Hello, Jojo0919! How are you?

No, most likely not. Methadone is actually commonly used to treat drug addiction, because it helps prevent the withdrawals from other opiates.

The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

What dosage has been prescribed?
