Hey man, I am at the point where I have been trying to get off methadone for alittle over two month. I have been deeling with alot of sweeting, upset stomach, lite tremmers, and just ache's and not to much sleep. I will tell you this that if it is done right, ( so I have heard ) most side effects that I listed will be very light if at all. I tried to get off real quick and I had to go back up on my dose and start over due to the withdrawl. It seems that you are doing very well by coming down to where you are at now, I hope this helped a little, im still getting off myself, I wish you the very best, and I hope there is know problem getting off methadone.  Stay Strong and God Bless.     lan002

Also after your last dose it should be out your system in 10 to 14 days.
