Opiate Withdrawal
"Was really addicted to Norco and MS Contin for a lower back issue.  L3, 4, 5, and S1 Spinal Stenosis and 5 injections later, my back no longer hurt bad enough to be on fairly heavy narcotic pain medication.  I tried to cold turkey the 60mg Norco and MS Contin diet and made it a whopping 2 1/2 days before I had to go to doctor.  He then put me on 16mgs of Suboxone, which he touted as being &quot;MUCH EASIER&quot; to withdraw off.  Uhhh, YEAH RIGHT! Well, 2 yrs later I&#039;m finally finished with Suboxone.  I wish I could meet whoever the chemist was that created Clonidine.  WHAT A LIFESAVER! I will say that Clonidine took away about 85% percent of my withdrawal symptoms and made it fairly easy to come off Suboxone.  THANK THE LORD FOR CLONIDINE!"
