Methadone was a big government boo boo. Heroin addicts can be detoxed in as little as 5 days, but if they go on Methadone, they might have to take it for their whole lives.
You should talk to your doctor or therapist about gradually reducing the amount you take. Don’t try to quit Cold Turkey, you’ll be in bad trouble.
If you’re not taking this through a doctor or clinic, then try to take just a little bit less each day – I mean just knock a chip off the pill, or take a drop out of the cup (it comes in liquid and solid forms).

If the pain is still there then don’t stop. If it’s not you need to ween yourself down to a safe dose, then go cold turkey. Yes you will have with-drawls a little throwing up but mostly just being really hot then really cold. It shouldn’t last more than 3 days and if it does go to the ER.
But I do have to put in, just so I don’t get in trouble or anything – ask a doctor or anonymously call a methadone clinic and ask.
