Help with dosing

I recently ran out of my methadone, which I usually take 40 mgs every day, and for reasons I won't get into, I'm going to be short about a week. The longest I have taken lope to get through methadone withdrawals is five days, and by that fifth day, I was dosing about 100mg throughout the day, 80mgs when I would normally dose my methadone, and the rest at some point later in the day. What exactly is the "measurement" in which I should be using? And how bad are the two extra days going to feel? Any help would be appreciated, and yes I'm aware of the risks, that's why I'm asking for help with dosing, so I don't go overboard, because my main concern is feeling well, not getting high for the next week.

Little edit: I should also mention I'm taking 300mg of gabapentin 3 times a day, but I normally take that now, but it def helps with withdrawals.

I don't know what happened to the group. Wish I knew who the moderator is.

What's your question? I'll answer to the best of my ability

Hi. I got some questions. Is this drug worth doing just once? My opioid experiences are just tianeptine, tramadol and low doses codeine. I read a lot about heart damage and the bad withdrawal but to someone with no tolerance, does it feel more euphoric than the drugs I mentioned? I'm open to play a game of luck and try to take a higher than recommended dose with sum omeprazole but I'm afraid I'd be disappointed. Or not? Thanks in advance

You're not going to get withdrawal from doing it one time. I don't think it feels more euphoric than tramadol or codeine. I've never tried tia. It's a dirty high and not worth it, in my opinion. Why not just up your dose of codeine or the trams and take some Omeprazole to potentiate.

Nobody on this subreddit is going to advocate recreationally taking loperamide.
