Answers:
Methadone is an opiate, and part of the side effects of opiates is a certain amount of nausea. The presence of foods, especially bland ones can mute this somewhat.

In short, it's just a side effect of the methadone. He can talk to his doctor about it, but it's not the sort of thing that's likely to go away until he gets off the methadone, which people never seem to want to do.Health Question & Answer

I'm not an expert on this but amongst other explanation you might like to know that many addicts will sell some or all of their prescription and buy a small amount of drugs with the proceeds.

Could he be in withdrawal by the end of the day maybe.? It is probably not the case but you could ask him (although if this is the case you are unlikely to get an honest answer).

Maybe he is simply taking too much of the prescription.

Why don't you/he just ask the doctor!Health Question & Answer
