it seems like you are a pain pt. and not an addict on a clinic right? I won't say you will get over withdrawal in a week if you have been on it for 5 years, but it is doable. I was on it for longer than that once and got through it and have been dope free for years. Stay determined and trust in God. all the best

hi welcome to the forum....well your going to feel like shi# for a week or so the physical
part last about 7 days with methadone ...at least it did when I detoxed...its the mind screw thats hard to deal with it can take a wile to get past that so plan on being down with withdrawal symptoms similar to what you been feeling tapering it shouldn't
be much worst then the tapering ...it wasn't for me but the tapering was prity ruff so its no walk in the park....hot baths help with the aches and pains as do heating pads
you can try some motrin it will take the edge off of the aches and pains also
the biggy is the no sleep part...most people cant sleep for a wile so ketch a nap when you can sleeping all night will take a wile ...you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile ..your system will return back to normal in time ive got 130 days in now and im at 80% still got a ways to go but things deffently get better with time
just hang in there your almost thew it and when its said and done...it is so so worth it....good luck and God bless  ...Gnarly
