Methadone for bi-polar?
I have a theory of using a low amount of opiates to give that calming effect to the brain. Giving that most medications still have severe withdrawl to them what would be diffrent.
Anyone who has researched or to some extent of knowledge is welcome. This is a taboo thing for the doctors but if there is any real docs get a hold of me for a serious conversation. Would also like some pharmacutical info on taking a 40mg methadone disk. Can I take it 10mg at a time? And what is the best way to dissolve it?

Thats the last thing you want to do. Bipolar people tend to also be people easily addicted. It's typically not the manic phase of the disease that causes the bigest problems anyway, it's the down side, the depression and unreasonable guilt.
So far a mood stabilizer like Lamictal seem to be the best bet. I have heard really good things about Lamictal, especially for rapid cyclers.

Oh please. This is not an answer at all. That would be like giving you a reason to take a drug. Just like uppers but your talking about a downer that will just make the situation worse over a period of time. You will need more and more for the desired affect. Try smoking pot if you really have to. But that can make you paranoid anyway.

hmmm...I'm not really sure why you would want to take methadone instead of say morphine or oxycodone -- Methadone is given to people who are sick( they are coming off of heron and they use it to avoid becoming ill, it doesn't get them high). And I really don't see any correlation between bi-polar disorder and the use of methadone.
