methadone w/d

I am in my 7th day of getting off methadone. The Doc gave it to me for w/d from 3.5 years of hydrocodone use. I still feel like ****. I took the methadone for 7days at 15-20 mgs a day. I wish I had just suffered through the w/d from the Hydro. Can anyone give some kind of an idea how much longer I am going to be feeling like this. Horrilbe fitique,and just lousy feeling.I am still working and it a pain to be here. Thanks for any info.

i think methadone wd's last around a week to 2 weeks, so at very very worst you have a 5-7 days left, stay strong, it would be a shame to relapse now. if ya need support please let me know i will be off and on all day.

peace stay strong
