My pain physician decided to just stop prescribing it to me and due to the horrible withdrawls I am now going to a methadone clinic (commonly used for heroine addiction) to try to withdrawl off of it.

Well after being on 80mg of the oxycontin for that length of time, nothing much would work, I was physicially addicted to the cure so to speak. The Doctors then decided to try the Methadone and I have to say that I really didn't have much faith in the drug. However after using it now for 18 months, I feel like I can take control of my life again and live like everyone else is.
