I suppose how one could come to this conclusion based on common usage (substitution for heroin) This is definitely not the case. Methadone increases your opiate tolerance possibly more than other common opiates, codeine, oxycodone, etc. This is because methadone is an opiate itself and it shows a very high binding affinity to your opiate receptors, meaning that the methadone attaches more strongly to your "brain" and will, in turn, raise the production of QFQ considerably.

So no, Methadone will definitely NOT lower your tolerance to opiate meds or any other opiate for that matter since it is an opiate in itself.

What pain medication will break through methadone 190mgs?

Well, no opiate-based pain medication will. Because methadone is an opiate, and because 190mg's is so much, there is no way any other opiate will be able to get through to the opioid receptors with that much methadone. You will have to take something for pain that is not opiate-based.

I'm not really sure what you mean here, but if you are asking if methadone will show up as methamphetamine then the answer is NO. Why would an opiate show up as amphetamine(speed)?
