So I did the three days of methadone two 10 mgs so 20 mgs in the morning and two 10 mg pills at night. I was ok..  it then I left my husband for good, was still messing wit the pills but nothing like before but then I was in a car accident and fell down a flight of wooden stairs and within 6 months of each other, I told the dr I had issues with lortabs so the idiot go es me Percocet 7.5 two pills , every 6 hours and 10gs of methadone e every 6 hours.

How are you feeling?  Today is my 14th day with no opiates, I still have some residual pain, and my motivation is nil, I have heard it takes about a month to start to feel "normal" again...hoping and waiting...Good Luck to you...and remember, it will get better...slowly, but surely!

Are you still with us?? Sorry that it took awhile to get a response.

How are you feeling? Are you still detoxing and staying off the pills??
