Methadone withdrawal

[nbkx38z815gz]

I've been on opiates for 9 years. I took OxyContin and percocets. I was taking 30-35 pills a day. Obviously abusing them. I got tired of being sick all the time so I quit and to help I started methadone. I was up to 110 mgs for a year and a half. I dropped my dose to 75 mgs in 6 months. I got tired of being on opiates and decided 2weeks ago to quit. I got my take home and dosed myself down from 75 mgs to 5 in 2 weeks. I thought it would be easier on the withdrawal effects. I took my last dose Sunday of 5 mgs and I am feeling like ****. How long am I going to feel like this. I can't sleep and when I do I wake up every hour going to the bathroom, you know what I mean. Every part of my body hurts so bad. I'm tempted to go back on the methadone. What should I do and how long is this going to last? Help

Wow you tapered fast. Congratulations on two weeks clean. Your giving me inspiration as I am on day 1.  Everyone is different I myself jumped at 2.5 and took many weeks at that level.  I have read many successful cold turkey stories on addiction substance abuse which is on this website just a different community.
