Withdrawal symptoms: Have you been taking 40mg/day of methadone for 15 years? Was this for chronic pain or a drug treatment program? If you have been tapering dose for 45 days, and 0 mg for 13 days that means you came off drug in about a month. Are you taking any other pain medications now? Talk with your prescriber, withdrawal is tricky and individuals vary. See a pain management psychologist for help. Good luck!
