Suboxone/Subutex Live Chat Room?

Hi, I hear so many people with questions and who just want to talk to someone who is going through something similar   to what they are going through and I've looked everywhere but there doesn't seem to be an such thing. Sometimes I just want to talk to someone right now (not wait for their response which may never come). There are lots of people trying to get off of this medication or just having questions about it and I can't understand why someone wouldn't start a chat room for us :)  Laura xx

This is exactly what ive been needing. i live in a small town in Alberta and everyone is so secretive about suboxone  and ashamed about recovery.  My family doesnt want to hear about the issues I face on subs , they just expect me to stay on it. If i decide i want to continue to taper down they dont want to see, hear or deal with it. Just do it and dont complain or struggle. I know they are just afraid i will relapse . I used opiates for a year and a half and have been on subs for just over two.  Im sick of feeling nauseous every morning, no energy, an over whelming desire to isolate which wasnt present in the first 6 months on it.  I feel numb and have no life anymore. im getting by doing the bare minimum.  Of course i fear relapse but Im just not living a life that feels fullfillment or worthwhile.  my personality has completely changed and I just cant continue on like this. My dr. doesnt understand he feels like my family that as long as im sober thats all i should care about.  I feel alone and so disconnected from eveyone and everything around me.  Does anyone feel this same way? Im so grateful for this chat group.

Sure_eh.  I"m missed this and the opportunity to talk to you!  This forum doesn't get a lot of chat but try this one, (another here at medhelp) that I check regularly as do others.  https://www.medhelp.org/forums/Addiction-Substance-Abuse/show/77  I'd love to chat with you about all things!  Online friends are very nice to have and there is NEVER any shame.  hugs
I have been an opioid addict for about 8 years. IM from sask so i know the stigma all to well! I had to get off all this by going against everyone’s opinion! Pills after car accident, then heroin, then fentanyl, methadone for 4 years. Switched over to sub for a year, 16 mg. Got Carrie’s and tapered myself down. I’m telling you right now. I was feeling lethargic 6 months in sub. But if tapered down properly, withdrawal is not even the word I would use. A mild discomfort, a little bit of a sore stomach but I was able to work and all that. I’m now 20 days off sub. And I feel like myself again. Ambitions and sexual drive and joking around and happy. I’m hoping it’s not the pink cloud cuz I have been sober from altering my mind for over a year now. But you do feel better when you get all this garbage out of your body.

Absolutely!! I went to treatment because I was taking 5 per s a day. Never more! I was starting to feel really ****** and knee I would need to go up on my dose so I went to treatment. I was put on Subs the next morning and in three days I was taking 14 mg. I went through treatment high! I now have all the symptoms you describe. Would love to talk to you sometime

   I was only recently prescribed suboxone however,  I have had that same problem with my xanax, my oxycodone, and my oxycontin. Yet the pharmacy will fill my Zoloft and my Seroquel twice in the same month. I didn't think my insurance would cover anything twice in one month but, yeah it wasn't a problem with my non- narcotic meds....silly and ridiculous if u ask me. The only reason I was even trying to fill all my meds early is because I was going on a two week cruise out of the country. So as I said it was no prob with the antidepressant and the antipsychotic... I ended up not even being able to enjoy my vacation because I was in pain the whole time..... I guess in the defense of the pharmacies, if so many people weren't selling their narcotic meds, nobody would have these issues.  That is after all the reason the DEA made the rules with narcotics.... Def unfarw to all those who ligetamately need their meds..

I was wondering if anyone can plz tell me how long after taking an opiate do u have to wait to take suboxone?  I was told u can't take it right away or it would have no effect.  Unless I was misinformed.  Any input would be appreciated as I am newly prescribed suboxone for pain to try and get off of oxycodone and oxycontin.  Thanx in advance.

I was told 18 to 24 hours after your last use or you will go into full blown rattle.
My doctor cleared me to start suboxone between 1 and 2 days of when I last took oxycodone. 1st dose was 4mg of suboxone.

i have been on suboxone 2mg for 5 years. i and my dr. have tried to wean me down without success. now, with the federal laws out of control, they are making it sooo difficult for regular, no funny business people to fill their prescriptions except on the 30th day exactly. im so tired of being treated like a criminal everytime i walk into a pharmacy!!! anyone else?

Hi, the thing about suboxone is this. When you are taking ANY more than two milligrams, you are overloading you blood with it. Your body will not absorb it all at once. SO,  if your Sub levels are all over the place..so are you. Moods change rapidly, unprovoked anger, loss of motivation, paranoia. It is VERY important to keep the levels right in the blood because when it gets high look out. You will definitely get sick if you take pills or heroin along with Suboxon but , Suboxone itself has veryveryveryvery high abuse rate. If he's trying to quit something and does ...good for him, but if it gets worse get the damn suboxone out

my fiancé has been nothing but hell to deal with. but he told me subutex makes it so if you use opiates you will get sick.is this true.  I don't know about this particular drug. I have been clean since 08 and I did suboxone and methadone. so those two are the ones I know about. im pretty positive he is lying to me so i'd really appreciate someone's output on this
