic, powder in to juice 1mil= 1mg,5 mil juice =5mg,and so on.
