What is Methadone?
Doctors prescribe methadone for treating opioid addiction. This synthetic opioid agonist acts on the opioid receptors in the brain that are activated by opioids like morphine, heroin, and opioid-based pain medication.
However, unlike heroin, morphine, or opioid pain relievers, methadone acts slowly. Additionally, it does not produce euphoria in a person with an opioid disorder.
What Are the Side Effects of Methadone?
Methadone is an effective and cheaper option for the treatment of opioid use disorder. This is why doctors prescribe it – to allow patients to get access to more affordable pain relievers.
However, there is always a danger of addiction when it comes to prescribed opioid medication. Eventually, a long-term methadone user can experience withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Slow, shallow breathing, known as respiratory depression
- Clammy or bluish skin
- Blue-tinted lips and fingertips
- Extreme fatigue to the point of being unable to stay awake
- Stupor
- Convulsions
- Vomiting
- Coma
- Death

- Next, hold the test by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the test membrane.
- Then, holding the test vertically, dip the test in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the test.
- After the drug test has finished, remove the test from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.

The Urine Dip Tests available from 12 Panel Now may prove to be a more practical solution than a blood test or a hair test. The urine tests are a fast and accurate way to perform screening.
Many have become addicted after receiving methadone as medication for pain relief. Sadly, abusing or misusing this drug can lead to fatal consequences.
