Methadone 4 years

I had a serious oxy cotton addiction. I went on methadone. I have been on it for four years. I have been off for two days. I'm fine durring the day besides alittle tiredness but at night. My RLS acts up. But it's not just my legs. It's my whole body. I don't want any narcotics for this. My doctor perscibed me mirapex. It worked awesome for awhile. But these two nights, it hasn't been working. Is there anything I can do? I work out alot and that used to help. I eat healthy. But these last two nights have been horrid.

Well I was up to 90mgs. but been going down all the way to 1mg. Thursday was my last dose. The nurses said my urine samples had like nothin in them. So the worst is over hopefully cause I've been withdrawing mildly for a few months coming off slowly off methadone. Luckily no cold sweats lol. I have a feeling that because I was on it so long my body is confused!
