This site e mailed me & asked me to come back. I was addicted to pain pills (methadone- Oxcodone) doctor prescribed for 10 years. I really don't want to do this but this site said to share my experince with others it might help. I replied to the mail saying that I read on this site or maybe another one where a woman was writing about going cold turkey. She said u might feel like ur dying but ur not. Well after 7 weeks of this day after day I felt like I was dying and I was. U better think twice about doing this without a doctor because it sounded to me like this person who wrote this articale knew what she was talking about. I couldn't take anymore and went to the doctor and found out I have pneumonia and a blood clot in my leg. If I hade of gone on with this for another week the blood clot would have moved. Don't believe everything u read like I did, this can kill u. If u start feeling like ur having leg cramps like I did u need to go to the doctor. The pneumonis set n from laying n bed all the time. This is my experiance u might be different but listen to what ur body is telling u. I think it was better on the pain pills. Hope this helps. W L
