DO NOT TAKE THE TWO TOGETHER BEFORE YOU TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! Methadone is a very strong pain reliever and could be fatal if taken with out a doctors supervision.
I currently take 150mg of oxycodone, 160mg of Oxycontin and 30mg of methadone. so yes you can take both. but something to remember you need to take them at the same time or so I have been told, If you do not I have been told one will block the other. Also the methadone attaches it self to a different pain receptor then the Oxycontin or oxycodone so it amplifies the effects ten fold! It in no way blocks anything If taking correctly methadone is used all the time for chronic pain patients like me. it lasts longer then the other medications and offers a different type of pain relief. So when your taking methadone and oxycodone together you're attaching to both sides of the pain receptor. Which gives me almost 100% pain relief.

If you are on heroin for three months how much methadone do you need to not go through withdrawal?
Methadone will not cure your heroin addiction. It will only keep you from going through withdrawal if you continue taking it. Once you stop taking the methadone, you will start going into withdrawal. Methadone, as well as Suboxone, are opiate antagonists. They feed your physical dependence on opiates, and they block an opiate high, so even if you relapse and start using heroin again, you won't get high on it. Heroin, Suboxone, methadone, opium, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, codeine, etc...these are all opiate drugs (made from the opium poppy). Methadone (as well as Suboxone) is just an opiate that won't get you high. It helps you quit getting high, but it does not cure or get rid of your physical dependence on opiates. When you are ready to stop taking Suboxone, you wean yourself off of it very slowly, usually over a period of several months. I would assume the same is true of methadone, but I have never taken methadone, so I don't know too much about it.
Can your work stop you working cause you are on methadone I drive 10 ton forklifts?
No. Methadone is a very mild opiate in terms of its "high", that is why it is chosen by drug clinics to detox from opiates. As long as you are on a dose of methadone that is appropriate, you will not have to stop work or feel any major effects from methadone.
