What happens when you overdose on methadone?

Answer 1

The first thing that happens is you start to get stomach pains, like a virus. This will get extrem after 24 hours. Second, you fell emotionally depressed, like you never experienced before. 3rd, you will start to lose your bowels after about 36 hours. My suggestion to you is to get yourself to a detox, where they taper you down very slowly. I t is just to painful, and dangerous to do it on your own....

Answer 2

Your heart slows down. Your breathing is slow. You fall asleep. Mucus comes from your nose and mouth. Then the breathing stops and then your heart. You dont feel a thing you just go to sleep and never wake up. This is what I have learned from my son who over dosed in Nov. 2007. My mother tried to wake him at 6 am to go to work and he did not wake. She said his breating was slow and ther was mucus comming from his nose. She wipe his nose and put vic under his nose. At 9 am when she went to wake him again it was to late he was dead. I do not understand how she did not know at 6 am he was dieing. There was allot of mucus on the sheet where he was sleeping but, that is another story. It very sad that he is gone. I loved him so much. Its like a kick in the chest every day without him. I hope this answer helps some. Rob's Mom
