I believe meth use is causing early WD's from daily Methadone Dose...Plausible?

Basically the last two days I've been getting early stages of opiate Wd's only HOURS of taking my daily dose of methadone. I have been at 60mg for a year and never had any issues (even while using meth pretty regularly)

However these last couple of days have me watching the clock until the clinic opens at 0515 with runny nose, slight stomach problems, hot/cold flashes and crawling skin.

I haven't used meth now for a full 24 hours because it made the Wd's worse of course. So having not used for a day I assumed my regular 60mg dose would make everything well and LAST the full day since I hadn't used/didn't plan on using any meth for now....Well, it didn't and here I sit with a runny nose, with some sweats and a general "poor me" attitude...

I know the meth out there is questionable nowadays but would it linger this long and still be able to "burn off" my daily dose? I still haven't smoked it today and for the first time in a while the thought of using it is repulsive...

What's the deal here? The meth is over-powering the methadone dose so I stop for 24 hours + but it's STILL blocking or "burning off" my regular dose STILL??
 
i wouldnt evaluate it really until i had at least 3/4 days out of the heavy stimulants. meth will definitely affect opioid metabolism, as it changes your whole body metabolism. if i still couldnt feel my done after 3/4 days without i would start looking for another culprit.
