where do you get relief after methadone?

I take Methadone for a chronic pain issue due to an auto-immune disease.
I have now had some oral surgery that has gone horribly wrong and need some pain relief in a MAJOR way.  
The Methadone seems to block any effect of some of the pills Dr.'s have prescribed. Norco 10-/325 is what I have been given after them first trying Vicodin. It says take 1 every 6 hrs but I need 2 every 3 hrs.
What can I take with Methadone that will work well?

methadone is an opiate blocker. That is why you do not feel the meds. I find it strange that a doctor would give an rx for methadone and opiate pain meds. Maybe a quack because I deff now for sure that methadone is a opiate blocker, which is why it is a good form of recovery for some people.
