You need to be more specific than that. What do you mean?

You obviously bought the methadone on the street. I don't think most drs would RX methadone for a six month dependency. The w/d from methadone is as bad or worse than heroin.

How long have you been on methadone? If it hasn't been but a matter of days you should get off the methadone. There are things you can do to help with the w/d off opiates. Good luck and God bless.

No , I don't think you can be saved by methadone from Heroin w/d in fact, they are worse . Sorry, before you do anything rash please talk to Robert. You can get off the H without Methadone. I did and I used for longer than six months, I used Suboxone but it needs to be used correctly which is why I say "Talk to Robert."
