Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As far as my clinical experience is concerned, the narrated symptoms are due to exacerbated effects of testosterone as your body was already addict to methadone and drug metabolic capacity of your body was compromised due to same.
* You need supportive treatment with an expert physician to combat the same with plenty of liquids to maintain the hydration.

Do give me further chance to assist in future.

Hope I have answered your query.
