Since Methadone has such a long halflife and is absorbed by fatty tissues inside the body, it could take a few days to a week to safely take an opiate and feel its effects. But since you've only been taking Methadone for four days, try waiting until you start to feel the onset of withdrawal. It could also depend on how many mgs a day you were taking. The higher the mg, the longer it will take for Methadone to clear out of your system.

Are Suboxone and Methadone going to show up as the same medication in a 12 panel Non - DOT drug test?
Suboxone will not but the methadone will show as an opiate. I would give the methadone a good four days to get out but keep taking your suboxone so you dont get sick. i have been on probation taking u.a.'s for about a year and have been on suboxone for the same amount of time. I take a sub the morning of my test and it shows clean everytime. just quit the methadone and you will be fine!

Yes methadone will greatly reduce withdrawal symptoms. However methadone is an opiate. So going off of it will also cause withdrawal symptoms. The advantage of methadone is that it is long lasting, lacks the same initial rush of heroin. This makes addictions more manageable. It also reduces the risk of overdose.
Does percoset show up when taking methadoneduring a drug test?
Percocet shows up as an opiate and methadone shows up as methadone. I know this for a fact. A lot of places don't even test for methadone, yet the usage of methadone as a street drug has since increased. So be forwarned. I tried a 70 dollar urine cleaner to eliminate opiates from my system but it did not work. It only takes 3-5 days to eliminate percocet from your system. Methadone is a bit longer.

Is methadone or vicodin stronger?
Methadone, by far. Methadone is one of the strongest and longest acting opiates. Although it does not give the most intense "high" do not let that fool you, because it is powerful. 20mg's of methadone for a person who has never done it can last up to 2 days. Many people think because they have other opiate tolerance that they can take a high dose of methadone, but this is not the case. I have had friend die from methadone intoxication when he took about 60mg's on his first try.
