Good and informative vid. Thanks for posting this. I'm a few weeks into the "weaning off" (Oxycontin) right now and the physical aches and panic feelings seem to cause some depression. Also, you have a feeling of "mourning" because the drug will no longer be there when you (think) you need it. May God bless and help all addicts...
