It depends on the formulation. What are the markings on it?

Methadone comes in sublingual, liquid, and sold formulations that you have to swallow. Can you please post back with more details?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming.
