Methadone is to replace heroin, an opiate. Crystal meth is speed, an amphetamine. Mixing these two drugs can have devastating effects on your body and the way your brain works (both body and brain will cease to work if you keep doing this)

Meth is literally poison and methadone is essentially meth that is released in monitored amounts so as to help you slowly get off of meth. The reason you didn't need as much Methadone is because they were pretty much the same so it reduces the amount necessary to keep you ok.
