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.

Is 10 mg a lot 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
