I am a 25 year addict and I can tell you all that are trying to kick the pills that after you do stop taking them(which has a very low success rate if you do it by yourself) then you have a mental problem to deal with.You must remember that the reason you started to abuse your pills was for the euphoric effect.These people are right when they say to go to a pain spec or subox or even
methadone.Just remember that methadone is a long term treatment where sub isn't.I have been on methadone for 3 years now and for me it saved my life.I used to take 120
percocets in a day,I was taking
demerol for over 10 years(500mgs every 3 hrs), by the time I got some help I was taking 3000mgs of
morphine/day and believe me after 5 years or so of abusing narcotics you lose thier euphoric effect.I could take 25 percocets and I would hardly feel a thing.What happened to me was after about 5-6 years I just curled upon the couch and didn't move much for the next 15 years (except to get more pills of course).It is a terrible life to lead and I encourage all of you to seek help.......If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them for you........Have a good day.....Dave
