Watch the pills... they are damn addicting and the physical withdrawal sucks. Also, be careful with hydrocodone (vicoden) and percoset. Both are laced with Tylonol. It's way too easy to OD on the Tylonol and not the opioid, which really f*&ks you up forever if you body doesn't shut down and die.
Personally, I liked oxycodone (not extended release) and dilaudid (hydromorphone). The dilaudid is good stuff... I actually get a buzz and feel like getting up and doing stuff. It works well for house-cleaning motivation. Methadone gives a strange buzz and is by far the worst to withdraw from.
Have fun!
