Hi Chevyboy,
On day 11 of a methadone detox, i think all of the opiates are the same kinda symptoms just some are to a lesser degree than others. I tapered from 40mg of methadone right down to 2.5 over a 3 week period, and it was hell on earth, it does get easier for me day 3-6 incl were the worst and my leg pain and restlessness have only just subsided in the last day or so, but everyday was a little better than the previous after about day 6, try to eat something like protein or carbs your body is trying to heal so it needs fuel and nutrition, I had to force it down sometimes but always felt better after I had something in my stomach.
Keep posting and reading on SR I can't explain how helpful it has been to me in these early days. Every single time I have reached out for support someone has been there for me, so you really feel like your not alone and people know what your going through.
