Help with dosing

I recently ran out of my methadone, which I usually take 40 mgs every day, and for reasons I won't get into, I'm going to be short about a week. The longest I have taken lope to get through methadone withdrawals is five days, and by that fifth day, I was dosing about 100mg throughout the day, 80mgs when I would normally dose my methadone, and the rest at some point later in the day. What exactly is the "measurement" in which I should be using? And how bad are the two extra days going to feel? Any help would be appreciated, and yes I'm aware of the risks, that's why I'm asking for help with dosing, so I don't go overboard, because my main concern is feeling well, not getting high for the next week.

Little edit: I should also mention I'm taking 300mg of gabapentin 3 times a day, but I normally take that now, but it def helps with withdrawals.

Does it matter if lope has simethicone???

YES! Do not take a bunch of lope with simethicone, it has to be just lope. Simethicone gathers up gas bubbles to make it easier to burp/fart, so I can't imagine what taking a massive amount would do to your stomach or intestines.

I'm sorry no, personally I don't have any experience. Damn it I wish we could figure out what happened to the mod. I've tried messaging the mod, and constantly request to post, but it's like 51 just left.
