Why does methadone make me sleepy?

Answer 1

I don't really understand the question. Methadone makes you feel normal and basically gives you extra energy depending on your dose. If you take too much methadone, it will make you tired and make you nod off and fall asleep anywhere, but that's only if you take a lot, if you are not prescribed to methadone I wouldn't recommend taking it at all because it is a very dangerous and potent drug for someone that is not on it and it is definitely not a drug to play or experiment with.

Although, if you are addicted to opiates, I would recommend buying methadone instead, while you try to get into a methadone maintenance program. Buy only a bit, say 5-10mg at first, don't take anymore then 5-10mg your first time or you will get sick. Go up 5-10mg every week and you should be fine until you get prescribed to it. Methadone is a lot better then say Oxycontin or morphine because it's a lot cheaper in the end and lasts 24-36 hours, basically the entire day.

Be very careful though, like I said... it's not a drug to play around with. Once you start taking it, it acts on the opiate receptors in the brain, blocking you from getting high off any other opiate, which isn't such a bad thing. Go to your local methadone clinic or doctor and try to get on the program and just self medicate yourself until you start a prescription for it, just be careful and take my advice above, from someone who was on methadone for five or six years.
