Methadone toxicity is when the level of methadone in your body exceeds the level that is determined safe for your body type. Methadone has an unusually long half life (meaning is stays in your system longer than most drugs), therefore in the event of an overdose it is recommended that the patient be monitored for atleast 48 hours. The biggest risks of methadone include the depression of respiratory function (slowing down your breathing), apnea (stop breathing for intervals of time), respiratory failure, and hypotension (a bottoming out of your blood pressure). Other side effects include: rash, constipation, appitite supression, drowsiness, urinary disturbances, and decreased sexual preformace drive and ability, to name a few. Naloxone, which is an opiate antagonist, can reverse the effects of methadone overdoses in patients when given in a medical setting.

Could taking extascy cause you to test poitive for methadone?
I do not think it is possible to test positive for methadone after taking ecstasy. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and ecstasy is a stimulant and hallucinogen. Even when testing for regular opiates methadone will not show up since its synthetic, methadone will show up on a urine as methadone only if they are testing specifically for methadone. There is no way ecstasy will show up as methadone on a urine test, ecstasy does not contain methadone.
