Are you taking the methadone, morphine and oxys all at the same time?  Are you misusing them or taking them for pain?  There are a lot of people here that can help you, though they may need more information (like how much you're taking, etc.)  From what I've read here, methadone is very hard to come off and if possible, should be tapered.  Are you being prescribed all these meds from a doctor?  If so, they should help you come off things slowly.
