Safe to say my methadone is watered down?

I haven't taken methadone too many times but I got some the other day. I take hydrocodone daily. Most of the time at least 100mg. Taking this in consideration I was guess my methadone dose would be around 10-20mg. Took it and no help. 40mg in I still feel absolutely nothing and I'm thinking by this point I might have taken too much to just stave off withdrawals and I would be getting high soon but if I did I could use that as a way to figure out my dose. I stopped at 40 mg because I was scared I woke up this morning and took 30mg and I'm guess with the half life and separate dosing I was still at 25mg which would put me at a total of 55mg and I still feel nothing. I'm beginning to think the methadone is either fake or watered down. Maybe not sealed correctly if that has an effect on the quality. Does this type of thing seem to happen a lot or is it pretty clear methadone just doesn't work for me. One time when I was 14 my uncle took methadone and I used I seem him falling asleep a lot and wondered what that felt like. So I took an entire wafer when I was 14. Eyes went black and I fell over and threw up all over the place but was fine minutes later. Didn't feel anything so I'm guessing my body blocked the methadone because of the extremely high dose and I threw it up before it kicked in (like the Napoleon thing). Could that have possible made it where my body won't allow methadone to pass the blood brain barrier? Idk I'm just rambling now but I really am getting tired of feeling like shit and endlessly searching the web for answers.
 
It can take a few days of repeated use of methadone for it to reach it's full effects. Are you feeling anything form it? Is it addressing anything of your WDs? I have only used hydrocodone a few times in the past so I can't really help with equivalent doses.

With the methadone we get over here, if you add anything to it, you will notice it when you pour it into a clear container. The liquid will have lines in it where there water has not mixed with the thicker syrup of the methadone.
