I have been taking vicodin and perkcocets for about 1 yr now. I was getting really bad close to 20 pills a day. I new i had to stop cause it was killing my pockets. Then i found a friend who was perscibed soboxone. So i began taking them I have been on it for 2 days. They are the 8mgs, and i eat little pices of it, cause taking a whole one would make me sick.. like i took herion. I absolutly love it. It has helped me stop taking them so far. The side effects i get from not taking viks are gone, and i feel like myself again. I plan on taking them for 1 to 2 more days until i feel my erge is gone. I think people ar taking them to long, and thats why there withdrawling from them.! Don't be scared they really helped me. Just don't take them to take them. 1 week would probably be plenty.
