Just had another 30mg methadone, a glass of cherry wine and a cigar, again.

My plantar fasciitis is playing up, and sodding screaming at me, so I figured more pain meds were in order.

Readying 40mg methadone, along with some adrenal blocking agents  (alpha2 agonists, not beta-blockers, fucking can't stand beta blockers, they make me feel like shite on a burger bun) and a muscle relaxer. I think, I'll have that last bottle of cherry wine (came as a 4-pack, of small 1 large glass sized bottles) and a cigar at the ready.

Just relaxing, watching a horror movie, waiting for the movie to finish, had 150mg oral cyclizine, to dampen down the itchiness caused by the methadone, and also,  because cyclizine and  methadone are said by folk who have been lucky enough to experience it, to closely resemble another opioid, an analog of methadone called dipipanone, which has  near enough legendary status, hardly ever prescribed anymore because its meant to be euphoric as hell and with massive recreational potential. If I ever want to try dipipanone itself (and I do), I'd have to make it. But I can at least, get a close feel for it, with an intravenous combination of methadone, isolated from the tablets and cleaned up suitably, along with cyclizine, again, isolated, which I'll have to, to prepare the water-soluble lactate salt from the hydrochloride salt, which has pretty shitty solubility. Not a problem though, pretty damn trivial, I've got loads of cyclizine, more than I use by a long shot, so no need to fuck around  with microscale chemistry to freebase it and re-salt it, I can work on a gram, half gram scale, or much more if I wanted to.

Its doing the job nicely, although the cyclizine hasn't yet kicked in.

Yeah. Took mine

Not much of anything. Did just make a small (10mg) morning dose of  methadone that way I can let it slowly get to a steady-state plasma level and start tapering down. Won't take more now though, barring too much physical pain to cope with from my joints, until I start to feel the beginnings of withdrawal, then I'll take another 20mg or so after a while into WD, not horrendous WD, just enough to make sure my body is ready for the dose calibration phase for the methadone taper.

Took my morning meds earlier. I'm making the effort to get up earlier than I used to to take them otherwise I sleep in and it becomes too late to take them.

I only just woke up. Did take some oxy IR, about to take morning methadone dose, or part of it, along with seizure meds and cimetidine.

I end up doing that quite often too. Not this morning though, I took them at a reasonable time.
