help with suboxone

[bolpak]

Is suboxone like glue for your brain?
by bolpak,
I was told by my doctor that suboxone is like a glue that adheres to the receptors in your brain that receive the opiate molecule..  What other receptors does suboxone adhere to?  What does that mean in the long term?  I dont feel the feelings of love, friendship and other feelings the same way as I did before starting the drug.....  Anybody else feel the same???

I have been taking Sub for about 18 days & I feel great except for my chronic back pain. Other than that I actually feel like my self again. Normal, happy & outgoing. I have the desire to get out again. Are you saying that after taking sub for awhile it starts making you feel weird?? Do you get depressed, anxious & isolate?

Thanks for your help that really has me worried.

Yes, I feel the same. I have been tapering for a long, long time and hope to be done with it in 2 more months.  Even the small amount I take effects me that way. We must remember it does have a very strong opiate in it. After being on it for 2 years I find it to be very similar to the pain pills.  I'm not social etc.
