Alright well I'm a 22 year old male, and was addicted to oxycontin two years ago for about 4-5 months. I originally got a presription for Percoset for my wisdom teeth getting pulled, but after that I wanted more and found someone who could get oxycontin. I was hooked, and wanted the stuff everyday. I wanted to stop, but just couldn't deal with the withdrawals, but then luckily the guy I bought em was arrested and this forced me to quit cold turkey. The withdrawals were hell though, even just for 4-5 months use, and I can't imagaine how you can get off it with years of use, so I have lots of respect for those of you who did it. Well after that I was fine for awhile, but then I was prescribed tramadol for Restless Leg Syndrome. I've been addicted to this stuff for like 8 months, and I just hate the feeling that I cant get through the day without taking these stupid pills. I havent told anybody, I'm too ashamed of it. The problem with tramadol is that its so easy to get, you can just order it online w/o a sript and it's there the next day. I wish I had the willpower to stop, and I've tried many times but the withdrawals are too much for me. It seems like the withdrawals on these last a lot longer than oxycontin.. I take about 8-12 50mgs pills a day, and just wanted to know the best way to get off. Would you recommend tapering off this slowly? I know I haven't been on it for that long, but I figured the longer I wait the worse off I'll be. But thanks for any help you can give...
