In your opinion what to expect next?

I have been taking 5mg doses of Codone every 2 hours for the past 4 years, I have stopped several times in that span. This last time was about 1 1/2 month of straight use. On Saturday at 5PM I took my last codone. On Sunday I took 5mg of methadone in the morning(They do nothing for me but was thinking it might help to ween) I felt aweful that day. On Monday I took 2.5 in the morning and felt aweful. Tuesday was better I took 1/2 of a tramdol and on Wed I felt even better took the other half and finally got good sleep. On Thur took nothing felt a little Ugh in the mroning but then almsot normal with lack of energy, motivation and still minor stomach issues, Sleeping on the other hand was hard. I couldnt fall asleep until 317 AM but did not wake up until 840ish. Right now I feel good with some lack of energy and feeling a little dazed still. What do you guys think I have left to expect besides the mental aspect of it?
Thanks

I'm not an expert but on day four I'm still experiencing that 'dazed" feel you describe.  I actually ate a little today but my stomach hurt after dinner.  I went to my family physician and confessed up to my dependance and he gave me some Ambien to sleep, some Xanax to relieve the RLS and some phinigen for my nausea.  Taking all these together really helped me sleep.  Right now I'm feeling better and I understand that the dazed feeling will go slowly but surely.  For some reason I think, this time next week things will be so much better really helps me.....like I said, I'm not an expert but you're on your way and things will eventually get better to the point of this being a bad dream.  Good luck.
