You’re correct stopping can be a challenge for some. Yes it’s not an addiction but a dependence and abruptly stopping can be good or bad I guess. I’ve been using the Percocet for about 10+ years but I rarely need it anymore. I only get 28 a month and maybe take 2-3 a month. The buprenorphine works very well for my pain.
Im glad you didn’t switch to heroine but do you require anything now? Why were you taking it previously?

@jenatsky I had extreme and severe pain in my cervical section of my neck. I ended up with a complete fusion from C2 to t3. The pain at the time was totally unbearable
