^Yeah, if you have DHC at your disposal, why not use it to your advantage!?
It will certainly help make the transition between the two easier, or even to just taper off the methadone with. Either way, it has potential to help with transitioning off methadone substantially.
With DHC, you will want to spread out your dose throughout the day because the drug wears off much faster than methadone does. DHC isn't really available here in the USA, but I was addicted to hydrocodone/ oxycodone, and I know that withdrawal comes within the same day if you only take one dose. I can't comment on the relative dose between the two drugs since I've never tried DHC, but you should be able to figure out very quickly from your first dose if you need a little more or not.
Good luck, and let us know what you decide and how it goes!
