At one time when I was on the methadone maintainence program(taking methadone daily), I also smoked methamphetamine. I noticed that while smoking meth, I didn't need as much methadone or need to take it as often. I have since detoxed off methadone and have no intentions on doing meth or any other drug, however, I have always been very curious as to why my body didn't need as much methadone while I used methamphetamine. So I would like to know why I didn't need as much methadone when i used methamphetamine..

What are you talking about. You take any drug while going through withdrawal and you'll be craving less and have parts of it negated. That's common sense HURR DURR HOW COME WHEN IM GOING THROUGH OPIATE WITHDRAWAL AND I TAKE COCAINE I DON'T FEEL AS TIRED??
