Yeah, that's where I've been going for 2 1/2 mos. now. They have 3 dr.s there and I've seen them all. Its like, they tell you its painless, bfs! You come off of the sub w/ tramadol, then all better...more bs! I'm not craving, have no desire to use. Pain pills will never ever be a part of my life again! I'm not naive, I know I'm an addict, but I've done a lot of drugs as a youth and had no problem giving them up, except this one, the opiate monster. It grabs you and takes hold and doesn't like to let go. I've never experienced this w/ anything before. I swear I'd lose a finger or two just to feel normal again! Got 8 more, ya know!
