If someone is taking Methadone for addiction and they are on an appropriate dose, they should feel normal and able to function throughout the day. However, if too much Methadone is taken, it can cause euphoria, drowsiness, and cause someone to fall asleep throughout the day.

∙ 13y agoIf you took more than the prescribed dose it could - there are several uses for Methadone - besides being used to keep addicts (in recovery) off of heroin, it also is used to prevent withdrawal symptoms in patients who were addicted to opiates and it is a pain medication - used for people who suffer from chronic pain.
While an addict may not have access to multiple doses at the same time, a pain patient would. If you take extra doses, you may have too much methadone in your body and you may experience life-threatening side effects such as - extreme drowsiness; slow, shallow breathing; fast, slow, pounding, or irregular heartbeat; faintness; severe dizziness; or confusion.
