opiate dependence
"I was on about one 60mg a day of Oxycodone for about 2 years.  Tried going cold turkey about 1 month ago and it was horrible. Had to get back on at least one 40mg of Oxycodone per day. I was given 5 8mg Suboxone pills and after about 12 hours after the last Oxycodone dosage, I started withdrawing so I took the first Suboxone pill entirely.  Amazing how the withdrawal went away after a few minutes.  Since then I've taken half a pill a day.  I'm on the third day so I have 2 and a half Suboxone pills, but I doubt I will take them all.  I will stop taking them now and only take more if, and only if, I get any withdrawal symptoms.  This is amazing, life-saving stuff."
