Stick with it: First and foremost congratulations. Addiction is a terrible thing and very hard to overcome, so stick with it. You are doing a great job. These type of side effects are common and can be annoying and painful. They will eventually decrease and fade away. You were on a large dose of methadone to simply just quit that, so if severe and intolerable side effects discuss a game plan to wean off slower
