Suboxone or subutex?

[Barbergirl80]

So I've  been trying to finally get off of my opiate addiction for months now, cycles of on again , off again ... Dozens of bouts of trying to " kick" or detox on my own with failed outcomes every time.... I always resort to using either heroin, or oxys, etc.... I'm finally at the end of my rope. I'm done being enslaved to this crap and I want my life back. I want the old ME back!!   The  first time I decided to quit my opiates, I went to a DR and got a script of Suboxone. It was expensive as hell but was worth it to me to get sober. After getting the script and being in compete agony from the withdrawls for 2 days, I popped the suboxone first dose and I bounced back and felt great after only 30 minutes after taking it!  It was a miracle and I couldn't believe that the symptoms of WD werre completed gone! However, I went thru the script of SUBs and couldn't afford more when I ran out, and I resorted to getting loaded again... Sigh.... Then I got another script of suboxone, only this time because of my money situation the dr prescribed me subutex . And upon taking it , I felt so sick! I tried waiting longer and longer and took it always after 20 hours atleast from the last dose of heroin. And still my withdrawl symptoms were worse and I felt horrible ! I wondered if maybe some people do  better on suboxone than subutex? Anyway, I couldn't take the subutex because of how bad it made me feel, and I wasn't abusing it  or anything. So I don't  know what went wrong in my individual expierience with taking Subutex. Anyone else have bad expieriences with taking Subutex? Anyway I ended up getting loaded again..... ( I know I know :( ) I wot sit here and try to justify WHY I went and got loaded again. That's the sad life of an addict :/ I now am at the point where I've blown out all my veins so it's almost impossible  shooting up , I just want out of this dark hole I'm in. I'm done. I just want to live a healthy, happy life. I'm angry at my addiction and I'm ready to finally put an end to this crap!  So I went and got a script of suboxone again, forked out the extra $250 bucks for 15 strips. Ugh. Expensive I know . Without insurance . That's what I gotta do..... And I'm
Planning to start the suboxone  Saturday morning.  I hve to work and I'm hoping that it works the way it should and I can get thru my day without any problems. Has anyone else had better expieriences with suboxone VS subutex? Has anyone else gotten severely sick with subutex VS taking suboxone??  Wish me luck this week. I'm ready to finally  get sober. I can't afford rehab, and it really ***** that when people really need and want tebelp to get clean and sober ... There isn't many resources available to help  addicts like me. Rehab costs like 20 grand and  even outpatient programs cost several hundred dollars a visit and they require u to come in at a minimum of 3 times a week, I can't afford over $600 a week. I really wish there was more  help available for addicts like me that wanna get  better but arent rich, and don't have a rich mommy and daddy who will pay for everything for them.... I'm curious to hear any feedback on  individual expieriences  regarding suboxone and subutex . Thanks everyone, wish me luck !!

Subutex** sorry my phone likes to correct my spelling.

It's generally Suboxone that should make you sick given that it's 4 parts buprenorphine and 1 part naloxone (acts as a deterrent) where as Subtext is all buprenorphine. How much are you taking? I suggest going higher and see what happens.

I don't know why you got sick from the Subutex. It's only a guess but I would imagine if you got sick from one then you will get sick from the other. I used Suboxone more times then I care to admit but have not been prescribed Subutex so I don't know the answer. Hopefully someone can come along and help you out here with this question.

I hope this time you stick to the program and get off that merry-go-round. It never ends well. And remember that Suboxone is not just a pill you take to get you through withdrawal. It is a complete program and should be followed under strict doctor's care and in conjunction with an aftercare program.

I wish you the best. Let us know how you are doing.
