Suboxone mysteries

[Dog55]

It seems that suboxone is the topic with the most mystery. I can't seem to  get a straight answer from anyone. I've been on it for a while and have had some interesting experiences; many were not among those I'd read about. I would like to converse with someone who is also on this drug and share experiences. Let me know if you're on it or if you have been and gotten off.

I am on about 2mg every other day, tapering as fast as I possibly can so I can get off.. I ma very scared though. It seams that a lot of people say that I will just get addicted to the Subs in replacement of Lortab. I went from 8 mg to 2 mg in 9 days. My goal is to be completely off by 14. I can deal with small physical wd's and I am strong enough to go through the mental ones. I just hope at day 14 that the physical wd's have fully passed and that I can be fully clean. I wish everyone the best of luck. This is such a battle we are all fighting.

Wow   I wish it were that simple.  Based on what I've read just trying to "figure out" the correct dosage in and of itself is incredibly hard.   And that doesn't even touch on the subject of it is, or is not, healthy to use as a recovery tool.   I am so weary of this subject.

You said it your self sub is only a tool, just like any medication is up to you to put it to use for you.

It seems like a lot of people are doing ok on sub (not all) and am glad. I want to hear from the people who have weened off of it and know how they feel and how they are doing with cravings. I don't believe that drugs save a drug addicts life, they are only tools.

Thank you for being so sweet and caring, I am so very sorry I left those words off my above post,  but I never forgot  your thoughts in my mind and heart.  You are a gentle soul, thank you so very much and your kindness to me.

Thank you both for your input.......I see both sides of what you are saying  and Bu I had read that article before hense my inability to steer my daughter in the right direction, becasue evert web site  every doc has a diabolically opposed opinion.   I have given up on wishing for the magic wand to make it all better,  but it would be nice to get two cconsequtive medical  opinions that mesh.  Just amazes me the FDA releases this stuff  and ther are so many unknowns on long term  use  or short term damage.

PLEASE do ont misunderstand,  if it works for you great,  if it doesn't  that is your decision as well.......I am just stuck in pergatory without a flipping clue of what can help my girl stop relapsing  and the mental hold  that wont  let go.

Thank you again.  I wish  you all success in your sobriety.
