Opiate Dependence
"I had been addicted to pain medication Oxycodones, Percocets, Vicodins, you name the pill, I&#039;ve done it. I was severely addicted for about 2 years. I stole my mother&#039;s pain medicines that she needs, forged scripts, sold jewelry, lied, and went without food just to afford my pills and when I didn&#039;t have any pills? I got sicker than anyone who has been through it can imagine. I went into a detox after Mothers Day and was started on Suboxone. I take 16mg a day. I guess my dose is higher than most people due to the amount of pills I used to take (anywhere from 20-25 30mg Oxycodoness a day). On Suboxone I&#039;m a better mother and person. I&#039;m finally free of my addiction and now I&#039;m just dependent on a medication that saved my life. Not a bad trade for a real life."
