i have just started on methadone and being brought off of hydrocodone.

i'm on 5mg pills of methadone. 1 at am, 2 at lunch, 1 at bedtime. i'm given a 10/500 of hydro/apap per day for breakthrough.

my question is, is it safe to take the methadone and hydrocodone together? is there a limit to how much i can take of the two in a 24 hour period?

i am thinking i will not be able to stay on the methadone anyway, based on how i've felt since i started, but i can't find info on the two together and any limits or what have you.

thanks.
