I can totally relate!  i'm beginning week 6 off of methadone, and i still have really strong cravings!  i'm feeling okay physically, though.  exercise really helps.

I know how you feel. I to have been out of detox for  seven weeks and still feel very tired all the time and dont sleep much at all. I'am still shaking from time to time inside and it drives me crazy. My head is always feeling like it is in the clouds somewhere. Keep up the good work and dont give in to those evil drugs again. MAY GOD WATCH OVER YOU AND BLESS YOU IN JESUS NAME A-MEN!
