I thought you were saying there was a $$$ issue with paying for the Sub. Sorry.

If you've seen some of my posts, you probably read that I went cold turkey from 480 mgs a day of oxy.  I had been on it for two years and today is my 10th day clean.
Do you get your oxy from the dr?  If so, do what I'm going to do when I see my dr. on Thurs.
I'm going to tell him I have tried to get off this drug but the w/d is so bad, I need help.  I thought I was a strong person and thought that after 10 days, I'd at least be feeling better.  Nope.  
So It's either ask the dr. for something to help me or I'm going to fail and I will have went thru all these days of misery for nothing.
Best of luck to you,

I assume the Oxy cost a pretty penny. Can you substitute one for the other or is Sub so much more $$$?
