I know all about the Restless Legs = Coming off Methadone Myself.
The Hylands Resltess Legs Pills from Walgreens kinda work.
I was able to recieve Valium/Diazepam from my Dr - which was a Miracle.
As far as the Depressed feeling, I already had efexor (anti-depressant) and that helped a little.
Mostly, it was just a matter of time. for the first couple weeks to 1 month coming of Methadone - I was Very tired and just wanted to sleep. You"ll eventually get over it though. Vitamins are good though, maybe some b12 would help best for energy.

HI....a lot depends on the individual and a lot has to do with how heavy and hard your habit was both b/4 and on the methadone mine was 10yrs on the pills and 6 1/2 on the methadone so I had a long hard habit to break....for me it was a good 90 days till I started to feel better dont get totally discouraged here you do get better as you go but its slowly
I have helped  others and if you been on it a yr or longer expect this to take some time
30 days will feel better then you do now same with 60 days but at 90 days the energy crash finely lifted ...start on the whey protein shakes....there full of vitamins amino acids as well as protein all of witch the brain needs to heal..they will help I only wish I found these sooner.I still drink 2 a day you can pick up a 2lb can at walmart for 15bucks the chocolate flavor is good...just know you will get better I know 90 days seams like an eternity but in the sceam of life it only a short season hang in there keep posting for support if you like message me any time
if you want to chat in on 10 to midnight mountain time 6 days a week good luck and God bless......Gnarly
