Hi KJS,

Welcome to the recovery forums. I am a drug addict but have not had experience with pain meds. I do know that the detox is pretty harsh and it is advised to come off of the drug under a doctors care. Detoxing from opiates have also been known to cause some very serious side effects. I don't know if you have considered a treatment faciliy or a detox center for a few days but it may be a good alternative. I did it after trying myself and i have to say, I wish I did it to begin with.

Until someone comes along with some direct experience with this particular drug, I would recommend looking in this forum, the narcotics Anonymous forums, and doing a search for pain meds or opiates so you can read what others have gone through.

Please take care and let us know how you are.
