First off, go see your doctor before you take anything like Suboxone. It is a powerful narcotic and it isn't something that you can take for a few days and then just quit. Your opiate history isn't that long, so I think you will be ok after the suboxone (If your doctor gives it to you. We aren't doctors so none of us should be giving you advice on taking anything..I wish you the best of luck.....

I want to make clear that suboxone is not suppose to be used as a quick fix (although it does work). It is to be used for a long term 6months to a year to retrain your brain sensors that have been damaged. I have been on suboxone for about 5 months and it is amazing if you truly want to get off the opiates. It takes the craving away 99.5%, I am starting to get my life back. If you really want to stay off any kind of opiates I would reccomend it to anyone. Just like any other drug there will be withdrawls but I would not trade it for anything. My doc assures me that wheaning can be done gradually so there are 0 wd symptoms. And by the way suboxonne is not suppose to make you high, if it does you are not on the correct dosage. Suboxone can take the withdrawls away for the short term, but it is meant for long term treatment to heal brain receptors. It is amazing if used correctly.

You not really ready to quit being high. You either got some major issues in the past your need to deal with and get over or find closure or you just wanna keep getting high. You got to hit a bottom. Most people dont really wanna get clean until they hit the bottom and have nothing and no body. I hope u can figure out that drugs are not the life for anyone. U needa get clean and forget about the drugs and those loser that u hang wit. u might think their your friends but really think about it, they just using you to get high.....

Been on Hydro/Oxy's for a good 2months ish. Maybe 3months I can't quite remember but I take about160mg a day and don't wanna anymore. I also have a box of suboxone 8.5 subling films. Last night I got sick, total w/d symptons and I ended up taking a single film and felt phenom.pretty quickly.
I need advice on how to take this suboxone drug. Do I need to take another in a few hrs or just take when I start to feel sick. What is too much. Been a drug user my entire life and do smoke daily. I think that's all you ned to know:) any help out there?
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful night!

You arent commited enough. easier SAID commited. but that is your issue AND my issue. my main drug of choice is vicodin which alot of people think aww that aint s**t. i took vicodin for months it stopped workin so i started taking oxys til they stopped workin like they use to. i withdrawaled cold turkey and it was really hard. i was clean for about 45 days and the whole time all i could think about was vicodin. so i eventually relapsed. i thought maybe i could handle doin it occasionally like i use to. i slipped back into my addiction so fast and within like 3 weeks i was back on oxys 6 months go by with about 3 failed attempts to cold turkey it (i have done the suboxone thing but that is a false hope really it is that s**t gets u high and u still arent technically clean.) and i finally made a decision that i was sick of being sick all the time and that the s**t was ruining my life. so i quit cold turkey again. i went about 3 weeks and i was still w/ding so i thought maybe i could take vicodin to ease the withdrawals. i took vics for about 3 weeks and i never felt a pain like that in my entire life. i would take 5 750's and immediately start withdrawaling reallly bad within about 3 hours. so 11 days ago I knew it was now or never. i just keep repeating the same old habits over and over and over again. i quit the vicodin cold turkey and i dont know if it was because i wasnt done w/ding from the oxys when i started taking them but this has been the worst withdrawal worse than the oxys. i know its hard to believe. but I have MADE A CHOICE to have my life back instead of the drug having my life. YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO LET YOUR ADDICTION GO 100% YOU HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO IT. its the hardest thing i know (ive f***ed with H a couple times so i understand what ur going through as well with that drug) i stopped taking it because i was too scared to fall into that. but listen to what i am telling you. If you're going to quit you have to WANT it completely or you'll never get clean straight up, you will never get clean unless you are willing to let it go and never look back. Buy an NA book and read that sht it will tell you what you need to do to stop. you dont necessarily have to do the 12 step thing tho youre chances of success are much higher with it. and one more thing that you are probably doing wrong is listening to the voice in the back of your head telling you its ok for you to get high today. thats the devil speaking to you dont f***in listen to that s**t. sometimes its hard to push the voice out. at times he will keep nagging at you for hours. but as each day goes by the voice gets fainter and fainter and those are the words that were told to me by people who have been clean for years. we are addicts and always will be. but there is light at the end of the tunnel i promise. those 45 days i was clean were the best ive felt in years and i still beat myself up over relapsing. but keep your head up THINGS GET BETTER.

Suboxone is usually started a dose they figure equals whatever amoung you were abusing, to help stave off the worse withdrawals, then it is slowly tapered down.
It is, however, a very potent opiate and should not be used without a doctor's supervision.
Common side effects can include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
