Although my experience is limited, I have found that there is no subjective, or objective withdrawal symptoms with just a 20-30% increase to my previous opiate dose- I can stabilize OF COURSE the decision to save myself from methadone..deserves a reward of a triple- up blast off.... then ya, sick comes quiker ..and without at least the 2-3 doses to make it thru to bedtime I would be off to an uncomfortable start. Lets say I do have the means to afford a 10 day bender... ? It does seem logical- it is fact..we see that heroin/opiate withdrawal is less frightening to anticipate, and a milder "hell to kick" ".. and with the lifestyle changes that a methadone routine provides,it could be the conditioning for a short visit .. 10 days to kick the methadone..without fear or pain ...then the awful 24-36 hours of torture we face till we can begin the REAL HELL of kicking cold turkey ..600,00 seconds till our 1st glorious flash of relief...when its better.. just the worst flu ever... not the vividly slow motion fire and freeze of every last cell ..100 weight sand-paper wet suit..soaked sheets, pillow, toes sweat.. sleepless..a totally un- distractable torture . And.. the knowledge.. a sip of methadone... and its just the 10-15 min till your body absorbs it.. 110% better.
The "shoulda coulda -if i woulda" regrets associated with the methadone "kop-out", had better be a finely tuned battle-plan... or, - its back to the clinic "sweatin like a slave"..
AND REPEAT...
...and repeat...common roller coaster..
It does make sense... but its not likely that the weakness we cultivated with the progression of an already sensible debate.. life sux.. drugs get u hi.. get hi.. u cant ruin what will only die.. ***
simplified.. if you are bionic..a super-sport will.. angels pullin your strings..and guaranteed bliss upon drug-free- dom.. You still need luck to end up on the 8% side of statistics.
what a pickle ... opiate addiction

Can you take norco and methadone?
You could take them together but its quite a waste eventually. Methadone works as a blocker of opiates . Heroin addicts get prescribed it to take away their withdrawal but also so they cant get high from herion anymore. You would have to be on it for a little while before that starts working but it eventually does. I used to take up to 30 vicodin and or norcos a day, and when i tried to get off it i was prescribed methadone. ++Addition++ First of all, methadone DOES NOT block the effects of opiates. It does not contain any of the opiate blocking chemicals like suboxone or narcon does. However, taking ANY opiate in addition to Methadone can be very dangerous. Methadone is stronger per mg than many of the standard opiates that people take, such as Norco or Lortab. So taking one of these with Methadone can very easily send you into overdose mode. This is not to say that they cannot be taken together, but you just have to be very, very careful. My suggestion would be to ALWAYS speak with your doctor or other licensed health care professional for advice on what to take with your methadone.
