I'm a heroin addict trying to get sober with the help of methadone. I'm currently on 170 mg and still use a couple of bags of heroin each night because the methadone doesn't hold me for a full 24 hours. I've been feeling sick earlier than usual and using heroin seems to make it worse. I took an additional 20 mg of methadone today, totaling 190 mg, and feel better but still had to use heroin. I'm afraid I might overdose, especially with ongoing minor withdrawal symptoms and constant panic. Can I overdose even though I'm going through minor withdrawal, or am I worrying for nothing?
