When will methadone withdrawls start?

I was on 30 mg for 7 yrs.  For the last 16 mos. I tapered and was on 2 mg for the last 4mos.  My last dose was Thursday, 12/18/14, about 145 hours ago.  I am not having any major withdrawals, just occasional leg cramps, irritation.  Why not, when might they kick in?  I planned this for a year, so I could be off work for 2 weeks.  Has anyone been fortunate enough to not have any major withdrawal?  Or can it take even longer to kick in?  
Thank you,

So you are on 5 days. You may have just dodged the bullet on the physical wds. Good for you!! However the mental wds of no energy etc may cropped up at some point. Don't complain. Just ride it out. Heat job on the taper.

Honestly, i think if you were going to have them, they would have started ny now, but i could be wrong??? Maybe that nice long taper was the trick? I say, count yourself lucky....
