methadone

[blackdb1]

Swims been having problems with staying clean off of opiates. Swim has detoxed more than a handful of times. Two days ago as of an hour ago was his last dose of oxycodone 40mg's in a day. He made it from that point until 40 hrs after the last dose he had eaten some mushrooms and he wasn't having a bad time on them he just was VERY edgy. So swim took 12.5 mgs of methadone. My question is, is that 40 hrs into it I had no withdrawals except anxiety. Usually swim has hot/cold flashes, stomach cramping, insomnia, etc. This time swim has been on a 3 week binge after completely detoxing about 3 weeks before that. Do you swimmers think the methadone will make him have any worse w/d symptoms or better? Swim is intent on staying clean and plans to get clean off this stuff. Also if swim were to go into withdrawal there are currently no opiates available. So swim has to stick this one out. All reply's greatly appreciated!
