Methadone is a powerful opioid that causes overdose situations in Florida. An overdose would occur if you took this medication in too high a dose, without a valid and legal prescription, or beyond the medical limits that have been set for it.
This situation can quickly turn out to be dangerous and lead to negative effects. This is why it is highly recommended that you seek emergency medical attention if you suspect that you might be overdosing on methadone.
If you suffer a drug overdose after abusing methadone, it is highly likely that you will display some of the following signs and symptoms:
Apart from overdose, methadone can also cause you to develop an addiction. If you have been abusing this drug by taking it in high doses or more often than you are supposed to, you may eventually find yourself struggling with tolerance.
At this stage, you would have to take it in higher doses or more frequently than you used to before you can experience the pleasurable effects that you have come to associate with the medication.
Over time, your tolerance will be replaced by dependence. Once this happens, you could be said to be struggling with an opioid use disorder - or an addiction. When you reach this point in your life, you will have to seek professional addiction treatment services before you can overcome your growing addiction.
If you try and stop abusing methadone without medical assistance from a professional treatment program, there is a high risk that you may experience some adverse withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. These symptoms might cause you to restart your substance abuse - because they often tend to be quite painful and unbearable.
On the other hand, it is important to keep in mind that methadone works by depressing the central nervous system - or the CNS. This means that you may suffer some negative complications if you combine this drug with other depressant drugs, such as benzodiazepines and alcohol.
During this form of drug mixing, you may experience dangerously low respiratory depression and reduced blood pressure. All these effects could potentially lead to fatal outcomes.
Methadone is like other opioids in the sense that it will be difficult for you to stop abusing it. Although this drug is not quite as addictive as these other opioids - particularly drugs like heroin - you might not be able to overcome your abuse of it unless you seek help from a professional addiction treatment center.
Luckily, Florida has many such treatment and rehabilitation facilities that can guide you on the road to health and wellness so that you overcome your methadone abuse, tolerance, addiction, and dependence. The important thing is to ensure that you seek help as soon as possible before your methadone abuse gets out of hand or leads to negative or irreversible effects.
