Suboxone Is Highly Addictive & Extremely Hard To Stop Using

If you use Suboxone to get off Methadone or any other opiate, you will be trading one addition for another. Suboxone is extremely difficult to withdraw from, google it prior to using it for anything. It causes weight gain, in 5 years I have gained 50 lbs and I am very active, working out does not help to lose the weight, this drug is dangerous, my heart blew a valve, Sick Sinus Syndrome, not good, look it up, my cardiologist said Suboxone caused it. Once again, depending on how long you are on Suboxone, the withdrawal symptoms are horrific and it could take years for you to wean off of it. Additionally if you do not have insurance the cost from a pharmacy for strips are $8 per strip, pills are generic and just under $4. The only way to get off of it is to taper down and it is not easy to do stay away from it at all costs, it could destroy your life. I suppose opiates can be worse but if you want to be fat and happy take suboxone.

Please stop spreading false information your statements are nonsense. You may have other medical issues. I'm the same weight now as when I started taking suboxone and I haven't had any issues health wise and have been taking them for years. They have saved my life. Suboxone is an addictive drug but with a doctors help and tapering off you can stop easily. Scaring everyone does not help anyone,
