" My wife was addicted to hydros and ultrams for 8 yrs. The worst side effect for her was irritability, pain in legs,and throwing up everything she ate for a month. She has been on the Suboxone prog. for 4 months and is getting back to her old self again.I do not know what will happen when the sub program ends but we will see. Hang in there and get help family members do not like seeing their loved ones torn inside and out. "

" Basically the way you're feeling now is what you can expect, depending on how much you have been taking.

The withdrawal symptoms for most narcotics are the same, depending on usage. "
