I have to think you are onto something.  I was on methadone for over 1.5 years and my uring flow got so bad, I found myself having to change underwear frequently because of leaks and not completely emptying my bladder.  Just the other day, i noticed that it seemed to be going away and I recognized that I was no longer having to do this.  It has been 27 or so days since I jumped and that is one symptom that i can see a quick difference in since I quit methadone....that and my wallet seems to be swelling a little bit more(smile).
