My name is Leah and I would love to talk to you about Suboxone. I just took my first dose this morning and I'm kind of scared and not really knowing what to expect if you would like to talk I would appreciate it . I do need a friend.

Well I have been on the suboxen for 11 years about half a day. I have with dream twice, once for two weeks, and that's when I was doing three 8s a day. I felt like I was going to die. The next time years later, I went 90 days, but also adhered to a strict diet of no wheat. I went gluten free also and even tho I had some withdrawls, it was a lot better. I didn't sleep for 40 days. I'm back on the subs, I'm only doing 4mil a day, and have con clued that if that's the worst thing I do, I'm going to give myself a break. If I had my wish I would not even do an asprin. I was completely drug free for close to 30 years. Not alchol or cigaretts either, those are drugs to, mabey even worse in the long run. It's interesting because a drug is legal we assume it's okay for us, take as little of anything as you can and be happy and treat other people fairly, you will be able to look yourself in the mirror and be proud of what you see.

Suboxone is more addictive and harder to get off of the methadone or the pain pills put together and I've done Suboxone for two years trying to get off the pain pills I am into my first week without any pain pills are Suboxone it's a living hell I would recommend that your friend regulate his self to get down on that Suboxone I've taken maybe 2 mg a day for about a month there's no easy way of getting half of it you just have to tough it out in a week and a few days I will start coming around I'm no doctor just trying to help

My Son took Subox for 3 Years and stayed clean! He was happy, productive, had energy and felt like it was a Miracle Med for him! He was murdered in Fl. But I believe that it saved his life the 3 years he was on it! I saw for my own eyes that it gave him back his life! I don't see a problem with people being on it as a lifelong plan, to keep a person clean! Stay on it, if you truly have a problem with addiction! Sincerely a Broken hearted mom!

Re: Tonya (# 266)

I am SO SORRY about your son! :( I have had pain most of my life and 5 years ago a minor surgery damaged my spine so much that I can't even walk without an opiate. And if I have to sit in a chair for the rest of my life I will go crazy! My PM doctor keeps trying to reduce my dose and I can't take this merry go round anymore.

Re: Screwed UP (# 206)

I have three sons and one daughter in law that escaped the addiction to prescription pills by going to suboxone and subutex. It leveled there life out where they were able to work but getting off of it seems much harder. I have never seen anyone get weened off by the doctor as they are suppose to do. The doctors allows there patients to decide when they are ready and if that doctor presses the issue the patient simply gets a new doctor and the merry go round keeps turning. The expense is costly unless your insurance covers it. I believe maybe rehab to get off prescription meds probably easier but then my only addiction is an occasional pepsi.
