Opiate Dependence
"I have been on oxycontin and oxycodone for years. Up to 400 mg a day - and that was taken as prescribed. I&#039;m not a drug addict but unfortunately medicines of this nature cause physical dependence and it doesn&#039;t matter if you use them as prescribed or not, after prolonged use, the withdrawal is horrific, to say the least. You don&#039;t need to be an addict to use Suboxone. Suboxone allows you to detox in a nice, comfortable and more importantly, a humane way. If you have pain, the pain will not go away. It&#039;s not perfect but it will take care of most of the detox symptoms in a way that you will be able to function. You don&#039;t have to go &quot;cold turkey&quot; and it&#039;s even better than &quot;tapering off&quot; what you&#039;re used to taking. Try Suboxone, it works."
