What is Suboxone?

I'm just curious. I have absolutely no desire to take any, but I thought I had heard of every opiate (is it an opiate?). I know I can Google it but just curious if anyone has had experience with it? Beneficial or just another can of worms?...

it's helped alot of us get off pain pills.  it takes almost all desire away for them.

for many of us, it's been a "miracle drug." and there is a celing effect on it, so you don't get high, nor absue them.

from what i've read, you need to taper off very slowly though, if on for more than 21 days (i have been on it a couple months, so I don't know yet.)

i would highly recommend doing it under a doctor's supervision (an addiction specialist) who will also give you counceling as well, if you are considering.

i've read alot of people on here getting it off the streets and i just don't get it.  with all the dough we've spent on drugs, and if the desire is really there to get off opiates, then there really is no reason not to do it (the Sub) the "right way" - and hedge your bets the best you can to stay off the pills..

so there's some info for ya!

best,
mj
