I took me 12 days to feel 100% although sleep does NOT return even though you feel just fine. Expect about 2 weeks and insomnia after. Hold tight and prepare for a rough 3 days ahead of you. If you can, please go to a dr or the ER (they will help you) and get Clondine

HI...... sorry to here your feeling so bad it su cks coming off methadone....it sounds like yuor dose is not holding you over right now so you probably are feeling most of what you will feel when you quit expect the usual sweats chills rls no sleep anxiety all can be a part of it
dont read any thing into it ....every detox is different  methadone usually takes a 7 day week to run its corse with some symptoms lasting into 2 weeks ....I always say its not so much the withdrawal but the post withdrawal that sets methadone apart  from the other narcotics
it can take a wile to feel better coming off this stuff.....depending on how long your habit was and how high a dose you where at will effect the post withdrawal for some its over in a few weeks for me it took 90 days you will probably wind up somewhere in between the 2 bigest complaints I  get are lack of sleep and the energy crash im kinda short for time right now I would like to talk to you more about some things you can do to help with this I will check back later or you can message me good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

have you tried hot baths with epsom salts in, i know that can help a bit, make sure you drink plenty of fluids, others will help soon also, hang on in there. best wishes.
