Please give it a chance a few times before going the sub route that is a last ditch effort try to be free of these pills naturally there is no free pass to go ,it takes a little discomfort some tuff days but you can do it.

Glad your here ,you have found a place of info and support ,there is something comforting knowing we are not alone and finding the tools and support to stop the pills.I see that a great person sent you the thomas recipe I only used the over counter stuff the potassium magnisium really helps with those bone pains ,get pms for sleep.well just read it and get the stuff.I went off the vics CT and was able to stay home and hide thru the awful part(just like the flu ),is there anyway to take a few days off? There are people who do work thru this so just keep reading and reading and posting it really is the magic that can get you there and really wanting it badly.I am 44 days off vics today and feel better than any day taking those pills Good Luck and stick around and play

Tapering off of them is an option. If you have the self control to do it. (many of us don't)
Suboxone is another good way, but expensive. Not as bad as what you're paying now, though. suboxone.com or naatb.org
Cold turkey is always an option too. Takes 4-5 bad days then it slowly gets better.
