Does Smoking Heroin While On Methadone Cause Any Adverse Side Effects?

Hello doctor, I need help, I m on 46ml of methadone daily , I was detoxing but had to stop due to the effects of pain from 125 ml from beginning. I couldn t ask my drug worker to put me back up, instead I started smoking heroin again. I m 42 years old & been on both since I was 17. I did stop taking heroin again 2 weeks ago because I had diazepam but when they ran out I started suffering again so I started smoking heroin straight away. I m from U.K. I DON T want to touch heroin again which is in front of me now but I feel terrible.Plz help me my methadone doesn t seem to last me 4 hours..Thankyou for your help Paula Sadler
