Methadone Withdrawal Syymptoms

I am looking for information about what types of symptoms are there associated with methadone withdrawals. I read some of the stories about addictions to the medications. It seemed that the majority of the stories were about people who used it to get high in some way. I was put on methadone for over 5 years to help combat the severe pain that I am in, a result of an illness. I had stones in my pancreas, my labor pains didn't compare to the pain that a pancreas can cause. I also use morphine products to help combat the pain. I recently went o a new pain management doctor, to find out more about a new pain program that I read about. It's called "Tame the Pain". I allowed him to try to deaden a couple of nerves, that didn't work, and now I have another chronic pain from the nerve coming back alive. The doctor then decided to take me off of my methadone, and my MS Contin. To be replaced by Oxycontin, and some percocette. He didn't give me anytime to withdraw off of the Methadone. I am experiencing some symptoms, and I am having trouble deciding if it is new pain, or withdrawal? So, I was looking for all of the different symptoms. My bones in my legs are killing me!!!
