I've been addicted to pain pills for about 3 years now. I have to buy them on the street because I don't have anything wrong with me to get a perscription. I've been spending about $5-$10 a pill depending on what I get so I'm usually broke by Monday and I get paid every Friday. Sunday morning I bought my friends last 2 percocet 5mg and went until yesterday morning and bought 1 15mg morphine pill for $5. I really want to quit. I'm ready for a change but I don't have any idea what to do with myself. I'm so antsy and my skin is crawling. I'm at work now and for about 2 hours I've been bouncing my leg up and down on my heel and I look like a crack addict. How do I do this??

Please try Suboxone. I was addicted to pain pills for 8 years. I have been clean with the help of Suboxone for 4 weeks. I feel amazing. No withdrawls, no emotional rollercoster and my insurance covers it so it is only $25.00 for a months supply. What a deal compared to street drugs. I was taking up to 40 Vicodin a day or 2 50mg Fentanly patches and was switched to 2 Suboxone a day with no withdrawls. Truly a miracle. Give it a try. Good Luck

I have been a addict for 12 years and I know what you mean by "skin crawling" It really does hurt to be in your own skin. It will only get worse, I went to jail once for drug related charges for 12 days and on the 9th day I was coughing up blood and my heart rate was through the roof, they transfered me to the hospitol and my body was in shock and shutting down. That still didn't scare me enough, but 8 months later I just had enough one day and admitted myself into a methadone treatment center. I have not used in 3 years. I take 130mg a day but, I have no withdraw. I still miss the feeling but I don't miss the "sickness". If you ever need to talk please email me (junie101278@yahoo.com).

Where do you live??? In the States or Canada.
If you live in Canada, this treatment will be available soon for you.
Buprenorphine / Suboxone.
I think this is the way to go now. I have heard alot of good things about this medication.
Please try and get help.

I'm a 29yr. old single mom who has played with drugs since i was 14.It all began slow. By the age of 24 i was a everyday user. I had no choice,the withdrawl was too much for me. It's hard living normal life going thru withdrawl. I went to a outpatient where they admitted me into detox,from there i went to inpatient for 30 days. I only have 90 days clean but the rat race of having to find it and afford it is not missed. I wish you the best.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
