Opiate Dependence
"I started taking pain meds after having many, many operations. I was on pain meds for years, from 1996-2005. I was up to 140mg&#039;s of methadone and (5) 30 mg roxicodone for breakthrough pain a day. I was tired of taking this stuff. I got down to 5 mg&#039;s of methadone a day and quit. I was miserable! I went through serious withdrawals!

I called a doc in town told him my story and he put me on subutex. That was the beginning of 2005 and I am still on it today and I never touched another pain pill since. It woks for both cravings and for pain help too. Although it is not as good as the others for pain relief it works well enough and I&#039;m happy for it."
