here are a few thoughts on the matter. First, it is not very smart to stop taking any opiate cold turkey. Not only is it dangerous, you are putting yourself through unnesassry torture.

I have gone off an on oxycontin, oxycodine, codeine, etc and when you ween yourself off it is not that bad. Now of course diffrent people have diffrent discomfort levels.

The other thing is that it is important for people to realisticly look at their situation. If you need pain medication because you are in pain, then why try to stop taking your medication? Unless you are taking dangerous dosages of the medication, there is no reason to put yourself through this kind of tourture. Dont let the ignorance that surrounds the word "addiction" make you feel guilty about taking medication you NEED to get through life.

If you are a chronic pain sufferer, addiction to pain medication is an eventuallity, but there is NOTHING wrong with that! Even if you get off your medication and dont feel withdrawl or a phsyical need for it, then what are you going to do about your pain that was the reason for taking it in the first place.? Thats not going to go away, so you are going to end up back on the medication.

I do feel for those of you that have an unsuportive mate, im am sorry to hear that. Perhaps if they are open to educating themselves on the matter it will help.

Anyway, the bottom line is ask yourself why you want to stop taking the medication. Unless you arent in pain and are still taking them, or you are taking very high dosages, I dont really in my opinion see a reason to stop taking it. In fact not taking your medication may be the worse thing you can do.

If you have a mental illness and you need medication to stay sane, you have to take it. If you have chronic phsyical pain and you need medication to live your life, you have to take it. I think the media and alot of ignorant people try to distort reality by using the "drug addict" tag on a person that needs to take pain medication.

Anyway thats my 2 sense, and sorry for the poor spelling.
