Hi,

There are two possibilities.
1. either your oxycodone was adulterated with methadone.
2 or oxycodone is giving a false positive result with methadone.

And if you are absolutely true regarding not taking methadone, then you should talk to your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
