No. Withdrawals feel like you'll die, but in all actuality it is INCREDIBLY unlikely. Methadone is just like any other opiate - like oxycontin or heroin, or dilaudid, or morphine. The difference is its half-life - it simply stays in your system longer. Withdrawals from methadone should be no different than any other opiate....
