Does anyone have any experience with this? Thx...
Hi Everyone: Someone mentioned no withdrawls should be felt when tapering...I thought otherwise. I was expecting some discomfort, actually quite a bit for the first few days, but as the opiate...
OK...I was averaging 6 percocet (5/325) a day. I also received 15 50 mg mylon patches. I would wear a patch and then 2 days later would add another patch and then 2 days later would remove the 1st...

Hi Everyone: I have both of the above but the patches seem so strong. My doc states that pills are actually more addictive but I feel that I can control (or at least try) the pillls better. Any...
