I was on methadone 5mg and my doctor put me on 10mg. I wanted to know if I can take two of the 5mg until they are gone. And than take the 10 mg.

Yes, that is usually fine, unless your doctor has said otherwise. I've done it with various medications over the years.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

How are you doing, now?
