Very high dose: According to the literature the daily dose of Methadone you are on exposes you to significant risks. Sudden cardiac death, respiratory depression and fatal drug interaction have all been reported. I would strongly consider seeing an Addiction medicine or Pain Specialist to wean you off the Methadone and consider other therapies.

High Dose: The daily dose of Methadone you are on exposes you to significant risks. I would NOT add either of those medications

Why do you ask?: Double check with whoever prescribed the methadone but so far as I know it is not contraindicated. This stuff actually doesn't do much for you and you'd be doing much better to add half an hour a day of cardio. But especially, I am very glad you are hitting the gym while you are in recovery. I know how hard it has been with addiction and you are giving yourself a wonderful gift.
