When am I going to be 100% back to normal?

  Hello, i've been on methadone for 3 and a half years of about 80 mg on average. At most i was on 110. I tappered down from 110  to 60 very fast in a months time which wasn't bad. Then I went to jail for 3 days cold turkey which was absolute pure hell. I got out, tappered down again right away and hit a brick wall at 20 mg. When I finally got down to nothing, I thaught, great, its almost over, but 2 months later of up and down days I still don't fell even 80% normal. It's been a total of 5 months of withdrawal nonstop. Can it be one more month because i'm sick of feeling these withdrawals although there not so bad as before?

Hi Chris!   Sometimes it seems as though it takes at least 6 months. I've never been on Methadone so my opinions are purely anecdotal.  I've talked with many in Methadone treatment who have tapered off and it takes a while. It seems that the insomnia never goes away,the energy level is way too low,the GI system is a mess,mood is dim...

Are you eating well? Taking vitamins,getting exercise?  What do you do during the day?
