Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are certain other medication available to take care of your withdrawal symptoms. As methadone remains in your body for 10-14 days during this time medication like clonidine, antispasmodics, non opioid pain killers can take care of your withdrawal symptoms. For your neuropathic pain several anti epileptics or SNRI can be tried. SNRI will take care of your anxiety, panic attacks as well as pain. Discuss with your practitioner about the same.

Hope I have answered your query.
