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!!!!!!!!!

Here's the way I think they get you.  Most of us get on subs to avoid or greatly reduce  getting sick From being given depen!ent.  So we trust the dr that we can live a normal life on thesee forever.  Well after 2 or 3 years of upping doses it's easy to get caught up in a very unhealthy lifestyle.  Noone will eve convince me you can live normally on these DRUGS. So as vulnerable  as we are getting g to the sub doc we are willing to do whatever it takes to feel better.  Little did we know we were entering into a practically life sentence.   The truth is relapse on subs is EXTREMELY  high.  Most cannot break these before they break you! Most don't have time to give themselves  to be patient to recover appropriately.   I could go on and on!

Yeah, i have to say i dont think this is a fair comparison. IMO, people find subs when they cant handle w/d and staying clean on their own. I didnt go to a dr to buy oreos, however, i did put my trust in a dr that the subs were the answer. It was a big mistake.....

Btw  you must not know my history.  I've quit smoking alcohol fried foods caffeine gambling and all prescription medicines.  This DRUG is the only thing lingering in my life for any type of reality.

You want to compare Suboxone to Food? You need 1 to live.  You're just disagreeing with me which is fine.  Are you still on Subs? Sounds like something  I would have said ON drugs.

Yes, buyer beware!  When it comes to anything
I've been fat before,  but never blamed Nabisco
I've smoked for years, but never felt Philip Morris was out to get me
and I am an addict , on suboxone. But don't feel like my dr is money hungry or is clueless. And I don't blame Reckitt Benckiser ( maker of sub) for my on going recovery
these are just a few things I thought of when I read your post
just my humble opinion

Lol...i love your rant b/c i have to agree. It would have been ao much easier to w/d off the pills rather than the subs....and most drs that prescribe it have no idea what their doing.....use this hatred to your advantage to stay clean. Use whatever u have to!
