Quick Methadone Withdrawal Question

Got a quick question about methadone withdrawal. I've been taking on average 20mg's a day over a 12 day stretch. I had probably 2-3 days when I took no methadone, several days that I took closer to 30mg, and on the last two days I only took 15mg. Last dose was 78 hours ago. Currently don't really have any withdrawal symptoms. I know with long half-life that if any tough withdrawals occur they are still to come. Should I expect any type of withdrawal after this type of use? Thanks.
 
12 days is not a long time to be taking methadone, and you were taking a pretty low dose at that. If you don't feel any symptoms yet and it has been 78 hours, I wouldn't get too excited. You should be fine. You may have some insomnia/anxiety, maybe some minor aches/pains but nothing more than that, if that even occurs. 12 days in my opinion is not long enough to develop a physical dependence to methadone.
