Can you take g gymnema sylvestre and methadone together?

Check with your pharmacist. 

Please ask a pharmacist about any possible drug interactions and/or contraindications, including over-the-counter (otc) medicines, and/or herbal supplements, such as gymnema sylvestre, with the methadone.  (The cvs pharmacy tends to be open 24/7 depending on its location.)

A word to the wise that methadone is apparently more like a substitute for heroin and/or other opioid drugs.  It has purportedly been prescribed for women who are pregnant with an opioid addiction, however, methadone is theoretically *not* necessarily for long-term use.

This website should have some counseling agencies and/or treatment programs for those with addiction (and/or mental health) issues:

With regard to those with a substance use disorder and who are seeking treatment (even outpatient rehab), the two credentials in a substance abuse counselor to consider are supposed to include a Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) or a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CADC).  However, the person who would like to "get into recovery" (by trying to stay sober and sustain sobriety) needs to want to get well for himself or herself, with the tools learned in therapy.

For those with both an addiction & a mental illness, there may be a local treatment program for people with a "dual diagnosis," which may be referred to as MICA (mental illness chemical addiction).  Some MICA programs may be available on an outpatient basis too.  On that note, certain detox (detoxification) programs, such as for those addicted to opioids and/or alcohol, *might* be done on an outpatient basis.  The intake coordinator (for new patients) will usually inquire about any medical conditions, which may also include high blood pressure (hypertension) and/or diabetes, too.

Please also consider attending some free local 12-step meetings, such as by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), especially as an adjunct to addictions counseling.  The only requirement is having a desire to get sober.  (One may attend an "open" AA meeting if there is no drinking problem.)  Most 12-step groups may can be available online these days because of Covid-19 restrictions though.
