the real deal on suboxone

I went for my 1 week visit for my suboxone treatment and did get some myths cleared up. Not every doctor runs their program the same.my doc won't even think about wheaning you off sub until you fix all the things in your life that your addiction destroyed.what's the point of getting treatment to keep the same life that got you using in the first place. Secondly he believes in very slow tapering, like 1 mg every few weeks and its no rush, let's say you get stuck between 1mg and 0, would it really be that bad to take a half of a pill a day to keep you clean from using or never having to go through horrible w/d again. But the good news is people get off sub with great success. And its working great for me

I've been on (and off) sub since May 17 and I believe you are definitely on the right track. I don't care what all the naysayers claim, Subooxone is a miracle drug. Of course it isn't THE answer, but there is nothing like it that can allow us to step back, take a breath and deal with our addiction with a semi-clear head. It got me off the hamster-wheel loop and is helping me get off vicodin. Keep up the good work and let me know if you need encouragement.
