Scared to Detox off Methadone Group

Hi I am a 22 year old female who has been on methadone for about a year. I was up to 80mgs per day and now am at 45. I have been going down 5mgs every three days, and have been fine up until now. Obviously I need to slow down but finacially I have to get off as soon as possible. Other than generally feeling bad, I am having cold sweats at night which is causing me to lose sleep. To me that is the worse part about withdrawal. I have had stomach problems for about three years so I am not phased by any of that, and have fibromaylasia, so the pain is a constant thing anyway. I am just looking for any advice about continueing detoxing, and for support of others who understand what it is like to be in this situation.
