at that dose for only 2 weeks it is very possible u may feel not withdrawals atall from the methadone...it takes a while to get addicted to methadone but once u r it is he!! to get off of...get out now while u can..maybe take 5 mg a few days then 1/2 of that and get on off...what was ur doc?  it is possible that u may have some residual wds from that but at 2 weeks i would think that is just about over...also addicts get addicted to new drugs quicker than others..an alcoholic can becomed addicted to pills much quicker than the rest of the posulation and vice versa...it is time to let them go before they become a problem for u as tolerence can build to those as well

i kicked a 200mg a day methadone habit 4 years ago
you are on a low dose, thank GOD!!!!
i would guess that you will have some wd symptoms, you may feel like you have the flu for a couple of weeks
anytime we put something into our body, we will experience some type of detox
this can be methadone, food, anti-depressants
symptoms vary from person to person

i suggest that you get to an na meeting, tonight
and talk to some folks there, one on one help
detoxing of the methadone can be a challange but staying clean, living without drugs will be impossible if you do not start some type of recovery process
