opiate withdrawal
"First off I am 21 years old and have been taking pain pills since I was 14.  I started off with lortabs and percs, then oc's and rc's to fentanyl patches and suckers. I had been taking fentanyl pain patches for 4 years after totaling 3 vehicles beyond recognition because I was messed up. After trying suboxone for a year and decreasing my dose and getting off that and staying clean for 6 months I relapsed again.  I have now found methadone to be the only thing that keeps me from taking pain pills and to be a great asset and assistance to me in my life.  It has helped me to get my life back and to get back into school and finish my degree.  I don't recomend methadone to recreational users or to people who haven't already tried everything else"
