HI......a lot depends on how long you where on it and at how high a dose .If it was over a yr and 100mg or more it takes a wile for the energy crash to leave I had a 6 1/2 yr run on the stuff and it not like you dont get better gradually but the first 30 days are the hardest the next 30 your a little better and you start to sleep again . It was around 90 days that I finely started to get better....I have helped others do this and this is fairly typical for most I do know of a young girl that got well in 60 days and she C/T off 120 mg it was ruff going at first but she got well faster then anyone else I know....try not to let the timeline discourage you...you will gradually
get better it just painful slow try your best to keep a positive attitude it makes the difference between being uncomfortable and suffering...your going to make it just let God and time heal you good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

hey! so hear you are doing good, I just wanted to say that if you ever have an urge to get back on anything, go to the subs doc first, you will feel much more normal than being on methadone. I wish you a Speedy recovery!
