crushing vs. swallowing

hey everyone! i hope everyone is good this morning! i have a question; i read on one of the threads (i believe this is what it said) that if you crush the pills and take them that the withdrawl process would be less severe???? as you can see i'm in day 2 of withdrawls (it's 3:47am here!!!!) and i crushed mine at the end of my pill obsession. any insight would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
lisa

Well I recall that one of the most significant things about drugs is the route of adminastration. The quicker the drugs gets into the blood the more addicitng it becomes. Swalloing the medications crushed will speed the time it takes to get into the bloodstream. Do not think it relates to the withdrwals being more severe. Your thinking second guesing, your feeling guilty,asking ? what if. I know that is normal. Did you have a plan or did you just stop. Withdrawing with a plan works better than winging it. I think your really asking how, when well the w.d be over. Your not holding up well. Not  saying without knowing detials what you could do at this point, but you could  get into treatment or look at Buprenex to finish this out. Buprenex will still help you. With Buprenex take less as you can for the shortest period possible or wind up with a bigger addiction problem. Hope this all is what you need for information.   God Bless, keep trying or retrying!
