i have been on a methodone clinic for 4 years im on 70mg of methodone, my doctor also prescribes me 1mg of xanax 4 times a day for the past year. you have to be carful though because xanax as with any benzo increases the effects of methodone.

I'm no doctor so I really couldn't say. I wouldn't see where it would hurt you though as long as you arn't abusing the Xanax. How much are you taking?

Nope, not really. My Dr. at the Methadone clinic told me to stop taking my Xanax that was prescribed to me because it was dangerous to mix the two.
