Ive been on suboxone for nearly 17 years. I take 4mg strip daily but still get 16mg prescribed. I save them too because ive had insurance issues, or Drs dissapear or lose their license, or i didnt have funds to pay dr clinic who only take cash at $150 a visit and they require weekly visits, or when our entire area was flooded to the attics. Detoxing off subs takes 6 months and is excrutiating. So you are NOT alone. Luckily now there is a flat fee of $125 month telehealth and some take insurance now.

Saved my life, my bffs life, her husbands life, and thousands more just in my County alone.

Those that claim it rotted their teeth. No, not staying hydrated, not flossing, and not brushing regularly is what rotted the teeth.
Sugar 99% reason for rotted teeth & the other 1% is dehydration.
