Every single one of the people that answered your question dont know ****. Methadone has nothing to do with methamphetamines. Methadone is a synthetic opiate. It does not rot your teeth, and it is not just used to get addicts off of drugs. I am prescribed it for my pain. If you take too much it can cause respratory problems, stomach cramping, vomiting, and ultimately death. He is more than likely feeling like he has a very bad hangover, and for the next 2-3 days he will feel sweaty and kind of like he has a cold. That feeling is the medicine coming out of his system. Methadone builds up slowly in your system, that is why it is so easy to take too much of it. Unless you are prescribed a medication or you know a hell of alot about it, you shouldnt take it.

Yes, most methadone clinics will treat people with methadone addiction. Some don't but most do.

methadone is not nice stuff, and has pretty serious side effects when abused. every year a certain number of people die from methadone overdoses. hope ur cousin is ok. good luck.

diarrhea, bronchial asthma caused by the poisen (meth), respiratoy depression, sedation, euphoria, dizziness, nausea, sweating, apnea (stopped breathing), cardiac arrest, respirotory arrest, itching, loss of appitete, not as alert, weakness is a BIGGIE,
These things will gradully wear off and improve; depending of course on how much he took? That I don't know. Good luck.

It rots your teeth, ruins your skin, kills brain cells, then it kills you.
