withdrawal symptomns

Question

i went cold turkey with my methadone 80mg's per day to 00mg's. i believe all the withdrawal symptoms have past but now i am falling for no apparent reason stopped taking on the 18th of Nov. and now it has been 15 days without any at all just today i fall over sideways with no warnings at ll, i just fell. Is this also a withdrawal symptom or could it be something else?

I don't know if you have read this excellent, full of help, post on the health pages, but an EXPERT on methadone shares experience, strength and hope there.  Here's the link:

Our inner ear and balance settings are healing in our brains, too.  I actually find myself losing my balance MORE now than when ingesting ungodly amounts of hydros.  I've done some reading about it; can't remember all I've read (ha) cause my brain is in a healing crisis too.  But I really think that article will encourage you and help you specific to methadone.
Blessings to you~
