PLEASE get all the info before starting this dangerous drug. Thank you for taking the time to listen and god bless. If I would've known the difficulty of getting off suboxone I would've never started taking it! The withdrawals from this is a million times worst then any painkiller out there!!! I reccomend this med for SHORT TERM use..to get off the opiate. But don't stay on it...if you can help it. I have been trying to get off of the Suboxone now and it is HELL! Every step down on the medication you are only supposed to have 'Mild' withdrawl's for a couple of days only. That's BS. Mine lasted straight through the month until the next step down. Now I am wondering how the hell I'm going to get off of these things! Do yourself a favor, If you can do it without, DO IT WITHOUT SUBOXONE!! This is only good for the Doc cause you have to keep going back to them.

I have been on Suboxone, or something similar ie. Subutex, Zubsolve, generic Buprenorphine for 8 years.

I have been on Suboxone, or something similar ie. Subutex, Zubsolve, generic Buprenorphine for 8 years. This drug saved my life, I was a heroin addict and when I started treatment my liver function was so bad they thought I was in the late stages of hepatitis. Two months on this drug and it was back to normal. I do not crave opiates, I don't want them or think about them. The only down sides to this drug are the price,and the availability. If your insurance wont cover it, and most wont, it can be as high as 11 dollars a piece for brand name strips or as low as 3 dollars a pill for generic buprenorphine. The availability can be terrible as well, and office visits to physicians who prescribe this are almost never covered by insurance. I am currently driving 3 hours and paying 120 dollars out of pocket for my monthly visit. All that being said, this drug was a miracle for me. It does not change the fact that I am an addict and using this medication is literally changing one addiction for another. I have seen repeatedly where people have said that withdrawls from suboxone are not as bad as with other opiates, this is not the case for me, it is just as bad as heroin, but with this addiction I am able to live my life, and that is whats important.

Not only does this medication stop all cravings of opiates but it also stops all cravings for alcohol. However, there are side effects. For me they are, constipation, chronic insomnia, weight gain and addiction. You basically trade one drug for the other but this drug has much less negative consequences of use.
