my son had shortness of breathe and I was wondering if taking 2 (25mg each) of benadryl as a sleep aide with his prescribed methadone (70mg) per day could be the cause??

There could very well be an underlying cause as to why your son had or has shortness of breath. However, you must be cautious about giving someone anything containing alcohol or small dosages codeine. Those will have an affect on anyone's breathing while taking a strong narcotic. If there are sleep issues as well, I would consult with your sons doctor immediately as there could be a medication issue or something else going on. Best of luck, Warren

You son needs to consult his doctor to have this checked out and be certain of the cause.

While it may have been due to taking the Benadryl with the Methadone, since they both cause depression of the central nervous system, there is also a chance that it may have been due to an unrelated health issue.

Is there anything else I can help with?
