Some of us live in areas that you dont have the option of a methadone clinic, or if you tell your doc your withdrawaling hed cut you off say your an addict. The best way i have found being a pain patient for the last 6 yrs is alota Vicodin and some Adderal. The Vics help ease the pain so your not completly freaking out and the adderal replaces that happy high, so you can come down gradually. not recommended if u have heart probs. or if you have anxiety issues take zanex or clonapin to ease the stress factors.

Yes, it is doable, but if you can get some meds to help you it is better. There are non-addictive meds that will help you through the withdrawal. Do you have a dr. you can get these meds from?
