    There is only one that I am aware of but it doesn’t preculde diuretic ‘water pill’ use if you have high blood pressure. Methadone (Dolophine) may interact with thiazide type diuretics causing orthostasis (feeling of lightheadedness when standing).

    BTW, it has nothing to do with eliminating the drug faster.
