Heartburn is NOT listed as a common side effects for narcotics, though it does happen to some individuals very rarely.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation.

You can detox off Methadone--with Methadone. Just gradually lower your dose over time. I go to a Methadone Clinic and that is how they do it, so thought I would suggest it to you. And some of the side effects you can get from Methadone that I know of are: Males may experience impotence, premature ejaculation or decreased sexual desire when on high dosages, Females may suffer decreased sexual desire and often menstrual periods are interrupted, Upset Stomach, Constipation, Swelling due to depressed pituitary function,Excessive Sweating, Sedation, Overdose, Abrupt Withdrawal, Dizziness/Drowsiness, and Allergic Reactions. It is advisable to eat before ingestion of mehadone. If the stomach becaomes upset, antacids are advised. Tiredness and depression may occur, usually at high medication levels. Alcohol, Valium and other drugs, when combined with methadone, may be fatal. Methadone is a central nervous system depressant, and due to Done having a long acting ability, complications may occur long after Done ingestion.Use Caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. And finally, if you develop difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, tongue, or hives--Seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
