Subadone, Chronic Pain Anyone?

Ok. I fell of a latter 2 years ago working in the factories. I was presribed both vicoden and motrin. I have been on vicoden for 2 years. I've never abused them! I Have had several sergeries with tumors that have developed, and had some torn legiments. I still have pain and therefor have been diagnosed with chronic pain. My leg gives out, I cry myself to sleep ect... Anyways I talked to my doctor about concern of longer term use of the vicoden. I have deveoped a tolorance to the drugs and therfor it takes 100 every three weeks. at one point I was at 120 bi weekly.. He says I am not addicted, But have a high tolorance and therefor I am "Physically dependant". Reason being is I was prescribed both oxycotten & Oxycodone and didnt like the way it made me feel.. (Feels kinda like the anxiety attacks i get) So I gave them back. Anyways My doctor has given me the choice to go through a detox with this sabadone (something along those lines). According to what I research it has same chemicles that methadone has. I've seen the bad things methadone has done to close people. What is approach for pain management? I have no side effects taking the vicoden as prescribed as well as learned to manage staying at the 100 every three weeks. Working on trying to make them last a month which my doctor says would be excellent being thats not much giving my condition. Has anyone taken this new Subadone? Would it be better for pain? ect.. Now I've withdrawled once when i Was in nc from not having my vicoden and it was bad. Actually was hospitalized with high blood pressure and seasure like symptoms at the time. When they gave me the vicoden, It went away so I learned that you can seriously withdrawl from meds. Will this happen from subadone as well? any info between the 2 vicoden and subadone would be nice to know. As with any choices I wish I would have knew more about vicoden before i was first administered it, and dont want to make this same mistake with this subadone. I am afraid of acting like people on methadone I know. Thanks! I have 2 kids that rely on me, and suprisingly even when I first started the vicoden I didnt get like some people who take it. Should I expect to be normal on the subadone? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I dont and repeat dont want to get all high and buzzed like some people "experiementing" with these pain meds. I aint got time to do that. I am a 25 year old with lots of knowlege and dont wanna waist it getting messed up on drugs. I have legitimate pain and its hard to do normal day to day activities without any type of pain medication (I've tried long before I started taking anything)
