Swollen feet/ankles can be a side effect of methadone but it is very unusual. Side effects most often occur in the early stages of treatment and improve after you've been taking it a while. If you didn't experience any swelling the second time you took the methadone that is a good sign that it is not likely serious or an allergic reaction, but please notify your doctor about the swelling. Did you notice any other side effects?

Good point, Swollen feet/ankles are a common side effect, however if your hands become swollwn as well you need to seek emergency treatment. Observe yourself for any other side effects and notify Doctor like swimmingdancer said.
