Swear to GOD!

AThis is a rant and not really a question.  I'm so fed up with ppl getting misled into taking this Suboxone crap.  If i had to do it all over again i would have just cold turkey'd off the pain pills.  I'm so frustrated with what we go through as general public more importantly the addict community. Can they not figure out how to make something Non Habit Forming? I mean really is this the governments plan to take down white ppl? I have yet to meet a black man addicted to oxy.  It's a white problem.  Black crack White Oxy.  Here i am at almost a month clean and these little side effects are hanging with me and its keeping me from feeling completely normal.  I'm coughing non stop..so bad i think i pulled my diaphragm.  The sneezing is subsiding but really? Make a drug that affects us 1 full month almost from quitting.  THAT IS SOME BCHIT!!!!! I'm a very strong person with a ton of willpwer.  I really pity anyone weak minded or low self control to find their way off this crap.  SO MAD SO MAD SO MAD!!!!!!!!!

I find it hard to believe that in 2015, with the entire sum of human knowledge available on your phone, that people are mindlessly putting whatever their doctor gives them into their system. Subs do have a place for a certain profile of addict, and yes doctors do over-prescribe them to the wrong people, but I don't see how anyone can miss the fact that it's an opiate. Or be unable to do a little research. My opinion is that blaming the doctor is making excuses. There's an old expression: When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So if you go to a sub doctor, don't be surprised if they prescribe you subs!

I agree with you for the most part. SUBOXONE has it's place but it's waaaay over prescribed by supposed Sub Doctors who don't have a grasp on how to prescribe and to whom.

I always go back to the fact that it's an opiate and although I don't have a personal experience, so many have talked about getting high on Sub. That's a problem along with staying on it for months and years.  

I'm glad you got this off your chest!
