yeah they are like hell to get off of...i need like a half of a suboxen everyday to stay level and ill finally wein off of them and be good then ill start eatin oxys or 30mg roxys again like candy and the whole cycle just starts back up again....painkillers are opiates which is what herion is but obviousy the pills are no where near as strong...it just sucks having to live dependent on pills...i just started it because ive never been a drinker and i wont drink when i go out id rather pop pills....if u legitamily got hurt and got prescribed 5mg hydrodones thats nothing and ur not goin to get addicted it when u take about 50mgs or more everyday for like 6 months straight ur fucked...ive been pretty much hooked for a yr and half now and i admit it sucks...addiction just runs in my family
