opiate dependence
"I was a Roxy (heroin) abuser for 2 yrs.  Made several attempts to quit cold turkey with NO luck and HELLACIOUS withdrawals. Desperate I did some research, made an appointment with local doctor and was inducted today at 15mg.  Some helpful/honest things I can share are...GOOD:  I feel amazing, shocked that it really works, zero cravings, but mostly happy I'm no longer a slave to Roxy's!  BAD: Not sure if my doctor shares same plan I have for wanting to ween off in 6-8 wks. No insurance and my doctor charges $500/month fee, plus taking (2) 8mg pills/day @ $16=$980/mo. Wish there was cheaper way but obviously compared to what I was spending I am saving money and most importantly MY LIFE."
