For those of you living with long term non terminal chronic pain who
are taking Oxycontin or MS contin etc.. and now you wish to quit for
your own personal reasons but you don't know how to stop because of the
grip these pills has, I have a idea. What about a Patch created to help
with the withdrawal just like the nicotine patch. would this be a viable?

I feel that it is certainly worth taking a look, at before I resist
the idea. I am sorta in the situation which you mentioned...wanting
to quit for personal reasons. If one is able to tolerate the pain,
which would be a result of stopping the meds. then it most certainly
would be a viable option. In my case, I feel that my pain is less
than when I initially started taking the strong opiods and therefore,
would like to stop taking the meds. but like you said, I don't want
the withdrawl and really don't want to start on bupe., as eventually,
I would have to get off of it.
Catch 22, I guess....we all have different degrees of pain and I feel
that my life would be better without the meds.
thanks for the thought.
