Methadone itself does not typically cause body sores. However, individuals who misuse methadone or inject it intravenously are at risk for skin infections, abscesses, and other complications that can lead to sores on the body. It is important to use methadone as prescribed and seek medical attention if you have concerns about skin issues.

What does methadone do to your body?

Methadone is a synthetic opioid. Its primary use is in drug addiction rehab, for detox and maintenance. It is also used to treat pain, most often chronic pain. Methadone affects the body in ways similar to morphine. It attaches to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal column and peripheral tissues and organs to attenuate pain, and provide relief of anxiety, and also has sedative properties. For some it can cause nausea and/or vomiting, sweating, drowsiness - all the same side effects of morphine. Methadone is reported to have certain effects on the heart, primarily to do with heart rate, arrythmia, or prolonging the QT interval. These effects are more common when too high a dose is prescribed or when moving to a significantly higher dose. For those taking 80mg daily or less, this is rarely a concern. I found the worst effects were excessive sweating and difficulty staying awake while reading or watching tv, doing anything not very stimulating. Finally, it can be very hard to stop methadone. It gets stored in the body's tissues, and the time it takes to detox from methadone can be very prolonged, and for some has been worse than heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are less severe than heroin, but the duration is prolonged. Clinical detox is indicated.
