Methadone FREE 108 days success story--any time lines?

[edno75]

I am 108 days off a methadone. My doses averaged 30 to 50 mgs for 6 years. I quit cold turkey 108 days ago and I really cannot believe I did it.  It was a true horror story during detox- itching, RLS, depression, anxiety, you name it, don't want to scare anyone, but that is what it was for me.  I got through it so you can to, I am by no means a special case.  Any other success stories?  I am doing much better now but paws is still lingering--not full force paws, rather, a scaled down version but still not very pleasant.  The low grade depression *****, but the energy has finally returned to about 85 percent capacity which is good.  Each day is a bit better.  Anybody with actual stories about when you get back to enjoying life again?  UGH!!  Any help would be great.
