Everyone, at some point or another, has experienced feeling sleepy or exhausted. Patients who are taking methadone at a dosage that has been stabilised will not experience any more drowsiness or sedation than what is typical for that individual. It is possible to have drowsiness during the first phases of therapy; however, this side effect often lessens or goes away when the methadone dosage is increased and maintained.
Patients who are struggling to cope with the mental components of opioid addiction may benefit from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which may be offered in methadone clinics or recommended by them. After the patient has gotten through the initial phase of physical withdrawal symptoms, they may begin to suffer cravings, anxiety, impatience, and tension. The cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) assists patients by preparing them for the problems that they may experience after they have gone through the period of the physical withdrawal, and it also helps patients to avoid relapse and stay on the right track.
Methadone can cause severe or even life-threatening breathing problems. This is especially true if you are taking it for the first 24 to 72 hour. Your doctor will closely monitor your progress during treatment. If you have asthma or slow breathing, tell your doctor. Methadone will likely be stopped by your doctor. Tell your doctor if your condition increases pressure in the brain. If you are older or have a chronic condition that causes breathing problems, your chances of developing them are higher. You should immediately contact your doctor if you have any of these symptoms: slow breathing, shortness of breath, long pauses between breathes or slow breathing.
Methadone can cause habit formation. Methadone should be taken exactly as prescribed. You should not take more methadone, increase the dose or use it in a different manner than your doctor has prescribed. Talk to your doctor about your pain management goals, treatment duration, and other options for managing your pain while you are taking methadone. If you, your family members, or anyone else in your household has consumed large quantities of alcohol, used or had ever used street drugs or overused prescription medication, has suffered from an overdose, have depression, or any other mental illness, tell your doctor. If you are currently or were ever diagnosed with any of these conditions, there is a higher chance that you will abuse methadone. If you suspect you may have an opioid addiction, talk to your doctor immediately and get guidance. You can also call the U.S. Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.
