And if your doc was aware of common Wdrwl/Symptoms from his own patients (and most of them say there are none) your doc SHOULD have have told you to firstly decrease your intake of 200SR, then would have discussed a regimented reduction via 100SR and then 50SR and then.... (i wont elaborate further, but there is a way to keep your pain levels and withdrawals in check while attemmpting to detox such a drug from your system. Maybe he just didnt have enough experience with its administration and reduction regime.
Withdrawal and reception are linked greatly. You will feel symptomatic when withdrawing, but it might not be due to an addiction, but a reliance due to pain.

Cheers and thanks for sharing that ;-)
