HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn your case, change in blood pressure may be due to withdrawal or underline anxiety symptoms. It has no relationship with methodone. QT prolonation could be possible with methadone, but there are lot of drug that cause it. If you are feeling any chest pain or difficult in breathing, then you can think to decrease methadone.Thanks
