Obviously the best way to detox from painkillers is a detox but...If anyone knows a way that one would be able to lessen the withdrawal symptoms or ease this process maybe from experience I would like some imput. Would it make any sense if someone has some Vicoden or Percosets left to maybe take less than they usually would and try to ween off them. I know detoxing from opiates is not a life threatening situation like Alcohol. But I have heard it can be pretty bad. Any suggestions besides detox, and call a doctor. I know these are the obvious solutions but I was wondering if anyone has done this on there own....Thanx

i have thought about doing this myself and then I have to remind myself that if I stopped taking my meds I would be in pain again. However, I have heard that Suboxone is really great for getting off of pain meds. It blocks your ability to get any effects from opiate pain meds and makes the withdrawl symtoms a lot easier.
