you should really try to get some clonidine to help get you through. I came off forty like you one time and it was two weeks of hell. I lay in bed barely able to move feeling like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. And that's not including the months afterwards, which while better...it just didn't seem like it would end.

I'm not saying you can't do it but without something those first two weeks are hard.

Methadone is evil.

That "dead weight" feeling takes forever to go away. The last time I did it I was four months in and still suffering from it. Are you trying any of the other things recommended around here? I wasn't aware of them back then, so I was just suffering through.
