Also, methadone leaves the pain receptors, long before the half life is over. So pain relief may shorten, but the drug is still in your system afffecting other things. Doctors tend to increase doses, because of this, and that is when people get into trouble with this drug. Increased levels in the body can bring on a QT event or cause respiratory depression.
