I didn't understand clearly from your post whether you were on methadone or had tried it. At any rate I wouldn't recommend it. The effect is so smooth ie the blood levels so even, that all the effect is swallowed up by the tolerance, and most people I know on it are a bit depressed. I think it's toxic.
I've got a soft spot for hydrocodone/dihydrocodeinone (Dicodid here), I remember (it's a long time ago and body chemistry changes) that it had a nice lift to it. Not so strong, but then it's mainly for cough. Oxycodone was a bit fuzzy. OTOH half a Proladone suppository a day (15mg oxycodone) would be OK. Having a variation of codeine in the name, it seems to make the prescription process more doable, I guess. Same with the suppository thing maybe.
